few notable exceptions, were ot very mediocre
quality. As usual, Mr. James Morrice's exquisite
canvases attracted chief attention, and it is satis-
factory to note that this distinguished Canadian
artist, whose high attainments have so long been
recognised and honoured by competent judges
abroad, is now beginning to be appreciated at his
true value in Canada, and the competition among
collectors here to acquire specimens of his work
has lately become keen. The Dow Prize of
two hundred dollars for the best oil painting
in the exhibition was awarded to Mr. Maurice
Cullen for his Phillip's Square, Montreal, here
reproduced. This prize was won in a previous
year by Mr. Morrice, who was consequently
debarred from again competing.
Another important exhibition held recently was
that of the Canadian Art Club at Toronto. Many
of the pictures shown here had, however, been
previously exhibited at Montreal on the occasion
of the Royal Canadian Academy Exhibition last
November, and among others, Mr. Horatio Walker's
Woman Milking, here reproduced. The appeal of
the original is in its luminous atmospheric qualities,
and the well-observed rendering of the beautiful
effect of early dawn in spring-time. H. M. L.

exercises were held at the Carnegie
Institute, at Pittsburgh, on April 27,
with Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the donor, as
the principal guest and the president of Harvard
University as the chief speaker. The names of the
artists awarded prizes in the Fourteenth Annual
International Exhibition of Oil Paintings, which
was opened with a private view on April 26,
were announced. The Gold Medal, carrying with
it an award of one thousand five hundred dollars,
was awarded to Mr. John W. Alexander, of New
York, for his painting entitled Sunlight; the Silver
Medal, carrying with it an award of one thousand
dollars, to Mr. Frank Craig for his Portrait of Sit
Toh?i Jar dine, K. C.I.E., M.P. ; and the Bronze
Medal, carrying with it an award of five hundred
dollars, to Mr. Algernon Talmage for his painting
entitled The Kingdom of the Winds. Honourable
mention was awarded to Gaines Ruger Doneho,
New York, for A Garden; to Alice Fanner,
Datchet, England, for Sea Bathing, St. Valery on
the Somme; to Joseph T. Pearson, jr., German-
town, U.S.A., for Ducks in a Marsh; and
to Giovanni Battista Troccoli, Newton Centre,
U.S.A., for a Portrait of Mrs. Brinkerhojf. The
