Various cities of the United StatCKhavc i
jraincd a notable reputation for their, an
nual art exhlbHlonfr. This reputation has
been we!! maintained curing tho year
* Tho 'annual exhibitions of the Chicago
Art Institute arc always more notable in..
one ficnso than any; exhibition held in
New York: local" pride «"d interest In
»rt seam: to bo greater there, and, It. has
>ccoinc a custom to employ an agent in ;
Europe to procure works of Amerjcans
residing abroad, and to pay for the trans
portation of these works to Chicago—
a thins not done -by- any New York ex- ;
hibition. Pittsburg does even better. The i
IntcrnatioJiai Exhibition held annually
there by «he Carnegie Jnstitut« invites i
and tran&T>c!ts free of charge tho work
5f eminent foreigners as well as of Ameri
cans abroad and at home, so that such. ex- :
WbiUons are held !n : that city of toil and
smoke as are rarely ; to- bc> seen in Ne-.v
York. Ths?, of course. Ss made possible.
through Ujo liberal endowment given to
the Institute; by Mr. Andrew Carnegie.
In Philadelphia, too. at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts, exhibitions are
linld which numbers of New York artists
are glad to visit.
METROPOLIS OF ART.
Yet New York is:' after all. the real me
tropolis Of art In the United States. The
nrt societies and art -institutions which
have their homes there, talon in conjunc
tion with the Metropolitan Museum,
make: a formidable showing, and would
eseem to indicate that New Yorlt's artistic
pretensions have a. ho1!<1 foundation.
These pretensions would not be <juesliun
ed if they could rest solely upon a repre
sentatios of the line arts through vari
ous societies and a profuse; expenditure
cf millions in the collection of works of
art. Something further and different,
however, is required, if we are ever to
have an art Uiat is national in character.
Any such art is at present with us mere
ly nascent: only "a deep interest in it.
and a willingness to freely for its
establishment, can develop it. Jn New
York -'we find a jiotablc lack of these two
gr-pat essentials, and-, as New York is
considered our Rxcat art centre her alti
tude fixes that of the nation. Hence we
find our. American painters often forced
to seek abroad the recognition which is
denied the:n at home; or if they bravo
fortune and [settle in their own country,
so .difficult fs.it to obtain a market for
their pictures that, with few exceptions.
they are driven to employ their accom
pMshments in teaching' and illustrating.
The result is there is nothing national
In the work of most American painters;
«nd while we have truly great American
artists, wo have no real American art—
unless, as has been suggested, Mr. 1 Whist
ler is willing to admit that L'Art d'Arne
rique, e'est mol. :
Fortunately, the caee of the American
sculptor is somevrhat better: than that of
the* painter, for some hidden reason the
.foreign sculptor not having found any
frreat Ofgree of favor with us. With the
American architect it is even better still.
lie- having obtained; abundant opportunity
a.nd ample recognition in. the land of his
birth. '
Confronted by such indisputable facts
we are forced to admit, that as a; nation
America has done little or nothing mart;
in that respect we arc still in the future.
Xc land, ever nad nobler gifts of . ; nature:
jnany of our .ciUcs have ._possibi!J ties equal
ling: those of Corinth or Alexandria. The
1 ask before us is, therefore, that we learn
as a nation how to use these gifts and
possibilities. V
Certainly a couiitry like our;?, bent on\
pre-eminence in all things, and backed up
by. resources seemingly limitless, must
fall far ehort of expectations It if docs not
become a distinguished factor in the art
of the future. In the natural course of
events Jt would seem that this must be
co. Excepting Russia, the nations of Eu
rope and of the East have had both their
noon and their twilight. America, even
more than Russia, has not yet seen the
dawn. Stlli, if we have not the great
spirit, if we strive mainly to the chic,—
erclst that we may be talked about,—
■where'' are. we to obtain our greatness or
any promise of it, -in our practice of the
ilr.e arts?
WHERE THE DIFFICULTY LIES.
The difficulty seems to lie in the pro
cess of our civilization. Instead of a
various civilization, as should be the case,
ours has become F'igle: it centres about
the conception of Ike as a matter of in
dustria! energy. This conception has be
come-: firmly incorporated Into the nation
al m!nd. We have been swept off our feet
by tiie brilliant success of our industrial
»n*orprisss. and blinde-d by vanity, we
Measure the swelling tide of our material
'prosperity, forgetting other things. Great
'domains of human interest lie uncared for
In .imerlca; our absorption in tiie pmcti
cal is completed; Such an Industrial civil
ization as ours, with its various and
eplendid manifestations of energy-, nat
urally excites admiration and enthusiasm.
Involuntarily all talents apply themselves
to material production ; : old and young
are drawn like fishes in a. net. Yet these
things must bo changed; we must learn
the lesson of self-abnegation; we must
acquire devotion .-, to idealism and reckon
with its values, otherwise pur 'spiritual
life is doomed and /the hope of any great
nchievoment in art is something.:: about
which we need no longer deceive our
selves. ;
Upon one point we may be justly con
gratulated. In many instances the Amer
. can millionaire has lavishly, if not al-;
.vrays wisely, tpent part of his vast ac
cumulation of wealth in collecting works

course has been recently adopted by Mrs.
John Gardiner, of Boston, whoso-collec
lectlon of old masters of all schools is the
most remarkable in the point of quality.
in the United States'; Another; matter,
too. when we look further, is encouraging.
There has been of late a- rapid develop
ment of industrial art, the tendency of
which is to associate more closely art aud
every day life. In the past century only
pictures, "and statues counted as works
of art. The development of industrial
art gives an aesthetic value to the objects
in common use, it teaches the ugliness
of most of the wares offered for sale In
the. shops, and stimulates a man to make
of, his own home a work of art.. If some
effort is made- to realize artistic condi
tions in the home, it is easy for this effort
to extend itself to the streets and public
parks of our cities. This is being done
in a. measure, and we begin to hear in
America strange utterances about-diagon
al or radiating streets, pre-ranged -vlstaa.
corner spaces and artisic memorials. As
an illust rat lon. too. of what is j possible
in this direction. ;cven in so industrial a
country as our?, we have the city of
Washington being built,, as in. Paris, on
a? basis of well-defined, aesthetic princi
»!es " It would seem, therefore,, that a
change for tne. better has taken place in
our point of view, and that far-reaching
ami most interesting opportunities are
being opened up to the artistic activity of
the corning generation.

Many riders were lost in . the woods
after a long run, and had to give it up

the field: a regular wild goose chase of
over fifteen miles and finally got- back
to: his. hole on top of "Edgehill" moun
