TAOS.” BY O. E. BERNINGHAUS
(National Acad, of Design, N.Y.)

Quarry by Mr. Paul King, A.N.A. was a
work of accomplished technique. The
Fiesta of San Geronimo Taos by Mr. O. E.
Berninghaus, represented very effectively
an incident of life in New Mexico, and a
typical huntsman of the same region was
the subject of a painting by Mr. Herbert W.
Dunton. The wintry aspect of the woods
in February was well depicted in Sunny
Brook by Mr. Hobart Nichols, N.A. a
Historical painting, seldom seen in these
days, was represented in this collection by a
canvas, the work of Mr. John Ward
Dunsmore, entitled Captured Flags from
Yorktown presented to Congress 1781.

and perhaps for that reason not often

Waugh, N.A. (East Coast, Dominica), and
Mr. Charles H. Woodbury, N.A. (The
Green Wave), a 0 a a a
