 ART EXHIBITION

The Globes Art gallery, Charleston. , s. C., was a scene of much interest last week with the passing throng viewing the first great all-southern art exhlbi- ton, which is now being held at that place
 The sculptor, Edward Allen Hyer, has offered d prize of $15 to the one guessing the name of d piece of his work which is on exhibition. the rpize to be awarded after March 15. Lively interest and speculation were shown by many visitors, especially noticed among whom were several naval officers and business men of the city.
 The oil painting that was attracting most attention was the winner of the second place. We regret that a second prize was not offered. The title of this I@picture is Philadelphia street. and was painted by Miss May Paine of Charles ton. Miss Paine has studied each spring under the instruction of the art teachers who were sent here by the Carolina Art associat tion for the sketch clubs, thus showing that the Carolina Art association is sending forth good artists to take places in the prominent art exhibits of the country and not only passing so eminent a jury of selection as this one of the all-southern than which there is no better, but winning next to highest place in oil and highest place of landscapes in the biggest and best exhibition the south has ever put on and among which exhibitors are those that have won honorable mention by the government of France and have exhibited in northern exhibitions of long standing. Philadelphia street was named over a hundred years ago by an old gentleman from Philadelphia and at a time when the street was a promi- nent one It has been suggested that the artist send this painting on to the city for which it was named to be ex- hibited. There seems to have been some discussion as to why the street was named Philadelphia, and it is thought that this city will be proud of it's namesake
 Another Charleston artist who for the past few years has attracted much at tention as miniature painter Miss Leila Waring, has won the second place for miniatures in this eSnibiton. Miss Wating has studied ls;3 atd in New York and has worked in Wilmington, Delaware and Philadelphia.
 In the year 1917 she was called to Baltimore to paint the miniature of Cardinal Gibbons, who posed for her at two sittings and the miniature was made in three days, the pTocedes of which were given to the Serbian relief booth of the allied bazaar in Baltimore. It was intended that this miniature be exhibited at this time, but since it has changed hands 1t is known that it is in Waterbury, Conn, but no address could be secured. Miss Waring's prize win ming miniature is that of the infant daughter of MT. and Mrs. Henry P. Will Hams of Charleston, and is said to be as fine aN any to be SeNn in the north- ern exhibitions.
 Miss $. Corinpe lamar of Maryland won first place with her fine miniature of Richard Reiss, while the third place was awarded to Miss Han-ah Elliott of Birmingham, for the miniature en- titled, "A Baby Head" This miniature is considered very fine work of art.
 Among the visitors were seen Her bert Ross. an exhibitor from Kentucky Miss Margaret Hayne Beatty of Green ville, and Miss May Ball of Atlanta, who have pictures in the exhibition. Other visitors are expected at the gall lery at the end of the week.
