BReam’s Exhibit at O’Brien’s—Other Pictures—Academy Notex, Etc. “There is now on exhivition at O'Brien's Art Gallery on Wabash avenue, néar Adams strect, a collection of paintings worthy the attention of the connoisseur and the art student. The main feature of the display is a collection of some twen- ty paintings from skill Jife,—mostly fruit pieces, =fromthe easelof C. P. Ream, a local artist, who has of late been doing some excellent work. The fruit pieces are mostly studies of grapes and peaches, though in some of the paintings are introduced bric-a-brac figures and other accessories. The smaller pictures are dainty and very pleasing. ‘The grapes, pane and berries have the bloom and dew of Nature. The pi¢ce de resistance, a large fruit study, is on the whole less satisfactory than its smaller companions. Not that any fault can be found with the drawing. The grapes and ‘peaches are beautifully modeled; bat in the andling of color, the uttempt to introduce 2 cold white light—thus necessitating a very high key—hus destroyed the churm that the picture would otherwise possess. ‘Lne effect is somewhat startling, but it has at the same time materially “decreased the valuc of the painting as a work of art. The gems of the collection are “Rasp- berries” and “Honey in the Comb.”* : Alandscape by George Inness is remarkable for its broad and vigorous treatment. A range of tree-clad hills in the distance, a Httle bit of Dottom Jand and a stream in the foreground constitute the picture. Simple it is Indeed. There are no tours de furce, no technical “twists” for effect. It is a transcription ot Nature in one of its most peacetul moods. The aunospherie effect is wonderful.

The troubles created by the contlict of the trotting circuits in Michigan, which it was at one time thought would be amicably settled, ve broken out with greater violence thun “ever, and war has been declared on both sides, It will be remembered that the original difficulty was brought about by the alleged unfairness of the Juckson Association in its dealings with De- troit and Grand Rapids, the last-mentioned place having been left out of the circult formed some two months ago by Jackson, Toledo, Suginaw, and Battle Creek. The waragainst Jackson was begun by Cupt. Owen, Secretary of the Detroit Jockey Club, who began by sending senseless messnges to Don Robinson, Secretary of the Jyekson track, which Association has done more for. tho promotion of trotting than Detroit ever can or will. From the first it was seen that the meetings at Detroit and Jackson would clash, and Capt. Owen declared that his Associn- tion would charge no entry fee and would offer $10,000 in purses. As nothing has been said hitely nbout the question of entrance, it is presumed that horsemen will not be obliged to pay for the privilege of competing for the purses offered at Detroit. Ameeting of those interested in the anti- Jackson circuit was held at Detroit list Wednes- day, the trucks at Adrian, Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, lon, Grand Rapids, and Fort Wayne being represented. Of course there was a Vast amount of talk indulged in, each delegate being anxious to flourish his little tomahawk and defy the Jackson Association and all its works. Ench man told glowing wles of how all the noted ho in the country were coming to partici in the meetfrigs of the Michigun Grand Central ‘Trotting Ci hich is the imposing title of the new organization. They all spoke contident- ly of the large number of éntries that would be received, culmly ignoring the fact that the tracks composing the other circuit. arc old and well-established ones, and that their officers are men of fur greater experience than the bucolic gentlemen whorun the fair rings in more re- thote parts of the State. € The result of the meeting was the adoption of the following dates for the meeting: Adrisn— May 25 to 23. Detroit—Junel to 4. Pontinc— June $ toll. Flint—June 15 to 18, lonia—June 2to2%. Grand Rapids—June 29 to July 2. Fort Wayne—July 5 to 9. In regardto the Grand Rapids dates, it may be said that there is no certainty as to whether or not that Association will join the circuit, but themecting appointed a committee of three to lubor with the backsliding members, and en- deavor to secure its pledge before it. ‘goes over entirely to the Jacksonites. ‘The amounts to be offered by the different As- ions kre as follows: Adrian, $10,000; De- $12,500; Pontiac, $8,000: Flint, $8,000; Ionia, ow; Grand Rapids, $3, ‘ort Wayne, $8,000. ul, $60,560.

She is a full sister to Brambie. Ira Holmes has sold to a gentleman of this city his gray gelding Davie, by Rice Groves, for $1,000. Yon Arnem, a horse that won the first heat of the 5-year-old race ut Louisville last spring in 2:22, will not be trotted this season. The colored jockey, James Saunders, was thrown from the colt Frank Wooley near Lex- ington recently, and seriously, but not fatally, injured. Sherwood, who won tho 4-verr-old race at Frankfort, Ky., in 1876, uequiring a record of 2:5944, has been purchased by Mr. Isaac H. Dabl- man, of New York. A chestnut colt by Whisper, out of Mattic Gross, was fonled March 8 on the furm of Hunt Reynolds, near Frankfort, Ky.,and has been appropriately named Murmur. Ferncliff, the 3-year-old_son of Leamington and Nellie Rausom, is suffering from a severe uttack of distemper, and will hardly be able to fulllll his engurements this season. Fernclitft was the property lust year of Mr. William Astor, and brought $4,800 at the recent auction sale of that gentleman's horses. 4 Aruther curiously bred mare is Lady Pruett, now years old: At 4and 5 years old Lady’ Pruett was one of the fastest young trotters in Kentucky. She is by Clark Chief, the sire of Croxie (record 2:1914), and Woodford Chief (rec- ord 2:2214), her dum being Lady Wallenstein, the dum of the J-year-old colt that is nowa member of Mr. Lorillard’s English stuble.

As nears can be ascertained, the action of the judge muiifving Parole after be had come in first for the Liverpool cup, and award- ing the race to Advance, who finished second, was not justified by the facts. It appears that Archer, who had the mount on Adyauce, nt- tempted at the finish to go between Parole and just us they were reaching the judges stand. The American horse, being tired, swerved somewhat, and it was for this it he was dis- qualified. "The matter has been taken under consideration by the Stewards of the. Liverpool meeting, and it is belleved that the race will eventually be awarded to Parole. The Stewards were Lord Coventry, Lord Sefton, Lord Marcus Beresford, W. Gerard, and Col. Forester. The London Times, in its account of the race, de- scribes the alleged foul as follows: “ When baif-way up the distance Advance tried to gct through on the rails, but there was no room, and the jockey, Archer, who rode him, had to pull round both Strathblane and Parole.

SAD CASE OF DESTITUTION. Sergeant Bartram, of the police force, recent- ly had brought to his notice a case of destitu- tion which is certainly deserving of more than passing attention. The family is that of Mrs. Peter Kelley, consisting of four children, the eldest not yet 12 years of age. For some time pust they have been buffeted about, and their present home, atNo, 562 Archer avenue, is of the most temporary character. Pride and a desire to plod along as best she could prompted Mrs. Kelley to keep her sufferings all to herself, un- {il recently, when illness overtook her family, and she was compelled to look for aid.

A New Stroke of Business Enterprise— Taking Possession of Milwaukee Av- enne. What Alexander the Great was to the ancient world of war the square-dealing and sleepless firm of Willoughby, Hill & Co. are vo the cloth- ing trade of this country. The sword of the great conqueror made him the monarch of the world, and the low prices, excellent quality, and faultless style of the goods turned out by the famous firm whose hendquarters is at tho southeast corner of Clark and Madison streets have gained for them an honorable and undisputed monopoly of trade wherever they have engaged in it. And even as Alexander's mareh of conquest brought nation after nation at his feet, until he wept that no further victory was avuilable, so do Willoughby, Hill & Co. ex- tend their operations aud bring city after city todo homage to their sleepless energy and culiarly satisfactory way of doing busitiess. How Jong it will be before they control the clothing trade of the country is, of course, lirgely a question of time; but in the meantime the suc- cessive advances towards the goul of their ambition will be watched with interest by the public. The success which bas attend- ed the firm’s business ut the corner of Madison and Clark streets has been so unprece- dented that it is not surprising they should seck to produec its counterpurt in another portion of the city.

The opening of this store will, of course, do away with the necessity of the tirm’s place on the cor- nerof Milwaukee avenue and Rucker street, which, together with their establishment in Butfalo, will be merged into the new enterprise, This combination of three successful stores into one grand emporium is - A DARING STROKE.

RUNNING SORES Interesting Account of the Healing of a Broken Leg. Messrs. Lornnors & Pinkuam, Druggists— Dear Sirs: On the 23d of August, 1877, I had the misfortune of having my leg broken, in front of William Sterns’ dry-zoods store, by a case of goods being thrown on me. The bone was set by it physician of this place. Upon removing the splints, sores broke out from my knee to the heel, and several physicians called it varicose i and ordered me to wear rubber stockings. After wearing out about $25 worth of different mnukes without any signs of any cure, I bought the Cuticuna ReMEDiEs for the purpose, as [ expressed it at the time, tobe humbugged again. Betore bait bed been used 1 was astonished to sce the sores heel up one by one, and now not. one sore is to be seen. I recommended the same to n neighboring lady who hud been troubled for years with a sore Wi After using bundreds of remedies, she is completely cured. Respect- fully yours, HENRY LANDECKER. Dover, N.
