This is, indeed very different in color, sub

Reply to Sir Thomas Upton.

A dispatch from New York says: The
New York Yacht Club has replied to the
letter of Sir Thomas Upton in which the
Irish baronet asked If the club would ac-
cept a challenge for a race for the cup
under the new rule of measurement OF
the club
Sir Thomas Upton, in asking If the
club would accept a challenge under the
new rules. practically asked the-club to
bar the Reliance, Constitution and Co
lumbia from participating in future races
for the cup. These boats could not be
used as defenders because the present
rules of the club limit the draught of any
boat to eighteen feet. and these three
draw twenty feet each
The letter points out that the deed of
gift requires a challenge to come from
some foreign yacht club. and that it is
the challenging club. and not the repre-
sentative, that the New York Yacht Club
recognizes. If challenge is received
from some yacht club. asking for a race
under certain conditions, then the matter
will be considered by the New York Yacht
Club and some definite action taken.
There Is feeling among many mem
bers of the club that 1t would not be ac-
cording to the conditions laid down ir
the deed of gift to accept a challenge for
race under the new rules.

Exhibition of the Society of
Washington Artists.
iCREDITAFLE DISPLAY
BY ARTISTS OF NATIONAL AND
LOCAL REPUTATION.
One of the Best Collections of Paintings
Ever Got Together in this
Country.
'CRRDITAFLE DISPLAY

The fourteenth annual exhibition of the
Society of Washington Artists, which opens
in the hemicycle of the Corceran Gallery on
Monday afternoon with a vanishing day
reception contains, without doubt. the most
notable collection of paintings which has
ever been exhibited under the auspices of
this organization. Indeed so excellent is
the display that it is more than question
able if at any time better small exhibition
of contemporary paintings has been held.
There are in this exhibition only about
eighty-five canvases. against the three hun
dIed shown by the National Academy and
the six hundred catalogued by the Penn
sylvania Academy but what it loses from
lack of wall space it makes up in advanced
standard
For those who estimate the value of
painting by the celebrity of the painter let
H. be known that a large percentage of
these works are by artists of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia who have more than
national renown; and for those who judge
work by its merits alone be it said that
the majority of these pictures may honestly
be called works Of art. There are in the
entire exhibition no amateur works, no
pictures which were painted merely for
sale, and freaks cleverly put together
for the purpose of creating a sensation.
All the canvases show ability, thought and
training, and, in most instances. aspiration.

become customary to discriminate between
exhibitions which appeal specially to artists
and to the general public, according to

teresting and weii-rendered painting. Mr..
B. Edwin Whiteman of Baltimore sends
three commendable landscapes. and Aine
Meyvis of The Hague, Holland. two ex-
tremely notable ones. Mr.. Arthur Parton
contributes a large and somewhat litho-
graphic canvas of winter on the Hudson"
and In REST by the Wayside'' Mr.. William
M. Chase is not seen at his best. Mr.
Chase does, however, contribute besides
this landscape, and his excellent portrait
study, THE Japanese Book the notable
genre called I'm the Studio" to which was
awarded the first Corcoran prize.
This very naturally directs the attention
to the two very admirable. little interiors
which Mr.. Edward Lind Morse has painted
of his own delightful studio, with which so
many Washingtonans have already formed
pleasant associations These are both
small canvases, but they are painted with
spirit and without finnickineSS, and, with
Mr.. Morse's still-iife group, are among the
specially notable features of the exhibition.
OF marines there are but two-a colorful
seascape, by Mr.. Clary Ray. and gentle,
poetic ocean view, by Mr.. Wells Sawyer.
Mr.. Powell sends two of his most attractive
and meritorious Venetian pictures, and MIR.
F. Carl Smith a very interesting and i'm
portant genre, picturing fax spinner.
There are no miniatures this year, no
decorative work, and but one piece of sculp-
ture. small bronze of an Egyptian turkey
seller, by Mr.. Amateis, but as no available
wall space has been left or unworthily filled
1t is needless to regret these omissions.
The exhibition will be open free to the
public from Tuesday, March 30, to April 10
inclusive on every week day and on Sunday
afternoons.

an attractive spring picture showing white

two canvases-a beautiful but rather con-

covered bridge. such as one commonly sees
in upper New England.

CLEVELAND ON TRUST DECISION.
SAYS That His Administration Was
Blocked by Courts Decree.

A dispatch from Princeton says: Speaking
to a correspondent of the Press about the
recent decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Northern Securities
case. ex-President Cleveland said in answer
to the question:
What will be the effect of this latest
decision? VIII it upset the economic con.
ditions of the country some people il
Wall street assert?''
THAT is mere talk. The court has de-
clared this to be the law of the land un-
der the Constitution and the country will
have to adapt itself to the law"
1.-THE question of the government TAX
ing legal action against the so-called trusts

last administration from 1898 to 1897

received reports from Mr. Olney who was

sions OF the Supreme Court, which, at that
time, tied our hands. Mr.. Harmon, whC
was Attorney General for the last two
years, also endeavored to push matters.
'In my last message to Congress, ii
December. 1896, L dealt with the ques-
ton. There was considerable criticism
leveled at Mr. Olney by the newspapers
because he did not prosecute some trusts.
That criticism was not justified. The de
csion of the Supreme Court as I pointed
out in my message, restricted our action
against trusts unless they were engaged IL

There was a distinct difference drawn
between railroads and purely producing
combinations. 1t could not be sad thai
the Sugar Trust or the Beef Trust, or the
Standard Oil Company was directly en-
gagged in interstate transportation, They
were engaged in the manufacture and sale
of products
There was no opportunity to take any
such action this merger suit. The case
did not present itself. If contracts existed
among these business combinations for the
restraint of trade they were Kept secre-
and no evidence offered itself on which t
act. At that time this merger of railroads
had not been formed, so that there was nc
in mind the distinction laid down in pre-
yious decisions of the court regarding

awarded the first Cnrcoran prize. s.The
Glass Bowl is very properly called "a
study, but 1t Is not for this reason any
the less interesting. and "The Quiet Hour
Is one of the most original and notable
works which has been produced In recent
years by American artist. These pic
lures were shown this year. respectively in
the Pennsylvania and New York acad-
emies. 1t is to Mr.. Alexander that the
Converse gold medal for thigh achieve

services in the cause of art (Which is con-

to the fact that the distinction was mer-

"The Black Shawl" by Mr. E. Louis
Mora, is also noteworthy contribution,
though less patiently attractive. we'll

aim of artist is to keep his sitters
within their frames, not to make them step
out of them, and in the accomplishment of
this feat Mr.. Mora has eminently succeed
ed. He has placed the wearer of the shawl
in such an attitude that she apparently
stands without fatigue, and he has sur
rounded her with atmosphere. Curiously
enough there is in this exhibition another
picture entitled THE Black Shawl" which
also must claim recognition with the best

Wentworth Roberts of this city. 1t pic
lures an elderly lady seated in a straight
backed chair in plain room, much after
the manner in which Whistler saw fit to
portray his mother. s@It has obviously been
inspired by this notable painting in the
Luxembourg, but it is far from an imita-
ton. 1t is. while original. surprisingly in
the Whistler spirit, and will reveal to some
wherein lay the great masters influence
and charm better than anything short of

tn Breed the Catalo.

Charles J. Jones, better known as "Buf-
faio" Jones, warden of the Yellowstone
National Park, has returned to Topeka
Kan, from Washington highly elated over
the interest displayed by President Roose-
welt in a plan to cross buffaloes and cattle
to produce animals which can be utilized In
Alaska.
He says that the cross has been produced
with success, and that the President be-
lieves that the ''catalo," the cross l.
known, is the only animal which can b
used for domestic purposes in Alaska. The
President recommended that Congress ap-
propriate the sum of 10000 to be used ir
conducting experiments for the production
of these animals.
The "catalo' has a much heavier growth
of hair than native cattle, and it is fully
as capable of withstanding cold as the
buffalo.

Local Representation.

Local Representation.
Among the landscapes the local repre-
sentation Is especially strong. there being
in the entire collection no more important
work than the canvas by Max weyl en-
titled Lovers Lane" Nor is this faint
pEaise, for picture will seldom be found
in better company. Yet in this, in the
Cosmos Club exhibition last fall, Mr. WeyIS
work more than holds It's own with re-
serve of force and dignity. This Lovers
Lane" IS, to be sure, simple composition,
a gray day, some open fields and rough
stony little road, but it is delightful in
color and tone, atmospheric and full or
good sentiment
Mr.. James Henry Moser. too, sends a
noteworthy canvas: a modest little picture
of November sunset, showing a tiny brook
winding through brown, frosted fields 1t
is probably the smallest painting In the
exhibition, but 1t tells its story unhaltingly.
The sky is luminous and atmospheric. the
composition simple and attractive, and the
whole may be found somewhat reminiscent
of the Whistler mode and feeling. The fact
that with the large forceful paintings with
which this exhibition abounds this diminu-
tive canvas still appears important Is more
than significant of its merit. Mr. e. &.
Messer sends interesting Interpretation
of a sunset across the Potomac fats which
points out anew the extremely Iaintable
possibilities of local material, end Miss
Bertha E. Perrie contributes sketch OF
an old windmill near Ipswich. Edgar Nye
is represented by an excellent and earnest
little painting of Rock creek, and Mr.. Ed
ward Siebert by two canvases pictur1ng
sunny summer days.
There are a number of snow pictures
which even to the layman must prove at
tractive. though the memory of the past
winter fingers unpleasantly. One is by Mr..
Spencer Nichols, three ere by Mr.. Birge
Harrison, and fifth has been painted by
Mr.. Hugh Breckenridge. The one by Mr..
Nichols is the view from his studio win
dow. and was painted about six weeks ago
1t shows a broad stretch of unbroken snow
line of woods and the setting sun. The
sky is cold and yellow and a bit of the
golden tint has crept over the trees and
gilded the edge of the single wagon tracS
which passes over the long. low hill. 1t is
broadly painted and simple in effect, and al
the same time is more realistic, more gen.

paintings
That Mr.. Harrison's paintings are inter-
esting goes without saying. but in order to
fully appreciate the 'Toboggan Slide" one
must see il in bright afternoon light and
have become familiar with it's color scheme
1t is then oddly attractive, but perhaps
always less appealing than the little Red
House which stands bathed in the winter
sunlight across a gray twilight field of
snow. ''Old Quebec by Mr.. Harrison is
also notable picture, but with its line
of crooked houses frozen river and distant
hills presents too many problems in per-
spective for the eye to find it restful. The
fifth of the snow pictures by Mr.. Hugh
Breckenridge is rather impressionistic in
treatment, and while important is far less
notable than his charming nocturne called
THE Sheltered Moon.''
An Original Canvas.
This last is indeed one of the most origi-
