lection of the gallery. In addition to the
foregoing awards the Gallery offered this
year a prize of $200, known as the “Popular
Prize/' the award to be determined by
vote of the visitors during the last week
but one of the exhibition. 0 0 0
Among figure paintings that held the
attention was Mr. Chas. W. Hawthorne's
American Motherhood, masterly in draw-
ing and with a striking colour note in the
red gown of the mother. Costume also
played an important part in the largest
canvas in the show, by Mr. Morris
Molarsky, entitled Madame Viardot, a
charming presentment of a handsome
woman in mid-Victorian attire. Miss
Mary Cassatt's Young Mother with Two
Children was a work of distinguished merit,
as was also Mr. Gari Melchers's Mother
and Child ; Mr. Wm. M. Paxton's Girl
Arranging Flowers drew much attention
on the opening night. Very unusual but
quite successful was Mr. Wayman Adams's
Old New Orleans Mammy, a fine type of
an American negress. Mr. Leon Kroll
sent a work of somewhat modern technique
in the figure of a girl In the Orchard.
Mr. Rittenberg's Kimono and Mr. Walter
Ufer's Autumn, portraying types of the
Hopi Indians, were both interesting.
Studies of the nude were few, but among
them were fine canvases by Mr. V.
Higgins and Mr. G. Gibbs. 0 0
Mr. J. S. Sargent's portrait of the
marine painter, Mr. Charles H. Woodbury,
was prominent among the essays in por-
traiture, which also included some in-
teresting work by Miss Cecilia Beaux
