About every winchester rifle owned in Omaha has been shipped to the scene of the Carl Smith and Charlie Cressy Indian war, 50 say the gun dealers, John Petty, Joe Langdon, S. W. Campbell and John Page are anxious to shoot any four men in the state a rifle match, 100 feet, with 22 rifle, for any reasonable stake. This is theseason when prize fighters sit around the saloon stove and tell how they knocked out the Spider, the Mouso or the Chicken in so many rounds a couple of years ago The Omaha gun club again failed to get off theiv decisive shoot on Thanksgiving day. If this fine weather continues, however, there are hopes that the two sides may yet come together. Denver’s new athletic club asks an initia- tion fee of $0, and as there are nearly one thousand on the membership list, it is safe to rank that the Colorado city is O. K. in a sporting sense. The Twin City athletic club of Minneapolis is fishing for both the Cal. McCarthy-George Dixon and the Pete McCoy-Plack Pearl fights, Hero's a great opportunity for the South Omaha club. Gunuers may at last make up their minds that they will see but precious little wild fowl shooting for the balance of the fall. Despite all signs tho season has been an ex- ceptionally poor one, Tommy Miller, the ex-Omahog, only lasted three roends before Tommmy Warren at New Orleans the other night. As Tue Bee pre- vlousl{ remarked Miller is not in sight with men of Warren's calibre. John S, Barnes, late of St. Paul and later of Spokane, is to be made manager of the new Portland athletic chib. Barnes is an old fighter himself, and is more at home among pugilists than ball players, The University foot ball team of Lincoln is nmloubtcdl{l the champion team of the state. The game they put up hers Thanksgiving day was of a superior order. The Young Krens Christian association was in it, but that was all, The wrestlers—Quinn, McMahon, Temple, Christol, the Jap and the whole faking outfit —have left by the gravel train route. Their exhibitions here were of the order that would h;va made Pollux take to the woods in shame. J. H. Dumontand_Howard Clarke spent the week past with E. S, Clarke at Satonie, this state, They put in the bulk of the timé in the stubbles and corn fields and bagged in the neighborhood of three hundred quail and chicker The Godfrey-Smith fight, which the South Omaha club’ offered & purse of §,000 for, would have been an unsatisfactory inyest: ment. Swith disappointed every one and was & mere plaything in the hands of the dex- trous darkey, Wilbur ¥, Kuvapp, who is undoubtedly the fastest long distance bicycle rider in the world, wants to come to Omaha and give Ned Reading, Jack Prince or any of the other chnm]:iuuahlp claimers a chase.” Witbur will not lack backers if such a ruce is made. Jim §. McCord, one of Omaha’s old time sports, is un the lookout's pedestal in Jack Dempsey’s saloon in Seattle, Wash. Jim writes the sporting editor for a copy of Tk Brk containing_an account of the Lindsay- Wilkes tight. He was always a staunch be- liever in Lindsay's ability to do most any one. “Skip” Dundy and Harvey McGrew made o fine bag of quall over MoGrew's famous imported {glnwr on Wednesday last. Duudy says he intends to use buck shot on quail after this, as No. 9s don't go fast enough, and yet he grassed twelve birds outof eighty- six shots, Pretty good for an old fleld shot, wasn't it? H.T. Clarke, Chat Redick and Bert Cooke putinThanksgiving day down below Bellevue chasing wolves, They had a pack of seven- teen hounds owned by Mr. Clarke and re- ported athrilling time. The first wolf bagged was a rabbit, and the second, some farmer's house cat, which had a brass collar round her neck, beaving hievoglyphics, showing that she came to this country on the Mayflower. Des Moines and St. Joe sporting men are anxious to see Jimmy Lindsay and Billy Hawkins matched. They say they will guarantee the South Omaha club an attend- ance of 200 at one V a head if they will hang up apurse and bring about a mill between these two men. Des Moines will back Haw- kins for any amount, while the St. Joe sports will bank their last simoleon on thé Omaha boy. ‘The Octogon club, with headquarters at 1723 Capitol avenue is a booming institution.

Jack Prince is at the head of a colisoum enterprise at Denver, and the press down there is extremely enthusiastic over the scheme. The News says: The space will be large enough for horse shows and fat stock shows, and even if Barnum'’s circus came to town it could be scen there as well as in Mad- ison Square Garden, New York, Buffalo Bill might come with his Wild West and not exhaust the resources of the Colisoum. And when the lovers of athlotic sports—pedestri- anism, sprinting, wrestiing, foot ball, polo, roller skating, lawn tennis, bicycling and what-not—wanted a place for exhibitions and matches, Denver could offer them accommo- dations that could not be equalled in the United States, not even in Madison Square garden. The building could be made hand- some with §200,000 and could be made te pay a large interest on the investment, Questions and Answers.

Of course, full court dress must be worn by tho ladies; the gentlemen either wear their court dress or the Windsor uniform, which is really an ordinary dress coat, faced and cuffed with red silk, and adorned with gilt buttons in- stead of the ordinary black ones. The guests assemble beforchand in a wait- ing-room; at Balmoral this is called the ante- room, but at Windsor the grand corridor is used for this purpose. They ra: them- selves in two rows, says The Lady, the ladies on one side and tho gentlemen on the other, and the persons of higher rank are pl Aurthest from the door at which the queen will enter. About 9 o'clock the queen ap- irs, and when she has received the salu- tions of her guests she passes down be- tween the two rows to the doorof the state dining-room, and straight in to dinner. The guests join In couples and follow her. During dinner thereis very little talking. The guests couverse among themselves in whispers, for it_is not according to etiquotto to speah loud. From time to time the quecn speaks to some one of hgn guests; but as it is not proper to disagree with her, there is naturally not very much done in the way of conversation between hér' majesty and her subjects. Dinner usually lasts for an hour or o, after which the whole party adjourns to the drawing-room. Heve the queen makes a fow remarks to emhuflxen in turn, which the latter reply to suif and without the smallest trace of originkity. This ended, the queen retires to her private apartments and the diu rty Is ended.

An Artist's Tribute to the Notable Works in the Omaha Exhibit, HARMONIOUS ~ COLOR. A STUDY OF John Malvany Writes of the Good, Bad, Indifferent and Glorious Canvasses in the Steele Building. On Saturday, the 22d inst., the most re- markable exhibition of paintings that has ever been opened to the public west of the Missourl river invited the attention of the citizens ~f Omaha. It {s an exhibition voluminous in numbers and supreme in ex- celleuce, with a few exceptions. The building selected for the exhibition, at Thirteenth and Harnoy streets, is probably the best that could be obtained for the purpose in Omaha, and yet is the worst for that purpose. 1t was built and used for a wholesala grocery house for many years, and it has in every part not merely the suggestion but the grime of com- mercial use. Countless packages of gro- ceries that have left their stain everywhero had passed through its portals, aud the ghost- like edifice seemed doomed to silence and its memory of grease, The rubb‘n% of Aladdin’s lamp, however, transformed it into a palace of artistic won- der, and the chaos of groceries and troubles of our daily existence are forgotten in bric-a- brac, good, bad, indifferent and glorious can- vases, as we wander for hours through this improvised Aladdin’s palace, © canvases of great size in this remark- able exhibition, and which command the vis- itor's first. attention from the color blotches and historic poetical composition, are the copies of Gustav Dore's masterly originals, now fn the Dore gallery in Now Bond street, London., Jesus, the simple and beautiful character, has been the theme for ages; the great poets, the groat painters, the great'sculptors of the past have beon lns{:lml to do their greatest work by their faith in the simple and God- like Christ, Mighty cathedrals, whose spires reach heavenward with their infinite wealth of tracery, sprung, as ‘twere, from earth, through the belief of man that Christ was the Son of God. The organ was invented as an aid to worship, and the greatest composers of the modern age wrote their holiest ora- torios and soul-thrilling masses for those won- aerful edifices. The world was thrilled into a profound belief, through tongue and pen through paint and stone, that this inspire n('r;unnge was none other than the Son of God, ‘This great ceutral figure in the world’s his- tory was crucified, as we all know, Caivary did not witness such a cruc Jesus as these canvasses exhibit, The draw- ing of the head of what they call Christ in one of these pictures is monstrusly bad, The “Christ Before Pilate” in Muncackzy’s groat picture is the Christ of history, of calm tre- mendous force, but these beastly copies of Dore's leslfirg‘cm resent Christ to us as a personage without force and as one who could only have sustained life by suction for the malformation in drawing precludes the idea that he even could have eaten as other men. There are a few other wretchedly drawn and badly painted canvases presented in this collection, with splendidly -painted eems sundwiched between them. Instinctively, however, the visitors to the gallery are enthralled in the meshes of the greater works and they are hield by the witchery of pain, where genius aud splendid education in art gives it mental direction, Among the notable works to be seriously neglected in anything of a critical mood and which give color to the hundreds of smaller plctures, gems of the wost artistic weaving and worthy of a place iuany homoin fair America, is mumber 850, H. Humphrey Moore's *Japanese Musician.”” This is oue of the daintiest bits of color on the coutinent, by any American artist, living or dead. H. llum‘mnruy Moore is o deal mute, an Ameri- can, liviow in Paris, who is marvied toa charmiye Speuish besuty of Madrid, He e e g e e was apupil and friend of the lamented For- turry, oneof the most illustrious of modern painters This picture of Moore’s s more daring in technique, s color than Beauger. i of y pur tones, brilliant in the draperies of and 'such kuowledge of delicate shading in the half tones that only the eve of taste and the finest feeling for color could hay background and cleverly painted acc: are something to be remembered by painters who would emu- late this study of harmonious color. Alongsido to the left1s alittie sunset with- out a number, but bearing the signature: Bruce Krane, which is great as a bit of broad harmonious _painting. It should be owned in Omaha, Near these masterpieces hangs a pretentious Bridgman, 368, entitled “Femines d'Algiers au Cime- taine.” which is remarkable for its ser lack of study. wood composition and breadth of treatmer the flesh is shaky, hard, and tho drawing of fingers and_toes shows a carelessness that is uot excusable in comparison with other works of his in this collection. Bridgman is a noted American painter, living in Paris, who was a pupilof Geromoand has distiuguished him- self only asan apt absorber of that great painter’s style of composition and manner- Isms, without one sciutilla of his genius, In contrast with No, 368 may bo mentioned 240, the bey of Constantine réceiving guests, another picture by the same painter, which in all respects is very beautiful in_ composi- tion, neatly and elogantly drawn, charmingly lighted, with admirable perspective, full of architectural detail and altogether a work quite worthy of Gerome, Hero is Van Mark, No. 187, “Cattle,” a wonderfully clever pleture, with all | his strength, breadth and massive painting—cat- tlo that’ live and without the conventional composition which all the cattle painters of England and their American imitators have adopted and established as a vule in this line of painting. The simplicity in composition of this picture shows what a deep thinker this great cattle painteris. Tho drawing, foreshortening and painting of these cattle are, if that wore possible, beyond anything which Van mark has ever done. Scattered through the background are a few groups of cattle and & few masterly touches of light and color that thurmluhliv ustain the groups in the foreground, The iandscape is wet, the sky somewhat stormy and yet the scrubby trees are cut in so sharply agaiust the clouds and sky that they do not belong to the wet landscape or the clondy sky. Itis an artist's trick to throw in sharp touchos like these distant trees for effect and sometimes to strengthen a foreground, but air should al- ways permeate the landscape of the artist, as it does the landscape of nature, No, 213 reveals a George Washiugton, This picture is entitled “Start for the H Algeria,”” Mr, Washington is living in 1 0 also is the inimitable, illustrious S Mr. Washington is '@ close cop Schreyor and_affects his style as Bridgman does that of Gerome, They are not living very far apart in Pavis, This picture is vory glenslng u color, but lacking in that fine rawing and intelligent modeling which make Schreyer's canvases almost_priceless, and shows the painter George Washington to be as far removed from the artist whom he imitates as he is chronologically from tho great man whose name he bears, On the owposite wall is a picture by Fiameng, *“Target Practico at Dieppe.” This is one of those rare pic tures that is incidentally met with in a genera- tion. The grouping of the figures, notably on the higher ground in thevicinity of the artist who is sketching, is unsurpassed in mod- ern genre painting. Tne female figure re- clining on the grass aud the one with the par- asol sltting by her side, with all the nonchi lence of a Parisian belle, the grouping of the figures aboye the artist, looking on so curi- ously, the littie tot of a child and her parent, are all so admirably done, both in technique and color thut they will live forall time as choice bits amoug the great canvass, There is considerable distance between the figures on the higher ground and those shooting at a target on the lower ground, and this aistance is admirably drawn in the perspoctive of the picture, whilo the grouping in both iustances s in the highest degroe artistic. The walls of the old fortress of Dieppe built of bric riso into the blue aiv above, The ono sing lar mar to this otherwise great pieture, is the razor-like sharpuess of the turrets, wails and gubles against the sky. Number 209, “Oasls at Biscra," Algiers, by us Though containing light, is an immensely clever picture, wor g discussed at lougth and worthy of any coll Leon Perrault’s +‘Mother Watching Her Sleeping Child” is sohung and lighted that in absence of number it arrests the attention of —every visitor who ascends the staivs, Kvery sturdy father, every tender loving mother will halt and stand in fervent admiratian before the theme of mother-love painted on this canvas. The painting mand drawing of this picture need no_criticism fromanyoue. The artist has so painted this work that the child isin a semi-transpavent shade and the mother, with table, window sill and flowers ave in full light so deftly in woven as hardly to be noticed by the casual observers, Failiers and mothers of Omaha should see this excellent picture, with others like it in this great collection. The child is 4 poom, the mother is devotion personified, Bierstadt has painted a few very fine con- vases, His *“Yosemite Valley” was, artisti- cally, the greawest he has painted. It had breadth of handling and strong, glorious color. It was full of nature and a delightful poem. Flis ast. of the Buffalo,”” a cen- tralized figure in this collection, is one of its most remarkable features, Not from tho standpoint of the grestest painting, but cause there areso fow American artists the higher class who have painted distine- tively Aterican subjects. And he who at- temyts anything of an ambitious character in that field and paints it in o way com- mensurate with the elements of great art should be commended to his countrymen and sustuined by voice and pen. Not from the fact that he is an American, but because he can produce & work with ideéas and poetio imagimation equal to the grandeur of his sub- jeet. This picture is called “The Last of the Buffalo,” aud yet there are countless thou- sands of these noble beasts shown in the pic- ture, from those strongly individualized in the foreground to those dimly suggested in the baze of distance. The dramatic ele- mentof the work isa rampant steed being gored by a furious bull, while the Indian rider is in the act of spearing his game, There is great and picturesque power in this group. Noone who looks at the picture can have any doubt as to the outcome of the en- counter. The splendidly formed pony is on the horns of the bull, aud the noble creature will be & disemboweled thing of the past in & littie while, and_possibly the suaky Indian will be astride of the buffato, L. l'Hermitte, a strong painter of French veasants, with' sabots on, who has a very ugly but powerfully pained picture in the Luxembourg, Paris, is ropresented in this collection by another pieturo as ugly in form but as strong- ly panted, called “The Haymakers, It is realistic to a degree, broad and splen- didly painted and masterly in drawing. Tne especially strong feature of the picture is the peasant ‘repairing his scythe, There is ab- solutely nothing better, if’_anything so good, in thowhole collection. The brawny arms with muscles standing out like whip cords and the earnest, ruggod face present a won- derful study of nature, Spring with its showers, its flowers and its beauties is represented most exquisitely by Bougereau in a matehless uude female figure, seeniingly awakening from a long slumber iuto a new life, into o newer incarnation, Beautifully drawn, exquisitely und tenderly painted, oce fecls that this Young creaturo anew soul embalmed within her which has boen kissed into life by the most teader lips—the ideal of love, und summoned by Cuplids which float on’ wings, throwing an aurcole around the awalkening of this lovely suggostion of the most charming of ®ll the seasons.
