Thursday morning the new bumper of the fire department known as Engine Co., No. 6, located at the Thamesville fire station, was damaged when struck by large truck of the Shetucket Coal and Lumber Co, while /the apparatus was parked on West Thames street.
 The truck, loaded with two tons of coal, was headed towards Thamesvile and when nearly opposite the fire engine the left. forward tire on the truck blew out. The heavy load made 1t impossi- ble for the driver to hold the truck straight and 1t veered to the left. strik- ing the bumper head-on.

Max
His Brilliant Satire Upon the
Pre-Raphaelites

"A new book by Max Beerbohm is
welcome at any time, but there are, for
u.s. special reasons for rejoicing over
the latest, an early copy of which we
had had the luck to receive on its ar
rival from London. He calls it
"Rossetti and His Circle" and il con-
talns sheaf of about twenty of those
family touched drawings, wakened
into greater animation by pale washes
Of color, in which he proves that a
piercing caricaturist need not neces-
sarily be faultless draughtsman.
The drawings bear legends, long and
short, which are half the fun.

with an ironic apology, his prediction
for the past. He continues: "perhaps
you have never heard of Rossetti. In
this case must apologize still more

There Is growing cult for him "a.

realization of the fact that The charm

functioning inspiration. phyfe, we
gather, was not that kind of man; he
had more knowledge. mora taste, than
temperament. But In craftsmanship,
in the strict sense, he and his COL
leagues would appear to have been true
inheritors Of the eighteenth century
tradition. Tho finish Of his wood is
beyond praise. His construction has
worn superbly. For these reasons, as
we'll as for the quality Of design he
illustrates, deep educational value Is
to be attached to this exhibition. Re-
cent developments in American indus

tion SO medieval and Renaissance
types. Fashion, we are told. has had

little collection is extraordinarily va
ried in character. Two Americans hgure
in it, West and Stuart The example of
West is charming BIT Of mythology,
q 'sVenus Instructing Cupid" which re-
calls Angelica Kaufman only to give
one pleasurabls sense Of the vigor
which our painter substitutes for her
insipidity. The Stuart Is the marquis
of Waterford" really British study OF
thoroughly British type. Technically
it is one Of the most spirited canvases
of Stuart's we have ever seen. as dash
ing as a Goya and far more precise.
The portrait is an instructive illustra-
ton of the American masters ability
to rise above the tradition to which he
owed SO much, or rather, to imbue that
tradition with brio all his own. This
yirils performance fails naturally into
association with two other portraits Of
men here, the Captain William Greer, y
by Romney, end the William, 9th Lord
Napier by Raeburn. All three are
brisk, vivid interpretations Of manly
character and examples Of fluent, mas
terful brushwork. The Raeburn is ex-
ceptional. He had only too often his
thin, papery moods. In this instance
he is at the height Of his powers, broad,
forcefnl, absolutely masculine and au-
thoritative.

the portraits Of women the most ag-

swift in attack. so free and forcible In
his handling, that one regrets tho more

New Pictures
The Women Painters and an
Independent Salon

The National Association of Women
Painters and Scuiptors Is holding at
the Fins Arts Building it's thirty
second annual exhibition. The Prize
winning canvas In 1t is Miss Camelia
Whitehurst's full length Of child,
Charlotte Hundley," clever piece of
summary brush work. It is clear from
the tribute paid to this portrait, which
occupies the best place in the main
gallery, that the association would do
honor to technical adroltncas. Miss
Whitehurst discloses in this portrait,
and even more in her other exhibit,
3Little May" q manual facility and
boldness suggesting the rude bravura
Of Mr.. George Luks. Incidentally she
points a moral.
The association believes In good
technique and on every hand reveals a
lively ambition to foster It. The ex-
hibition is full Of work revealing
earnest effort. It contains discourag-
ingly little in which ambition is ac-
companied by the natural, personal
gift which alone will make painting,
interesting. There are canvases which
would successfully assert themselves
anywhere, in an exhibition made by
men as we'll as in one made by women.
They are the canvases Of Mary cassatt,
Ellen Emmet Rand, Cecilia Beaux. A
few pieces here and there fall into the.
same category. the Portrait o. Mrs
Maurics Leon,p by Hilda Beicher; the
portrait called sAt the Italian Booth" !"
by Constance Curtis; the paintings by
Christine Herter. Matilda Browne, Ann

Rossetti would have done 1t himself.
Perhaps he did enjoy quiet chuckie

chairs are draped with gorgeous mate
