FosEnn ART NOTES.

The centenary exhibition of the Royal Academy OF
London s one OF considerable interest," and most Of
the leading artists represented. II Is remarka-
bic fact that in 1853 English art had hardly any recog
nized status except portraure while In 1868 por
trait painting is the branch In which English art Ii
weakest. Hogarth is the great and almost the only
exception to the supremacy Of portraiure at the
Her epoch. His reputation, and such prOnt as he
earned, were won by his engravfngs. Reynolds and
Ganesborough were then In their full play of power
and from their time portrait painting has been on the
decline, till that which was the staple and pride Of
an exhibition In 176S has, In 1868, become sort Of
offence One may almost count the portraits one re-
calls with pleasure on ones fingers palpabe aim
at pleasing is the besettng sin Of portrait painting,
when followed as an exclusive occupation. TIL Eng
sh portrait painters bold enough to paint truth
fully, even their cleverest works will be poor. This
years exhibition is noticeable for the prominent
place given to the pictures Of two distinguished for
eign contributors. Baron Leys OF Antwerp, and M.
Edward Frere. The former sends large picture

county, Kentucky, on the oath Of December,
1909, and was consequently in his fifty. ninth year.
When quite child his parents emigrated to Missouri
where he was reared. After attaining his fifteenth
year he was apprenticed to q sadder but disliking
the trade, and being Of wild, rowing disposition,
he left his master two years after and started on
hunting expedition. For eight years hepursued the
arduous and dangerous career Of trapper, when he
was appointed hunter to Bents fort IN which capac
ty he continued for eight years longer. Returning
to Missouri at the end Of this time for the purpose of
seeing his family he met General Fremont and
promptly accepted an offer 10 join his exploring ex
petition. His reputation as mountain trapper and
guide had by this time become extended, his name
being connected with many daring feats. In 1s47 he
was lieutenant IN the United States army and at
tached to the rife corps, and during the rebellion he
was promoted from rank to rank until he

Dan RICE, the Snowman. is in New York, a
candidate for the Democratic nomination. At
the corner of Broadway and Blocker streets is
handsome banner bearing the inscription,
THE peoples choice for President Daniel
Rice Of Pennsylvania" Well, why not Daniel
Rice2 He at least has national reputation,
and so has his SHOW" But pray what have a
majority of the old fossils whose names are be-
fore the New York convention, ever shown to
the American people that can enable their iel-
low citizens to know or honor them?
Our yesterdays dispatches spoke of the sud-
den prominence of Sanford E. Church
candidate for the nomination. Who knows
Sanford E. Church? Only those whose leisure
or whose absorbing interest in politics has led
them to follow the doleful mazes and compli-
cations OF the local politics of New York.
Church is rich and belongs to the old war
horse school of politicians. His nelghbors say
that he is a financer. He belonged to that no.
torious political ring called the ALBANY Re-
gsncy" which for many years saved the COM
monalty of New York any trouble in selecting
their State officers directing the course of
legislation. sg as
Who is Asa Packer, the Pennsylvania celeb
rity whose name is such a tower of strength
that not only his own State, but Gov. Seymour
and the New York delegates were at one time
inclined to push his claims? The only account
of him we are able to find is in Lanman's Die
tionary of Congress, where his biography is
given with more than Spartan brevity: Pack
er, Asa. He was born in Connecticut, and was
a. Representative in Congress from. Pennsylva-
mia from 1858 to 1927" Thus Packer in histo-
ry. a 4- M
Other preaaamite candidates are not want

has no reputation outside the kingdom of Cam
den and Amboy, and Governor English of
Connecticut whose private secretary writes his
nae: sages must be classed with Church and
Packer. @ ah
AT the time of this writing it does not D.
pear with any certainty that one of these anci-
emit obscurities will not receive the nominal
1t would comport well enough with the Dem
ocratic poverty in men and ideas and with the
traditions of the party. 1t would be the Pierce
game over again. Among all the names pre-
scented in the Republican National Convention
for the Vice Presidency there was not one
which is not more familiar to he people tn an
either of those we have mentioned as cand-
dates for the t1rst place on the Democratic
ticket And, seriously, Dan Rice would make
more formidable opponent for Grant than
either of the others.
