"Walter W Smith, Jr., has sent two of his works to the Exposition of Independent Artists of New York, entitled) "Love's Walk" and "Creek Bridge"; these two canvasses posses remarkable and indeed unique qualities; their construction is solid, their design vigorous; beautifully harmonized coloring, delightful proportion, a fine exception of light and atmosphere distinguish them; the workmanship is excellent and entirely original. These are pictures-of excellent conception, of execution at the same time delicate and robust, and pictures which betray a noble artistic fervor.
It is of especial interest to note that one of these pictures, "The Creek Bridge is a painting of the stone bridge over the Conococheague Creek one mile west of town along the Mercersburg state road. Smith has painted a large number of pictures of local scenes which will be exhibited if arrangements can be satisfactorily made, for the benefit of the townspeople and visitors during ' Old Home Week".
