the studio. This was a landscape in shaded greens,
containing grass, trees and a little stream which
showed much depth of colour. A number of jars
and vases were also from Mr. Volkmar’s studios
at Metuchen. The Misses Maud and Elizabeth
Mason were represented in the pottery class by
some beautiful jugs in overglase painting of mono-
tone design. A fine collection of plates and cups
were from the studio of Mrs. Anna B. Leonard.
The patterns on these were of conventionalised
nature forms, the character of the object patterned
being well kept in working out the design. A little
border of tree forms was in pale green, and a
flower design was delicately worked out in gray.
Newcombe College, at New Orleans, showed a
collection of pieces in its well-known distinct styles.
Eighteen large and small jugs and jars with plates,
cups, teapots, pitchers and other articles of house-
hold use showed the deeply indented lines, which
is a characteristic feature of the school, outlining
charming nature forms. A very large jar had long
lily leaves, trailing
up from its base,
and lilies and
leaves, large
petaled flowers,
long grasses and
other graceful
forms were the
decorations.
A representative
collection came
from the Poillion
Pottery, of New
York. Mr. Charles
Binns, of Alfred,
showed a number
of jars of graceful
forms and delicate
colours, from the
New York School
of Ceramics. Miss
Caroline Van Brig-
gle, of Colorado
Springs, made a
good display of her
beautiful work.
Some odd-looking
lanterns in white
porcelain and
some peculiar
looking vases -were
from the school of
the Young

Women’s Christian Association in New York.
Several striking pieces, one of an odd design, of
horses, and with a peculiar finish, were shown as
the work of Russell Crook. Miss Edna Walker
and Miss Hoagland were also exhibitors.
In metals, from the Buske and Deady studios at
Bedford, N. Y., and New York City, came platters,
bowls, jars and other objects in both hammered
and repousse brass and copper. A round brass
tray, with firm handles, showed beautifully fine
hammered work. A copper box was of good outline
and ornamentation, and there were also candle-
sticks and jars of beautiful forms. The Jarvie
Shop, of Chicago, had a display of fine brass work,
its “spun candlesticks,” of which there were
several pairs, being particularly graceful and slen-
der in form. Miss Caroline Ogden, of Milwaukee,
was another exhibitor of fine metal work in bowls
and trays.
Several workers in metal castings displayed
their products. In these the model is first formed
