n ^ARIS.—The third exhibition of the Societe
D ^ Moderne shows a marked advance on
the former shows of this group of foreign
and French artists. Among the former,
F. de Yturrino, the Spanish painter, has power as

Mr. Faulkner, the American, has some poetical
studies of twilight in Venice; while Mr. Spicer

studies very vigorously
treated. M. Houbron's
views of Paris are, as usual,
