New York January 31 The water color show is praised for wall and frame arrangement but criticized for overbearing gilt frames harming subject focus. The west gallery shines with Salamander performances and noted artists like Platt Ranger and Kappes receive comment for bold color and mood.

English Captain's Story of Bark Lydia Peschau Seizure

The steamship Andes brings as passengers the captain and ten crew of the British bark Lydia Peschau seized by Venezuela on Oct. 18. The captain was taken ill and ashore at Trinidad, while the bark, under the mate, was water short and anchored at Margarita Island. Soldiers boarded, took the mate and second mate ashore, leaving no one aboard to sail. The vessel was stripped of sails and valuables. Attempts to reclaim the bark failed. British officials and the governor of Trinidad intervened. The captain was ordered to proceed to New York, awaiting settlement.
