The newspaper slated ' The sketches he will draw will be scenes of interest and beauty about Kearny and Arlington. Each week Mr. Brigham will choose his subject at random. The place, building or spot that interests him most at the moment, he will illustrate, presenting not alone a record of the scene, but the artist's impression of it.
