FINE ARTS EXHIBIT
MOST CRED|TABLE
EVER SHOWN
Handpainted China Showing
Especially Large-oil, Wa
ter Color

The most creditable have ever
SEEN" said Superintendent w. R. Van
dernoef OF the fine arts exhibit this
morning when asked how 1t compar-
ed with that Of other years. He was
still busy hanging pictures accord
ing to class and with disregard to
color or artistic taste and at the
same time remarked that the hand
painted china display was fully twice
as large as ever before aud worthy
OF special mention. The photography
is interesting for the fact that most
OF 1T is the work Of amateurs and
shows what can be done with the
small camera. Miss Bernice Veitch
and Mrs. Vanderhoef assisted in the
arranging of this display and ev-
erything was in ship shape when the
crowds began to arrive this after
noon.
II. M. Shaw, the Grand Forks coun-
ty treasurer, will Judge the photogra-
ply but the other judges have not
yet been selected.
The China Display
There are two large rscks complete
ly filled with hand painted china this
year and the work is shown by both
professionals and amateurs. In one
rack only conventional designs are
shown and these are attracting admir-
able comment on every hand. Two
large vases with peacock designs are
splendid specimens of the art and
there are several large mugs and
bowls. The chocolate and tea sets,
large and small plates, salts and pep
pers make up the smaller pieces and
the ordinary observers find 1t hard to
separate the professional work from
that OF students.
In the other rack the floral and
fruit designs predominate and there
Is q great collection of stems. Tank
ards and vases are shown in numbers
and two very large punch bowls of
handsome design. This collection is
completed with bread and butter
plates, large cake plates, nut bowls,
sugars and creamers and chocolate
sets.
Oil Paintings
The oil work is an exceptionally
large display and all are excellent
specimens. A large lion in a massive
frame representing a cage is very
ASAAASsAS "AAAC OIAOl ldI6O Q1CIuIcS
In that class are are a deer study,
moonlight water scene, rough water
scene, several splendid woods scenes
and rock and mountain studies.
In sepia choice predominating is in
Landscape work and animals. This
is not large collection but each
specimen is Of very high class.
Water Color
Water color work is shown in per-
haps forty specimens and the studies
are fruit, flowers, weeds, water and
landscape scenes. The work is of a
much higher grade than is usually
shown and the work shown by juniors
is especially commendable
Tho Photography
Camera and kodak specimens pre-
vail in the photography exhibit this
year and the collection is excellent.
There are several groups in domes-
tic animals and fowls, scenes from
nature, children, country and lake
scenes and farm and harvest scenes,
driveways and residences. The post
card collections are numerous and
very fine and the enlarged kodak pic
lures are exceptionally good.

Jerseys from the Burwed farm, the
Galloways shown by Isaac Lincoln,
the Red Polled cattle belonging to w.
s. Hill, the Shorthorns shown by the
