The influence of the,tendency " up-town" in Nevr
York is extending in art circles. The upper portion
of the new buildingcorner of Broadway and Twenty.
eighth-street is fitted up for studios, and will shortly
be occupied by Messrs. Kennett, Lang, and Baker'
In the Museum, corner of Thirtieth-street, artists
are making arrangements for the winter. On the
south-west corner of Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth"
street a large and well-lighted gallery for the a"
hibition of pictures will shortly be opened by Messrs.
Skinner and Somerville. In the upper storey 1:34
this building numerous artists are already estab,
lisped in studios of moderate size, well adapted for
those who do not measure off their canvas by the
acre. Here Granville Perkins has set up his easel',
convinced that New York is nearer the centre o'
art, than Jersey city. His last painting of South
American scenery is not nearly completed, and be
has decided not to send it to the Paris Exposition'
for which it was originally intended, but to paint it
leisurely and in his best manner. Batman, °a
artist who spent several years in California and in,
other parts of the Pacific coast has also established
himself in this building. Mr. Butman has in his
studio a great number of sketches of the mountain
and seaboard scenery of the spots he visited. lie
is now at work on a large illustration of the sewer,'
of Oregon—the snow-capped Mount Hood, a con-
spicuous object in the distance. Mr. J. F. Fitch'
a Hartford artist, has also ensconced himself here;
Mr. Fitch passed three years in Germany, where 11
was the pupil of Zimmerman. He spent most °1
I;
the past summer in the Adirondacks, from which
he brought back a mass of materials in careful
studies of the grand mountains and stony brookio•
S. Colman is at work upon a large picture of Huai
son river scenery, with a characteristic " jam °

steamers, canal boats, and other river craft.
The lectures at the Peabody Institute, under the
new endowment, have already begun. Profesi
Henry, Doctor Draper, and Professor Johnston, °
Baltimore, are among the lecturers announced.
