Could a young sculptor spring thus

No. we repeat, il is simply natural for
Mr.. Manship to use the idiom of an
earlier day. The masterpieces OF
Egypt, Greece and Rome have all fer
tilted his keen intelligence, and out Of
his sympathy for them he has fash
ioned an eclectic garment of style.
This he filings over the firm foundation
of a naturalisln absolutely modern and
absolutely sincere.
His Spring" is conceived in the form
of a nude model of to-day, yawning as
she wakes from sleep and exhibiting a
purely animal enjoyment of the play of
muscle even in the action of her toes.
Nothing, one is half inclined TO say,
could well be less poetic. But we see
at once that Mr.. Manship has his own
idea of Spring-one that we find some
how appealing-and that when he
comes to express it he knows how to
raise it to higher power by the magic

The "one man" show holds sway at
the Knoedler gallery, where, in fact,
three different artists occupy three diff
ferent rooms. One of these painters,
Mr.. William T. Smedley. now appears
for the first time, If we are not mis-
taken, with a collected exhibition of his
portraits. 1t was time that he thus
came before the public, for year after
year he has played his part well at the
Academy and elsewhere. 1t is Mr..

Three humble types are grouped around

the balance of his simple almost state

which he forgot to be cynical and
scornful. There are Goyas and Goyas.
Sometimes he could be merely violent.
Sometimes merely dull. At his best he
could be not only brilliant but charm

admired but to be lived with. This
portrait is a flawless gem.

paints his stters, Enthusiastically types

style corresponding pretty closely TO
their rather prosaic habit. he gives
quality to his work through his sim
cerity, his truth and his sound tech
nique. There is something admirably
straightforward and dignified about
these portraits, something infinitely su-
perior TO the meretricious "brilliance'
which is so much in vogue to-day. out
of his old experience the artist pre-
serves an ingenious pictorial resource,
and in one or two instances, notably
the Miss Ruth Wills" and the Miss
Gypsy Spayde," he appeals to us with
the charm of design adding to the in
terest which dwells in his subject. But
mostly he is content with the simplest
possible arrangement of his figure, con-
centrating his skill, and our attention,
upon character, modelling the head and
hands. studying the expression, with
sympathetic emotion and firm, sure
touch which produce in the long run
one of the best things in portraiture, a
kind of friendly reality. The painter
is clearly and utterly at the service Of
his theme. His crisp, accurate drafts
manship, his quiet tone, his quick but
never assertive brush work, his honest,
knowledgable grasp upon form, are all
wreaked upon the task Of making a
good likeness and stamping the por-
trait with a modest but genuine indi-
viduality. With his refinement, his
technical strength and his vitality, this
portrait painter may be quite cheer
fully resigned to the fact that he is not
a virtuOso.
Mr.. Beckwith, in the next room,
offers us the fruits Of another summer
spent at Versailles. The copies he has
made from Natter and Largilliere are
disappointing, for while they are finely
drawn they are rather hard in color,
missing the delicate suavity character
istic Of the school. Perhaps time will
improve the surfaces of these paint
ings. In his more formal views of the
gardens, too, Mr.. Beckwith is scarcely
successful, giving an unwelcome stiff
ness 10 his subjects. There Is a grace

monumental. Fortunately. however.

asked for and also judgment under

ing student in the Academy at the

contract.
Answering the attachment against
him for a violation of the injunction
heretofore issued in this cause, the
respondent denies most emphatically
that he violated the same. He denies
that either before or after the filing
of the bill he had ever sought to in
fiuence any student to leave the Acad-
envy to go to Gulfport or elsewhere.
He denies emphatically that he ever
contemplated any treachery to the
school. He admits, however, that his
wife, over his positive instructions
and against his express will and to
his sincere regret, did go upon the
premises of the school after granting
the injunction, but that he does moi
know what she said to the boys. He
denies that with his consent his home

that the only reason why the COM

he made the contract with respondent

Respondent Hardy denies that ne
visited the school at Gulfport at the
expense of the complainant; on the
contrary says he was there only twice
after his employment by complain
ant and that on both occasions he
was there at his own expense.
Regarding the charge that the cat
alogue of the school at Gulfport is an
exact copy of that of the Columbia
Military Academy, respondent admits
that this may be true; that he had
nothing whatever to do with the COM
pilation of the Gulfport catalogue;
that it was prepared by McGenee;
that the catalogue of the G. M. A. Is
not copyrighted; that McGehee had
had access to past catalogues OF the
school and that it was easy to obtain
one and he could not have prevented
anyone from copying the same.
