a white spot in the midst of the dark
ness, and is painted, as is Mr. Trotta' S
custom. in almost fiat color. but with
highly finished surface.
Mr.. Trotta is one of the adopted

this country a rich gift. 1t was he
who was chosen some two years ago
to paint the portrait of Secretary
Hughes to be presented to Italy by the
Italian Americans. He has been rep
resented in exhibitions held bien-
niany at the Corcoran Gallery of Art
and in the annual exhibitions of the
National Academy of Design. Lately
he has received a fattering order for
a large number of paintings from an
art patron in Connecticut.

in progress, showing the animal in
American art. This comprises draw

only of the familiar domestic ami :

of the mountain, plain and forest.
Among the exhibitors are artists of
very divergent tendencies-Hunt Die
derich, Paul Manship and Frances
Kent. all of whom show animal forms
motives for decoration in sculp-

this city. whose vast knowledge
gained from a profound study of
comparative anatomy and intense
observation of living animals has
been put at the service of science.
Carl Akeley, another exhibitor, is, as
many know, not only distinguished ID
sculptor, but one of the leading taxi
dermists. There are horses by Her
