Brings Trophies Home from Europe 
Mr. and Mrs. B. Hammond Tracey 
of Cedar Acres, Wenham, have re- 
turned from their trip to England 
and the continent, bringing with 
them the silver cup awarded for ex- 
hibit of potted gladioli at the Roy- 
ale International Horticultural ex- 
hibit, in London. Mr. Tracey also 
received the diploma of honor 
signed by the Duke of Portland, 
for exhibit of cut blooms. These 
were grown under the direction of 
William Swan, Frederick Brasch 
and other Manchester gardeners. 
It is needless to say that Mr. Tracey 
values these prizes highly, for horti- 
culture abroad stands on a far high- 
er plane of appreciation than it does 
in America. This wonderful exhibi- 
tion was held under the patronage 
of their Majesties King George V., 
Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra, 
who were interested visitors sever- 
al days. It was personally managed 
and financed by the Duke of Port 
land, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Sir 
Jeremiah Coleman, Sir Harry W. 
Veitch and Sir George Holford. All 
money above expenses of the un- 
dertaking was devoted to charity. 
Dreicer & Co., of 560 Fifth avenue, 
New York, have an unusually large 
collection of jewels at their Magno- 
lia shop, in the Colonnade, this sea- 
son.

OLD DRAWINGS 
How few visitors to our National 
Museums linger over the drawings 
of the old masters! How few. of 
the thousands who apparently ap- 
preciate the canvases on the walls, 
can enthuse over the original draw- 
ings of the master! And yet these 
drawings reveal to the student, the 
artist’s mind, his striving and am- 
bition: they give an insight into his 
artistie work and they bare the 
master’s character, far more than 
his paintings do. The finished paint- 
ing shows the artist in his ‘‘recep- 
tion garb’’ bedecked with all his 
medals so to speak. His original 
drawings show him with his coat 
off, dressed in working garb, at his 
ease, following his own sweet will 
and inclination. His drawings show 
his originality, his strength or weak- 
ness: often they show how much 
freer, and less under the influence 
of his master or his school, he is 
in his drawings, compared to his 
paintings. In these old drawings 
we see a more intimate side of the 
man and his work, than any other 
form of art expression, and it is to 
be regretted that more of these al- 
most priceless relics, have not been 
acquired by collectors in the United 
States. Those of our public 
Museums who are fortunate enough 
to possess original drawings by 
great painters, such as Raphael, 
Guercino da Cento, Guido Rene, 
Boucher, Teniers, etc., are to be 
congratulated, as in consequence of 
their rarity, but few individuals can 
hope to possess them.
