treatment; Mr. Adolphe Borie a portrait of Dr. T.
W. Holland, evidently true to life; and praise
must be given to the portrait of Mrs. H. M. Howe,
by Mr. Lazar Raditz.
Mr. William M. Chase contributes a portrait of
James C. Carter, Esq., painted in his usual skilful
style; and in no work is sureness of method
with ability in depicting types of humanity better
shown than Mr. Chas. Hawthorne’s Two Fisher-
men. M. Jean McLane’s Gi?-l in Gree?i, warm in
colour, holds one’s attention as a strong work ;
and Miss Mary Cassatt’s Children Playing with a
Cat is equally interesting as a colour scheme and
as a study in values. Mr. Joseph de Camp shows
The Blue Cup, a beautiful piece of figure painting.
Mr. Gari Melchers in his genre picture, lent by
Dr. George Woodward and entitled The Morning
Room, is quite up to his usual form ; as is Mr.
Wm. M. Paxton in Tea Leaves. Charming effects
in the way of landscape painting are obtained by
Mr. Henry Golden Dearth. The Landing Stage,
by Mr. W. Elmer Schofield, as a piece of realism
has no equal in the collection ; and Mr. Daniel
Garber, in Hills of Byram, reflects great credit
upon the training he received as a pupil of the
Academy. Mr. Paul King’s contributions, Along
the Wissahickon, beautiful in colour, and A Cool
Retreat, also very mellow in tone, should be especi-
ally mentioned. The picturesque effect of a snow
storm upon the usually commonplace surroundings
of Sherman Square, Hew York, is delightfully
rendered by Mr. D. Putnam Brinley Mr. Willard
Metcalf has some capital landscapes on view—one
entitled Lee Bound is especially clever; and Mr.
Edward W. Redfield has some good winter scenes.
A curious work, unique in its way and in a class
by itself, is Mr. Winslow Homer’s Right and Left,
giving with wonderful keenness of observation the
effect of the discharge of both barrels of a
hunter’s fowling-piece. Mr. Joseph T. Pearson’s
Geese is extremely good in drawing and natural in
action, and forms a highly decorative piece of work.
The display of sculpture while not as large as
usual, yet deserves the careful attention of the
“the landing stage”
