Wednesday evening, December Is, on
the work of his distinguished father.
1t was Homer Saint -Gaudens, 1t will
be remembered, who compiled and pre-
pared shortly after his fathers death
the Life and Letters Of Augustus
Saint. .Gaudens." None SO well as he
knows the work of this greatest of our
American sculptors or the spirit In
which it was produced.
Washingtonians have much reason
to hold Augustus Saint-Gaudens'
memory sacred because of the service
he rendered, without compensation, as
a member of the Burnham Park Com
mission, which brought back to life
the l'Enfant plan and pointed the way
to the beautiful development of Wash
ington, our National Capital; also be.
cause we have the privilege of having.
here in Rock Creek Cemetery, his
masterpiece, the Adams memorial. one
of the greatest works of art produced
in recent times. Augustus Saint
Gaudens, furthermore, lent enrich
ment to our Nation through the Gre
alton Of beautiful works. in sculpture.
He was an indefatigable worker, ne
was dissatisfied with anything short
of perfection; he set a high standard,
the standard of the ideal.
Furthermore, through his studio at
Aspect, Cornish, N. H., which has
now become a memorial museum for
the people of the whole United States.
he gathered around him group OF
talented young men and women from
whom have come, and are still COM
ing, works Of sculpture of superior
merit, adding beauty to our cities. en-
richment to our lives. Among these
are James Earl Fraser, whose superb
statue of Alexander Hamilton stands
on the south steps of our Treasury
and whose Ericsson Memorial graces
our Potomac Pork.

THE exhibition Of etchings, dry.
points and woodblock prints by B.
J. o. Nordfeldt to be seen at present
and all this month in the Smithsonian
Building has the virtue of variety as
well as merit. The potentialities Of
four different processes are illustrated
and the subjects shown have been
found in many parts Of the world.
For instance, among the etchings
there is a group of three architectural
subjects characteristic of Chicago --
Bridge Builders" Goal Crusher"
and the "Field Columbian Museum"
There Is a group of four representa-
tive scenes in San Francisco, among
which mention may be made of China

home and studios, filled with his mas
terly and exquisite works, which the
sculptor's widow and his son have
generously given in custody to the
State of New Hampshire for the peo-
pie Of America. Forty.six thousand
dollars of the needed $4,000 has been
raised. The sum has grown slowly,
because it has been the desire Of the
donors and the trustees that the sum,
as a whole, should represent many
small gifts. Doubtless there are those
in Washington who would like to
make contribution. If SO, they Will be
grateful to know that Glenn Brown,
Corcoran Courts Apartments, 403
Twenty-third street northwest, Is the
chairman of local committee and
will be glad to receive and transmit
any such gifts. ...
Miss Hattie E. Burdette has just
finished most admirable portrait of
Mrs. Thomas r. Bayard. 1t is three
quarter-length oil painting, and shows
Mrs. Bayard wearing an evening gown
of light blue, with a deep, handsome
bertha of point lace. It is said to be
an excellent likeness. Another o1
Miss Burdette's recent works is por-
trait of Miss Clark, daughter Of Mr.
Allen c. Clark of this city. She is pic.
tured in a lavender gown, with a
string of coral beads around her neck
A third lately completed canvas is a
still life study-a bowl of zinnias,
charmingly colorful and most skill
fully rendered.
Miss Burdette has a rare perception
Of color, as well as nice decorative
sense. It Is rather remarkable that
xs,IaN iVx<e exIr-
in oils. and who is so successful in
children's portraits in pastels, should
also achieve genuine success in minia-
ture painting. Miss Burdette's minia-
lures rank among the best. She has
lately painted a most engaging minia-
ture from an old portrait, giving to the
charming subject a new lease of life.

FRIDAYS FIGHTS
OUGHT TO SHOW
MUCH SLUCC!NC

Friday night S glovcfcst at the
local arena stacks IN as offering
plenty Of heavy hitting, with the
hard socking Howard Adams and
Harry Lee heading the list in the
ten round main event.
There is no question about the
ability of these boys when it comes
to handing out the punishment. Each
has a creditable kayo record and
each has been going at good pace
lately. 1t looks like an even up
proposition with either liable to
cop.
Young Bello, who is billed to go
six rounds in the semi final with
Tommy Shull Of Phoenix, is known
as wildcat scrapper who always
tries to win by the kayo route.
Shull is a newcomer in this section
but he is recommended as a willing,
capable performer.
The main preliminary will see
Lloyd McBee of Texas, in opposi-
tion to Young Firpo. McBcc is also
a newcomer in valley fistic circles.
He will have to step at u good pace
to. win from the BrawleF boy who
has been SHOWING, to advantage in
his recent, starts. IS
Fans who witnessed the Lucero-
Gaines eileonnter here last week
know that these two will furnish
plenty of fireworks when they tangle
in the opener. Gaines, Ell Centre
colored boy, took Vic to a sweet
: cleaning last Friday, slapping his
way to victory with AN opcnhanded
right that had LuGero puzzled all
the way. Last night he scored a
knockout over Joe Olivas at Braw-
ley. Vic declares he can step this
SOFT of. thing Friday night and he
is said to have perfected a defense
for that Afight. !.AThis bout was ar
ranged at the insistence of Lucero
who is certain he can reverse the de-
cision in the coming bout.

-FOUR KNOCKOUTS
! ARE REGISTERED
[ AT LEGION BOUTS

For the first time in many moons
the Honorable John Joseph Knock
out battcd for 100 per cent i'll the
Brawlcy Legion arena last night
when each Of the four bouts ended
with one Of the contestants doing
the "shut eye' trick on the floor.
frankie Aragon Of this city took
the main event from Johnny Lee i'll
the eighth round. 1t was case of
the local boy being too fast and
clever for the little Filipino, who
was nervous throughout the course
of his first main event.
Lee managed to make good show
ing in the early part of the fight
but Aragon s speed carried him
through to vicious rallies in the sew
enth and eighth, which set Lee back.
The end came when Aragon caught
him in the wind and again on the
chin as he was dropping.
In the semi final Joe Rivers of
San Diego lot Ralph Brooks Of this
city stay the greater part Of three
rounds and then he put him away.
The local colored boys longer reach
made him look good for the initial
half of the first round, then Rivers
began to get inside it. 1t was only
question Of time, and Rivers made
it as short as he could.
Ralph Gill of San Diego stood
gainst the ropes and let Kid On
tario hit him with everything in
sight for five rounds, then the navy
boy dropped to the floor. He didn 7
hit Ontario more than two good licks
throughout the fight. Why he was
willing to stand still and absort
punishment was something that made
the cash customers wonder.
In the opener, Homer Gaines OF
this city kept his gloves closed and
slammed his way to knockout over
Joe Olivas of Brawley via the over
hand right route. Gaines looked
even better than in his fight here
last week.
A small crowd saw the scraps, bu,
fans who missed them missed 8
