Art DEPARTMENT.. l372,

The illustrations of THE .fLDTNE have
won worldwide reputation, and in the art
centres of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood cuts are examples Of the highest
perfection ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor of ''steel plates - is rapid
ly yielding to a more educated and discrimn-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facli-
ty Of production. The wood-cuts of TIE
ALDINE possess ali the delicacy and elabor-
ate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford better rendering of the
artists original.
To fully realize The wonderful work which
TIE ALDINE is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people of any other
descent representations of the productions of
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, TIE ALDINE will re-
produce examples Of the best foreign
masters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest
Thus the subscriber to THE ALDiNE will,
at a trilling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by 1hos Moran and J. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tiOns any Of its predecessors

Every subscriber to THE ALDTNE for the

OF the artists scope and coloring. The

plates, and are in size az y lG) and appear
ance exact lac-sinliles of the originals. The
presentation OF q worthy example of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers Of TIE ALDINE was a bold but
peculiarly Happy idea, and its successful
realization is attestcd by the following testi-
monial, oyer the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.
NEWARK, n. j., SEPT. 20M, 1873.
Messrs. JAMES SUTTON & Co.
! Gcmlemen,-I am delighted with the proofs
in color Of your chromos. They are wonder
fully successful representations by mcchani-
cal process of the original paintings.
. Very respectfully,
(Signed,) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense Ameri-
can. They are by an riginal American
process, with material of American manu-
facture, from designs Of American scenery
by an American painter, and presented to
subscribers to the first successful American
Art Journal. If no better because of all
this, they will certainly possess an interest
no foreign production can inspire, and
neither are they any the worse if by reason
of peculiar facilities of production they cost
the publishers only trine, ackVe equal in
crcry respect to otler chroDoS that are sold singly
.ts' double the subscription price of THE
hLDINE. Persons Of taste will prize these
ic:;wes for themselves-not for the price
lil,y did or did not cost, and will appreciate
The enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.
If any subscriber should indicate a prefer
ence for figure subject, the publishers will
send Thoughts of Home," new and

BILLIARDS.
QUITE DULL EVERYWHERE
There is nothing Of particular importance to
be said about billiards at home or abroad. That
mysterious creature. Rudolph, has vanished from
the country as suddenly Be he appeared, and the
prospect Of some lively tilt between him and the
other great players Of the country vanished with
him What point OF the compass he will next turn
up at is as much OF 3 mystery as himself. Mean
while, all the experts are resting on their
oars with the volatile GARNER at the head Of the
heap: crying loudly for more Little billiard
worlds to conquer. What ia the reason We can
not breed billiard player in Chicago who will
make those Frenehnen stop their noise?
MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
Tom Foley has let the contract for dome to
his mammoth concern that will be as large as an
ordinary-sizeu billiard-room. He will also have
q chandelier with so many lights that it will take
a week to count them. Competition in trade iG
a great thing for others.
Personal.
Frank Parker, the well-known b1liard-player,
arrived in the city yesterday from St. Paul. He
is looking remarkably rell, and is said to be in
fine practice. His remaining is matter Of un-
