II was proposed to call New-Ysrk on the introduction
Of tire Crotor, we have not one.
We mentioned last week that the Mores,' "
painted by Mr.. Page, in Rome, was cent to the ex-
bibition of the Royal Academy in London, together
with some other pictures by the same artist, and thst
only one of ihem portrait of a lady, was accepted,
the others being refused for the alleged that
foreign artists permit ed to exhibit but one pic
ture There were six Mr. Pages pictures sent TO the
exhibition not by bin, but by gentleman 10 London,
to whom it was stated that by the rules OF the
Academy only one work of foreign artist was al
LEVIED. correspondent of The Erening Post,
who thinks " truth" very desirable element in art,
intmates that Mr. Pages {" Samson" was refused for
very different reason because there were two paint
iDgs exhibited from Mr. Cropsey, aud two from Mr..
Richardson of Philadelphia Another correspondent OF
The Post states the facts, and correctly, to be that
"Not Richardson but w. T. Richards OF Ph 1

works Nos. 1894, 479 and 4Sl all studies made last

the ex ibitor Of two works, Happy Moments NO.

sculptor who left here only year ago, f. l. hun,se,
has four works in the sculpture department The
Royal Academy receives all original works for exh6l-
ton, but subject TO the approval or reJecton OF tue
Council whose decision IL final IL is a rule OF the
body that no artist is allowed to exhibit mora than
eight different works Honorary exhibitors are limited
TO one.'"
We do not know what the difference may be between
"foreign" and an " honorary" exhibitor but it
is probable that Peele and Cropsey being both residents
of England are not regarded foreigners. Peels is,
in TRUTH an Englishman by birth, and he now makes
his home permanently on the Isle of Man but he has
generally been called an American artist because he
spent his boyhood in this country where his fathers
family still resides. OF the six pictures of Mr. Page,
sent to the Royal Academy, four were accepted by
the council, and among them were Venus and the
large painting of Moses, Aaron and Hur aud the COM
mittee sent letter of apology regretting their ability to
exhibit but one
AT Mr. Schauss's, in Broadway, may be seen an
exquisite drawing in pencil which is well worthy of
the study of artists the inspection Of connoseurs

made by the Italian artist Fano for the engraver to
work from.
One bookseller in Broadway has, within a couple
of weeks, sold twenty-five copies of Ruskins last
volume of Modern Painters, and seeing that it costs
$5 and is to be republisbed here at very greatly
duced price the circumstance indicates most
aging zeal in the cause of art The enthusiastic
thor, in preface full of eloquent pathOs modesty
apologies for having delayed the publication of the
volume long, and, in selfjustifcaton, gives an ac
count of part of his abors during the five years that
he has been employed upon the work. Among other
things which helped to consume his time the self

bequeathed to the British nation by j. NJ. w.
Turner. Mr. Ruskns account of these precious relics

pathetic passages in his five volumes But, though
this fifth volume is called the last it does not exhaust
the subject and he promises, if time and opportunity
permit to give another the inexhaustble topic of
