THE EXPOSITION.
IT WILL OILN TO-HAV.
There has hcou very* liltlo prefatory nourish
about Uio third Inter-State Kxpohitlun, to bo
opened this evening. Thoio has not Leon any
energy expended this season In tooting anything
or anybody In connection with the affair, bat
there has been a vast deal of quiet, effective
work in tho right direction, which will toil. Tho
result id that tho Exposition for this year will
ho as decided an improvement npou that of last
year as the latter was over tho first exhibition.
It ia not intended to convoy tho impression that
tho firm ono was a failure. On tho contrary,
considering tho rapidity with which tho con
ception was followed by the execution of the vast
project; that tho huge building.') had to he
planned and erected ; that tho enterprise wan a
novel one. tho success of which manv pooplo
seriously doubted, the exhibition of 1373 wait a
great sqccobes. But as a representative exposi
tion of tho industries, resources and products,
manufactures and arts of tho Northwest, it foil,
not short of what was expected, but short of the
design of the projectors. The display in the
Art Department was meagre; thcro wbhuo repre
sentation in tho Department of Bcicnco proper ;
end the arrangements for tho displays in tin
several department* wore found to be far fron
complete.
None wore so sensible of bow much it was pos
elblo to improve on what was the great exposi
tion of the Norihucatfor that year, than the
Directors themselves.
TUE ENSUING TEAR
Uiov enlarged the buildings, secured a better and
moro extensive display in ail the departments,
and with an art collection really worthy tho Ex
position, made a triumphant success.
On beginning preparations for
TUB I'REHENT EXHIBITION
tho Directors discovered that tuoir labor was not
toGocuro full representation in the several de
partments, but bow to make room for tho vast
number of exhibitors from all quarters
of tho country applying for space. iThoy
began at tho outset by the adoption
of an entirely now plan of arrangement of ar
ticles on exhibition. Tho avenues wore nar
rowed, but at tho snmo timo extended for tho
untiio length of tho building ; Uio frequent
cross-avenues wero, many of them, closed en
tirely ; and overy foot of space iu tho gallery
and on tbe main floor was carefully mapped out
so as to economize in space to the utmost.
THE RESULT
is that, while for the first year there were but
about 700, and last year abont 800, this
season spneo has boon found for a little over 2,000
exhibitors. Even that ha* proved iusudiceut,
and it is quite manifest that for an
other year further extension of tho
buildings will bo required, for such is the pres
tige already acquired by tho Inter-State Expo
sition that, with accommodations provided for
upwards of 2,000 exhibitors, between 300 and 400
applications had to bo peremptorily declined for
lack of space. And for exhibition in
TUS ART GALLERY
there have been sent bo rasa; ml paintings that,
with the increased space affordud by the six
rooms devoted to tlut department, and with tiie
utmost crowding, it has been found Impossible
to got room to hang about 100 of the pictures
that have already boon received. To this cir
cumstance is due the dolny tu the publication of
the art catalogue, which will not bo out until
Wodnosdayovonmg, though the hanging of pict
ures for exhibition was complete last night,
and the display, which will ho noted at length
in Tub Triuunb, will bo by all odds the llnost
evor made in the West. The arrangement of
tho paintings this bomod— tho works of each
artist ground—will bs found to bo a decided
improvement. Tho entries in tho art depart
ment of oil and water-color paintings alone num
ber over 800. There is also in the ort depart
ment a section devoted to architecture and de
sign, which lor artistic merit and variety has
never been equaled in this county. Besides,
the rnoroaiurnio section.
to which all the loading photographers have
contributed,JwiU be unrivaled, anti will go far to
ward establishing the claim of photography to
be reckoned among tho fine arts, if delicacy of
finish, tone, and treatment of lights and shades,
constitute a part of art.
The department of lino arts will include, be
sides tho collection of oil and water-color paint
ings, specimens of engraving on stool, wood, and
etouo, of wood-carving and terracotta work, and
of stained and embossed glass. The total num
ber of exhibitors m this department will be
about 600.
TUB DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS
Includes representations of all tho high
er industries, beginning with book- mak
ing (not authorship,—though a live poet
might bo an addition to tbo collection—
Joaquin Miller, for instance—bat printing, etc.),
and ending with electrical apparatus. In this
department there are exhibitors of mathemati
cal and astronomical instruments; of medical
and surgical instruments and appliances; of
musical instruments of all sorts; of electrical
machines, and a most extensive display of tine
work io bookbinding, vellum, printing, eto.
Thirty-six firms ate numbered among the exhib
itors In this department.
The display m tho

cation adopted by (bo Directors, there ore twen

THE ART GALLERY.
THE KIIUUTION OP AMERICAN PAINTINGS
thrown open last night to thu press ami (ho art
ists. open to-day to purchasers and to tho public
■o-night and for tho next four weeks, is in every
»ay remarkable.
The National Academy, Id (ho Now York exhi
bitions, hits over ami over again demonstrated
the error of those critics who affect to despise
American art. but there has never been an at
tempt at a notable American exhibition in tho
West before. Tho former ambitious displays
have been largely foreign pictures, and wo havo
cried “Wolf ” over them to such an extent that
there ia ground for apprehension that wo
may now havo difficulty iu making
our neighbors believe that something
real has at length como. When it
is assorted that Chicago is now in the enjoyment
not only of the lest collection of contempora
neous American paintings over exhibited in the
West, but of decidedly the host, iu several Im
portant respects, over exhibited anywhere, not
excepting Now York, it sounds an though wo
wero bragging again. No doubt they will think
so down at St. Louis. Deprecating, therefore,
oar previous reputation for boastfulness, and
hereby repenting and reforming, wo invite atten
tion to a statement, accurate and careful which
shall begin with generals and follow with partic
ulars. with avoidance of unnecessary persiflage,
Tho galleries of tho Exposition are six
in number, opening together. In tho pres
ent exhibition flvo of them are occupied with
pictures by Eastern artists, aud ono devoted to
Chicago aud Western works. In tho Unit Uvo
galleries thoro are not moro than half-a-dozen
foreign paintings.—in Uio Chicago gallery per
haps a dozen or twenty, tbo properly of the
Academy of Design. Tho collection is, there
fore. almost purely native. Thoro are in all 500
or COO pictures, catalogues of which will bo
ready in a day or two. Tue visitor who enters
from tbs mam Exposition Building by the north
erly door, finds himself In tho
NORTHWEST ROOM,
one of the larger galleries. This room is de
voted to miscellaneous pictures,—that is, it is
hung for the most part with single pictures by
different artists, not collected in groups. Some
of the pictures are very largo and important
and boar tho most noted American names. Tho
north wall is the most striking, occupied by a
pyramid of pictures of o somewhat grand ami
imposing character, n row of moderate-sized
landscapes at tho base, surmounted by Thomas
Colo’s tliroo great pictures of “ Tho Cross and
the World," which stretch along tiie whole side
of tho room ; over these a still larger picture of
tho burial of a Christian martyr, by Vau Iloutli,
of Baltimore, which la hanked by
two comparatively small pictures by
Jumea Walker. Proceeding to tho right, a
picture of Loutzo's occupies tho corner, *‘Tho
First News from Lexington," next to it are two
landscapes of Church, and then another larger
Loutzo, "Tho Battle of Monmouth," and over
the latter a marine view of iloade. On the other
side of thu door are two largo Biorstadts, sur
mounted by good pictures of tloorgo L. Brown
and I’otcr Moran, and next, in (ho corner, is n
cataract by Boutollo. Most conspicuous on tho
west wall Is an immense painting of the live
stock of the Alexander farm, by James 11. Bean!,
** * largo picture by Thomas
Hicks of Ldwin -Booth as Jajo. James Halt,
(Jerry, Wordsworth, Thompson, and Boughtou,
also find room on this wail south of the
entranco-door, together with somo lessor ar
tists. Close by the door, low down, is a very
small picture by tho unfortanato Vaiul, tho Ital
ian artist of Now York who committed suicide at
a pioaio a week ago to-day at lust about tho
time that this picture was put In place.
_,On tho south wall of this gallery is a group of
ahatluok s landscapes, nine In all. occupying tho
space between two doors, carefully grouped with
a largo landscape for the centre, and tho others
at the sides and top. Thia brings us to tho fea
ture of tho exhibition which gives it its highest
claim to superiority, and renders it an excellent
SCHOOL roil A COMPARATIVE STUDY OP AUL'IIICAN
PAINTING.
Tula Is (be gathering into groups of tbo worts
of diflereut artists, with plenty of room, and
drapery to separate one group from another. So
far as la known, cither to the Art Committee of
tbo Lxposltlon or to Mr. heard, or the other ar
tists, this baa never before been attempted m
any collection in this country or Duropo, nor
even in tbo French salons. It has sometimes
been done in the case of two or throe artists,
but never before have the works of twenty or
thirty masters of painting been displayed side
by aide ip groups supplied by themselves, bung
In accordance with tlieiv own designs. To John
F. Stafford and William 11. hoard we are indebt

icoudutg to pirt.culars, tho charming variety in
tho styles of tho dilforeut artists is tho Unit
thing to strike tho eye and thomied. J. G.
ilrowu’s careful tlgures arc sharply contrasted
with do ilans* breezy marines. Lo dear's por
traits face Hollow's gcntlo landscapes, Cropaoy’a
gay autiumi foliage ueopons tho quiet of Whitt
rouge's realistic olruet-viown and interiors.
Kouaett’s serious rocks and oaks almost throw
their shadows on Kastman Johnson's romping
boys and girls. Mom various and individual are
those pictures, scarcely any Uiuship between
any two/>f the artists, yet every one with points
of interest aud merit. To tiace their various
modes of dealing with tho same subjects, tho
diverse apprehension of similar things by dif
ferent men of dissimilar chaiacters. is n pleasing
task, which which will bo attempted m subso*
quout articles iu such restricted fasuioa as is
possible in newspaper eolumes.
Padding tnrough tho eastern range of rooms
wo enter tho Chicago gallorv, tho southwestern,
politely ovorlooklng, or more literally under
looking, as wo leavo tho southwest room, the
unhappy accident which has befallen the uoso of
tho large liguro of the printer over the door, the
only authentic iostaucolt is behoved on record
—aud this accidental and duo to tho defective
drying of tho oil—whoio an artist has suc
ceeded in painting a cold iu the head. Uu en

length figure of tbo Fopo ou ibo north wail,
lobed iu brilliant red against a bright blue sky.
Ami before going any farther some explanation
ought to bo xnado of tho difficult .position
in which our artists find themselves—
not by way of apology for auy gener
al deficiency in. tbo collodion, which
la surprisingly good—bettor than anybody will
behove befuro examining it with competent
eyes—but to account for the occasionally uubveu
quality of the pictures and tbo crowded walla,
"Inch nro m some placoa hung six or eight high.
Firstly and frankly, it is a bird competition lor
Western artists to put them aide by ride with
tho painters of Now York and Huston. Wo havo
lew* men—nobody will pretend otherwise—who
cun compete ou equal terms with tho loaders of
tho National Academy. Of tho Eastern artists,
only uion of established reputation were allowed
to contribute ; tho poor ouos wore not oven noti
fied of tho exhibition; so their galleries are
almost altogether froo from bad pictures.
WITH THE HOME ARTISTS
the caso was different. Tho management of
those departments was handed over to them, uml
auo of tho galleries placed at tluir service, with
which Mr. Heard, who hung tho other pictures,
has had nothing to do. A Jiaugjig Committee of
eovea Chicago artists, some of them young men,
wn.H appointed, who havo found thom>olvos over
whelmed with contributions from their friends
ami associates under a thousand embarrassing cir
cumsiunccs which can easily he surmised. If
tho pictures could havo been hung under tbo
supervision of a single artist confessedly one of
tho beat painters, and armed with full authority,
tho exhibition might havo been made better.
As it Ib, the Committee has done
itself credit, excluding many inferior pictures,
and forming a collection worthy of respect, ami
latrly rciircsoutativo of tho bettor art production
of tho Weal. Certain pictures of the room will
compare favorably for effectiveness with any
parts of tho other galleries, for instance tho
row of pictures “on the line '* at the northwest
corner beginning with Jasper Lawman’s fruit,
ana including Alias fihaw's landscape, Volk's
Venetian picture, and Freer and bhirlsw’s
studies of heads, os far us the entrance door.
Tbo ntesouue of a fow conspicuous pictures,
wbicb havo no proper place in such a gallery,
duos something to mar the general impression;
ami nothing known to tbo public quite jusiniea
tbo Committee in banging tboeo poor pictured iu
a representative collection. There are too maoy
pictured m this room to bo mentioned fpcculCAi
ly in Ibid general view.

An observant person will not havo gout
through tho collection without perceiving tbo
causa for the general remark that wo have
no rnopca amiuican school or paintino.
Scarcely auy two of these artisui rjsomblo each
other iu suoject, sentiment, or treatment. Go
to Mr. liighwood's gallery of Munich and Dus
soldorf pictures (which it may bo worth whUo to
mention to slraugots is the host collection of
that sort in this neighborhood), and there la a
peculiar family resemblance m nearly all of
either of tho two schools principally represent
ed. Tno same is true in general of the Ficnoh
pictures which find their way to us. and also of
tho Kahau. Hut the Amor icon artist* appear to
be following their own individually, frequently
approaching uuo or tho other of the
foreign schools, either by choice, study,
or chance, so that Innoss or young
Yolk would not mako bad Frenchmen in their
respective degrees, HiorslaJt or Hrunurr would
tram tolerably well in Germanic ranks, while
Homer has tho Italian suggestion, in his case
certainly by chance rather than intention.
In reviewing tho more important pictures more
to detail, there is no way but to approach them
with tho respect which tho character of the ar
tists deserves, not with the common superficial
comment appropriate only to decorative work,
tho whim or diversion of tho producer, but
mindful chat this is the serious production of a
profession of men of not lees native ability and
strength of mind than an equal number of law
jcis, ministers, or merchants—examples of tho
results of the solid work of their lives.
