The Artists Associations.
The annual election for officers of the
American Artists Association was held on
Tuesday evening. The following gentlemen
were elected officers for the ensuing year:
President, WILLIAM WALCUTr
Vice observation-disclosures BURNS.

Treasurer WILLIAM HAMILTON.

Tait.-N. y. Herald.
The American Artims' Association is a
newly -organized body, with objects siml to,
but with modlS operan,i quite different from
the American Art Union which has been so
long in operation. We were honored by the
appointment of Honorary Secretary of the CAS-
ISOLATION, " last Fall, and regret that we were
unable to do more to promote its worthy and
commendable purposes specially, as we were
one of the fortunate members who obtained
pri:eS at the recent drawing. Our prize,-a
full-Iength, though not foRi-Sice portrait Of
Mrs. SEA- SMlTH, the Poetess has been re-
ceived, and may be seen at the Reading Rooms
of the Burlington Lyceum for a few days. 1t
was painted by GEORGE W. FLAGG, a Nephew
and favorite pupil OF WASHINGTON ALLsToN,
and an Artist Of superior reputation. The est-
mate his brother Artists place upon his works
may be appreciated from the fact that they paid
him 5000, for This fine picture.
During the coming season, the Artists AS
sociaton will send US, for exhibition, some of
None but the most meritorious works of Art
will be purchased for distribution, and as the
association is emphatically an ARTISTS assoc-
alton, we have high guaranty for the uniform
superiority Of the prizes. We invite the atten-
lion of our readers to the claims of this Asso..
citation upon their confidence and patronage.
