John Albert Seaford, Boston artist.
has placed on exhibition at the Rich
mond Art club, number OF his
sketches Of picturesque buildings and
historic American towns Several
"bits'of Richmond scenes are included
among the sketches. including Earl
ham hall. the courthouse facade. and
views Of the older part of the city.
There is almost touch OF old world
quaintness in some of the coast town
scenes which are displayed among the
sketches. Old fishing towns like Glou-
cester and Provincetown, and the
quaint sections of old Boston have
given the artist material for many OF
his pictures. He has also used some
of the old buildings in the east, espe-
cially in college towns. as the basis
for some clever drawings,
Seaford has the ability of taking
what he likes Of an uninteresting
building, and making it assume dignity
and beauty. His views of the court
house at Richmond give that building
a grace and balance that cannot be
found in the complete structure.
Many Of the pictures on exhibition
have been used in book illustrations.
Mr.. Seaford has illustrated several
books written by Hildegarde Haw-
thorne on old New England coast
towns and eastern college towns, and
has also drawn the illustrations for
descriptive books of Boston. Toledo,
and other cities. Thirty-two of the
sketches with which he illustrated the

ST. LOUIS man
IS SOUGHT HERE

At $40 o'clock on the morning OF
Sunday, May II. an old white haired
man got off of an eastbound passen-
ger train at the Pennsylvania station.
Nothing has been seen or heard OF
him since.
&. H. Dinsnore of st. Louis was
the man and relatives have instigatcd
search for him. Richmond police
and Pennsylvania railroad detectives
have been conducting wide search
in this vicinity, but nothing can he
learned OF his whereabouts.
Dinsmore bought ticket from St
Louis TO Mansfield Hills, Mass, ON
Saturday, May IL. Just before the
train upon which he was riding pulled
into the Richmond station the con-
ductor saw the old man in one of the
passenger coaches. Fifteen minutes
after the train left Richmond the con-
ductor discovered that the old man
was not aboard, though all of his bag
gage was in its accustomed place.
The conductor sent a telegram to
Richmond from the next station and
an immediate search was made for
Dlnsmore. 1t proved of no avail and
his relatives in ST Louis were mott
tied.
According to a letter received from
w. r. Dinsmore of ST. Louis, Il son,
his father sometimes suffered from a
lapse of memory, and at such times
did not even know his own name or
where he lived. When in that condi-
ton the entire past became a blank,
and the son believes that he is now
suffering from such an attack.
Anyone who may know anything
about him is asked to communicate
with the Richmond police. The elder
Dinsmore is described as being five
feet. seven inches tall, with gray hair
and gray mustache.
