A Successful Exhibition

typical example, as are a pair of side wall lights
of iridescent copper, pendant flower motif, and
two of copper and brass, one suggesting the torch
and the other the tulip. Grace and simplicity are
noteworthy features of these lights.
The excellence of his jewelry and pottery bear
testimony further to this craftsman’s skill and
versatility. Lightness of touch and subtle blend-

the jewelry, while in the pottery he avoids pic-

of execution, Mr. Pond’s work, after all is con-

to his largest commission.

Institute on Sunday, June 30, brought
to an end the year’s art season in America, as the
Pittsburgh exhibition is the last of the big shows
held throughout the year.
When the doors were closed 30,517 persons had
visited the Institute to view the 348 paintings.
The largest Sunday attendance for this year was
on April 28, when 3,280 people were counted in the
galleries. An important feature of the exhibition
every year is the attendance of the school children.
This year thirty-nine different schools were repre-
sented by 1,310 pupils, accompanied by their
teachers. The various clubs of the city interested
in art proved their interest by an attendance of
