CFrom Tuesdays Daily.)

hibit ncld Dy lHe art sSSlOi Ol ''N Monday Club at the club house on 1 Saturday afternoon and evening and | yesterday afternoon, was revelation to a large number of those in attend | ancc. whose privilege it was to view such a fine collection of paintings- lovers of the beautiful and worthy in art expressing the opinion that the exhibit would have done credit to a city of far greater size than Prescott.
 The purpose of this exhibit was mainly 10 show a collection ot oils from the brush of Miss Ethel Coe. a member of the faculty of the Art ln- stitute of Chicago, whose original paintings shown here, were executed while working under the direction of Sorolla. the famous Spanish painter of Madrid.
 The exhibit comprised about thirty five studies. none of them large, and included Spanish bits of architecture and landscapes; two interesting can vases of tiny. rapid character sketch cs. of which each little peasant figure is full of life and movement.
 She paints with sure brush. full of color, and her skies are happily sug- eestive of the shifting panorama of cloud effect. There are several very interesting Spanish doorways. through which one elimpses further suggestive bits of architecture or landscape; charming balcony; an equally attract i've arcade of Granada looking from within cut toward the sunlight, and several pleasing little marine sub iects. Miss Goes perspective is good and he- buildings, while full of the sunlight effects of Spain. are very solid n her treatment of them.
 While this collection is valued al nearly $2.5OO, a high figure from . layman's point of view, it must be realizel that these canvasses cannot be originally reproduced at the pres cnt time.
 Miss May Noble of Phoenix, much of whose work has been done among the Pueblos of New Mexico, and whose pictures were exhibited at the recent State fair. had about twenty subjects. similar in character to Miss Goes, except that they arc of the mis- sions and Pueblo buildings and noun tain tops of our own country, and they lack. perhaps. the surcr knowl- edge and more subtle colorings of the more experienced brush. Among this collection were shown some interest ing snow-capped mountain scenes, with characteristic floating clouds, a strongly painted garden with holly hooks. q shady court yard interior and other Pueblo and mission build ings, all of which won easily their share of interest and admiration.
 The kecncst interest, however. was manifested in the canvasscs of Miss Kate Cory. whose work is more or less familiar 10 the people of Prescott where she has made her permanent residence for the past number ot years. The constant aim of her study is the searching of the paintablc in the various interesting phases of Ari- zona landscape, and in the Indian life. of which latter but one example was shown. \ large study Of a Je- rome view portrays the distant red rock rim. and the interesting foot hills snadowed here and there by the floating clouds of Spring. giving a fine sense of space and distance; a re- gently completed canvas from mid way down the Hermit trail of the Grand Canyon. one of the rarcst of the canyon sunsets. with the glow flooding 1t in the middle distance and fading to soft. rich purples beyond, is a valuable addition to Miss Cory's collection; the old village of Walpi bathcd in a sunset glow. the old In dian fagot gatherer coming home in late afternoon. the Lonesome valley red buttc,, Castle Hot Springs mourn tains. are all more or less familiar to the public hcrc-also two smaller studies, The Arroya." loaned by Mir. | D. Russell, and "Thc Druids," Red Rock study. loaned by Miss Dexter. | \ soft pastel quality and full of al bosphcre, is the kcyno;c or a canvas of the peaks and Granite Dells re gently purchased by Mr. (.
