THE AKT-l'N SALE OF PAINT
INGs, Ere The Art Union sale went
of with unexpected animation and sue
cess, and from the decided prestige it
has given to American Art may,
amidst the difficulties of the Ins.itu-
ton, be considered az a final act of
triumph. The S95 paintings, which
had been purchased for $751; TT,
brought S35,7l3, an unprecedented
result, we believe. in pcrcnptory sale
Of this kind, This high average was

cost in some instances and cores
ponding depression in others Church's

was sold for $500. At the close of
the sale Mr.. Cozzens, the President,
made a few remarks, which have been
received by the public, stating strong
ly the usefulness of the institution to
American art, of which no better proof
could be afforded than .hc sale just con-
cluded, and ending with palpablc hit:
81 1t would sound, perhaps, like sar-
casri, to say that the cause Of Art looks
now to those by whose agency the use
full career Of the American Art-l'nion
has been brought to close, for some
better organization to take its place,
and accomplish the work it has cndea-
vOrcd to perform.
" But if auy system can be devised,
by them or any othor friends Of art,
better than that we have hitherto pnr-
sued, as we supposed, under the fullest
Of the law, and for the best
of the whole community, it
will be welcomed by none more strong
ly than by those who are now relieved
from duties and responsibilities not
light by any means, but which have
still been chcerfully borne because they
in their judgment, to do
for the public good .
