The Fifty-Dollar Prize in Portrait Study Goes to Miss Katherine Riggs —Honornble Mention of Others. The modest little studio building of the Corcoran Art School was the scene yester- day of a pretty gathering of students and their friends at the usual annual awarding of prizes for excellence in drawing and painting. The drawings, chiefly from the antique and nude life, were displayed about the walls of the main studio and upstairs over the gallery annex, each competitor's exhibit being marked by a letter in the case of the drawings ard by a number in the chse-of the paintings. The judges to award the gold medal for the best drawings —Messrs. Frank Fowler, Will. H. Lowe and E. H. Blashfleld of New York—selected those bearing the letter D. The same judges, with Mr. C. H. L. McDonald and Mr. Victor G. Fischer of this city, awarded the $50 prize given by Prof. Andrews, prin- cipal of the school, to the exhibit marked 16. When these awards were looked up in the key held by the trustees’ committee it was found that the gold medal had been awarded to Miss Annie M. Hunt, the bronze medal to Miss Ella Haney, an hon- orable mention being given to the work of Miss E. V. Bering, and the $50 prize for best portrait studies from life to Miss Katherine Riggs, honorable mention being made of the studies by Miss May L. Good- ell and Miss Bertha Hanson. The Work of the School. Mr. S. H. Kauffmann of the committee from the board of trustees of the Corcoran Gallery presided and announced the result of the awards. Prof. Andrews in present- ing to the committee the envelope in which the judges had sealed their decision, made a brief address. “The work of the scholas- tic year dating from October 1, 1894, to date is before you,” said Mr. Andrews, “and must speak for itself. To you, as representative of the board of trustecs; to the public, and to those eminent artists whom we have invited here to adjudicate upon its merits. Inasmuch as the school has shown by previous reports (now upon record) a phenomenal increase in the num- ber enrolled and in average attendance from year to year, it is unnecessary to imake comparison farther back than with last year. I will therefore briefly state that the enrollment last year was 124 and the average attendance $ this year the enrollment being 150 and the average daily attendance 125 and, including night school, 151. The advancement in both attendance and improvement this year is largely due to the increased facilities for doing more advanced work by the selection by the board of trustees of Mr. Hinckley as pro- fessor of portrait painting and the estab- lishment of a class for aquarelle »y Miss Minnigerode. The results of both depart- ments are upon exhibition. As it is sel- dom that I can collect so many of the pu- pils of the school together at one time, I will crave your indulgence for a moment to quote a few words from probably the greatest, certainly the most many-sided and universal, in his study of nature of all living painters—Sir John Everett Mil- lais of England. I quote, and believe the quotation to be true, without any dispar- agement to any teachers in schools of arts, but which, if true, must increase the honor and respect in which we should all hold the memory of Mr. W. W. Corcoran. Words of a Great Artist. “Mr. Millais said years after his gradua- tion at the Royal Academy, ‘The advantage of a teacher is very small. Students gain more from each other. Some are superior to others, and those who are inferior in ability learn from those who are better than themselves. The teaching which they get among themselves is infinitely more helpful than that they can get from any teacher. I think you give a student every- thing he wants when you give him the means of study. I do not think that edu- cation will make an artist. Lectures upon painting I think of no use. I think that practical lectures upon anatomy and per- spective are of use. But lectures upon painting, unless delivered by a painter, who would be able, practically, to do something before the student, are of no use. Know edge must be gained by the student him- self before it becomes of practical use.’ “I happened upon this quotation only a week ago, and yet this last requirement of Sir John has been the motive and practice of your teachers here. We have drawn and painted with various material, and from all imaginable models, and we leave the result to your fudgment. The artists who have been so kind as to come here at certainly great personal inconvenience and loss of valuable time are in the roll of the most eminent in the land. They have, after long and arduous deliberation, made their awards, and the result is in this sealed envelope addressed to your honors.” After the announcement of the awards the floor was cleared, and the audience gave itself up to the enjoyment of the drawings and paintings,all of which display great merit and promise. —_—-—__ AMUSEMENTS. “A Celebrated Case."—When the curtain arose on the first act of “A Celebrated Case” last night at the Academy of Music an audience that filled the house in every | part was in attendance, and the members of the Geraldine Dramatic Club and their many friends can be congratulated upon the success, both artistically and finan- cially, of the performance. The play was given for the benefit of the proposed new hall at Gonzaga College. The boxes were draped with the papal and Irish flags, mingled with the American colors. Occu- pying the seats therein were delegates from the Catholic and Georgetown univer- sities and Gonzaga and St. John’s coileges, also Mgr. Gillon of Mexico, Mgr. Sbaretti, Dr. Rooker of the papal legation, Drs. Schroder and Perier of the Catholic Unt- versity, Fathers Dougherty and O'Connor of St. Stephen’s, Brother Fabrician of St. John’s, Rector Gillespie and Fathers O’Con- nell and Dolan of Gonzaga College. The play was given a most favorable pre- sentation and was enthusiastically received by the audience. Mr. Matthew Halloran, in the role of Jean Renaud, gave a finishe portrayal of the principal character. The others in the cast gave conscientious and commendable support to the leading role and rounded out the play in a most en- joyable manner. The following p made up the remainder of the cast Ryan, who played the Duke with an easy grace and finish; Edward Baker, T. M. Hardy, W. H. Conley, who, as always, was excellent; Miss Kate Halloran, Mrs. Mary Miss May Ryan, Mr Mary Howard. The cadets from the-college supplied the soldiery, and the M ne band Orchestra, under Prof. Fanciulli, furnished the excellent music. St. Margaret’s Festival—What promises to be a most delightful affair will occur on June 1 at “Oak Lawn,” the residence of Mrs. E. C. Dean, at the head of Connecti- cut avenue. A lawn fele has been ar- ranged for by committees appointed by the various Episcopal churches of the city for the beaefit of the proposed Church of St. Margaret. The beautiful site for this chureh, which Is a short distance beyond Florida avenue and in the central line of Connecticut avenue, has, through the gen- erosity of those interested, been secured, and it is hoped that the proceeds from this effort will materially assist in the erection of a chapel. The building committee is ex- pecting to break ground at an early date, and hopes to have it finished by the fall. The need for 3uch a church fs so conspic- uous that it is hoped tha, many will be in- terested in this endeavor and lend the en- couragement of their presence on Satur- day next, from 5 until 8 p.m. The commit- tees, composed of the more prominent la- dies from the parishes interested, have pre- pared supper and refreshment tables and music for the occasion. An admission fee of only ten cents will be charged, and all who are interested in promoting so good a cause, and helping to meet so pressing a need, are expected to attend. Miss Blanche Walsh, the leading lady of the Frederic Bond Company, is at the Ar- lington. She will make her first appear- ance with the company next Monday. HAVE YOU SMOKED TOO MUcH?

Prof. Gore Read a Paper on the Plantin Museum. The regular monthly meeting of the Washington Library Association was held at the Columbian University last evening. Mr. W. H. Lowdermilk presided. An inter- esting paper on the Plantin Museum at Antwerp was read by Prof. J. H. Gore. Prof. Gore stated that at the time the Luilding was first occupied, in 1556, Plantin was one of but four printers in Catholic Europe. The building was occupied by him as a printing office, and today the building, full of the tools and works of Plantin, is one of the most interesting points of travel. In 1567, said Prof. Gore, Piantin formed a publishing company, and as the business rapidly grew, he became its editor, man- uscripts being few. One of his productions was a Bible, in five languages, and it is a remarkable fact, explained Prof. Gore, that many of the characters used then in marking corrections on proof sheets are still in use. All the tools, type ard other implements of the trade were manufactured in the buitding, and five years ago, upon the occa- sior of an erniversary, a souvenir pro- gram vas printcd in the museum from the old type and upon an old press used by Plantin. No Jess an artist than Rubens de- signed many of the frontispieces, initials end cuts used by Plantin. The museum contains about 1,500 copies of the books pul lished during Plantin’s lifetime, and the sale recm is preserved intact. The magis- trate fixed the prices of ‘the books, and either underselling or overcharging was punishable by fine in Plantin’s time. Gen. A. W. Greely, from the ccmmittee on the prcposed public library, submitted an oral report. So far, he said, the contribu- Yons amounted to about $10,500, although no systematic effort had been yet made in the matter. The board of trade favored the establish- ment of the library, stated Gen. Greely, but the board of trade thought that when $100,000 shall have been contributed Con- gress would step in and do the rest. He could not so agree, nor could he agree with the board of trade that the opening of the library now or at an early date would lead to ill success in the matter of soliciting either private or congressional aid.
