PICTURES FOR U. of VA.
Church's Natural Bridge and hepne"
of Houdon's Washington.

r,ottesville, Va, April ga
beautiful painting of the Natural
Bridge. Virginia, was hung in Madi-
son Hall, University of Virginia, on
Wednesday. 1t is the work OF Fred
erick E. Church, the great American
artist, and was given to the university
by Mr.. Thomas f. Ryan.
Mr.. Church painted the picture for
CYRUS W. Field while he was visit
ing the Natural Bridge in 1852. Mr..
Field was promoter Of the Atlantic
cable The painting hung in Mr..
F;e,d,s New York residence until his
death A short time ago Mr.. Ryan
learned that it could be bought, and
he Immediately got it for the uni
versity.
The painting is particularly strik-
ing as regards cloud effects, richness
of coloring and for the delicacy and
minuteness with which the natural
beauties are portrayed. The view
through the massive arch of the
bridge is depicted without the least
suggestion of exaggeration.
MIR. Church's painting of the Natur-
al Bridge holds rank with another
landscape of his, Niagara Falls, which
is now classed among the most Valu-
albe and costly American art works.
President Alderman announces the
gift of $1,000 by Mr.. John Thomas
I.upton, of Chattanooga, for the pur-
pose of erecting on the university

statue of Washington; a portrait OF
Mr.. Joseph Bryan, given by his sons,
and a portrait of Senator John W.
Daniel, by the rector and visitors oil
