HILADELPHIA.—Much of the best
work produced by American artists
within the last ten years has of course
been solicited for the display at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, now open, and this
circumstance, in conjunction with the fact that the
activities of many others temporarily residing
abroad have been interrupted, caused some antici-
pation of an all-round diminution in the quality of
the One hundred and tenth Annual Exhibition of
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,
recently concluded. Yet there was assembled here
an important collection that did not seem to have
been greatly affected by these coincidences.
Four hundred and twenty-seven paintings in
oil, and over two hundred of sculpture were
exhibited by three hundred and sixty-two artists.
The Temple Gold medal was awarded by a jury
of artists to Mr. Charles W. Hawthorne for his
painting of Provincetown Fishermen; the Walter
Lippincott Prize of three hundred dollars to Mr.
William M. Paxton for his carefully elaborated
painting of a lady in a costume of emerald satin
and entitled 1875. The Jennie Sesnan Gold
Medal for the best landscape in this exhibition was
awarded to Mr. Carrol S. Tyson Jr. for his Pass
PParbour Wharves • the Carol H. Beck Gold Medal
to a Poi-trait by Mr. Charles Hopkinson ; the Mary
Smith Prize of one hundred dollars for the best
painting by a woman artist resident in Philadelphia
was awarded to Miss Gertrude A. Lambert, for her
figure subject entitled Carpet Rugs ; the George
D. Widener Memorial Gold Medal for the best
sculpture by an American citizen to Mr. Albin
Polasek for his bronze figure Aspiration.
The award of the newly established “ Philadel-
phia Prize ” offered by Edward Bok, Esq., Editor
of the “Ladies’ Home Journal” was decided by
the choice of the majority of the visitors to the
exhibition during one of the closing weeks; the
sum donated is two hundred and fifty dollars,
of which one hundred and fifty goes to the artist
and “ one hundred is to be given to the manage-
ment of the Academy to pay the tuition fees of a
deserving student or students for study in the
Schools of the Academy.” Miss Lydia Field
