Cherry’s work is illustrated here. Her talent
is quite remarkable.
The Elverhoj Colony, working at Milton-on-
the-Hudson, proved their efficiency in the manu-
facture of artistic jewellery, for which they gained
a gold medal at San Francisco. True associ-
ation of tones and forms lends their work a
special charm, added to which the finish is always
of the best, no raw edges, no slips of the chasing
tool and no excessive colourings. Miss Grace
Hazen’s work appears in illustration and testi-

Hosmer’s exhibit, a pin, we felt that the

Dulk’s silver tea service the work of an accom-
plished craftsman; his silver birds, too, give added
testimony. Owing to his larger interest in the
city high schools, many of the various crafts
were well represented and elicited favourable
notice and even a prize. Art metal, simple
jewellery, pottery, embroidery and leather work
testified to good training. Stuyvesant High School
displayed very creditable ironwork made by the
boys, assisted by Mr. E. Schwartzkopf.
