concluded a year’s study at the Zoological Gardens

particularly pleased with his Elephant, reproduced
on page 239, his Giraffe, and his Yaks.
etcher, Mr. Frank Brangwyn. Mr. Barker’s con-
tribution to the Salon was the etching reproduced
on page 234, Château Gaillard, drawn with quite
remarkable assurance and a great feeling for light
and shade.
I must not leave the
subject of the Salon d’Au-
tomne without drawing
attention to the admirable
drawings by Milcendeau,
who has for some years
been an absentee from our
exhibitions; a masterly
etched portrait of the Presi-
dent of the Salon, M. Frantz
Jourdain, by Besnard ; also
to some very powerful land-
scapes of the Dolomites by
M. Jeanès, who has found
his favourite sketching
ground in this region of
strange geological forma-
tions. Nor must I omit to
mention a young artist of
much promise among the
foreigners, Mr. Anthony

In going through the picture galleries I was struck
by the excellent works of Chigot (scenes in the
parks), delicate impressions of autumn viewed by
the painter’s infinitely sensitive eye ; a charming
portrait by Belleroche, who is making for himself
quite a reputation as à painter of women ; a large
portrait by Simon Bussy ; some dazzling pastels of
Chéret ; landscapes by Chénard-Huché (of thé
two reproduced the first has been bought for the
Luxembourg) ; Dagnac Rivière, Dezaunay, Diriks,
Dufrénoy (V enetian scenes),
Gropéano ; a female por-
trait by Ch. Guérin,
which was much admired ;
some vigorous sketches by
Hochard, flower pieces by
Lopisgich, excellent studies
by Morérod, landscapes by
Ranft, and water-colours by
Drésa. All these formed
a charming ensemble which
made one forget the crowd
of mediocre works throng-
ing the walls.
M. Bernheim, the younger, has re-opened his
gallery on the Boulevard de la Madeleine with a
collection of some choice work of the late lamented
Toulouse-Lautrec, while M. Druet has inaugurated
a new gallery in the Rue Royale with an exhibition
of pastels by K. X. Roussel.
A new society has just been formed in Paris
under the name of the Société de la Gravure
