Reuben Nakin, who a few years ago, it will be remembered, did a huge wooden statue of "Babe Ruth" and a series of portraits in wood of President Roosevelt and Member of his official "family," New Dealers all, is represented here by a rather clumsy figure, life size, in pink marble, of a calf; while from Robert Laurent comes a pigeon in alabaster; from Hunt Dietrich, through the present owner, Mrs. Parmelee, two "Fighting Goats" in bronze; from Cornelia Van A. Chapin a "Pelican in Repose" in Grek mable, besides, very small, and "stylized" a "Boar" and a "Sow" by Herbert Hazeltine, in gold colored bronze, lent by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Garrett of Baltimore. 
Of interest to many will be a head of Ahron Be-Shmuel, in bronze by Richard Davis, and a head by Ahron Ben Shmeul of a "Pugilist," in black granite, the latter given recently to the Museum of Modern Art in New York by Nelson A. Rockefeller. Between the man and his work there seems to be, in this instance, extraordinary dissimilarity.
