FORMER SALES OF THIS SEASON.
Notwithstanding the dnlness OF tho market
for pictures lin common with most other sala-
bic a1ticles) the number Of paintings sold in
Chicago in the last year must have been con-
siderable. The auction by Eastern dealers in
April was followed in June By sale Of foreign
and local pictures 1T the Academy Of DESIGN,
and since that there has been an average Of al
most one sale month Of respectable pictures
besides the weekly auctions Of cheap pictures
and the large number OF private sales.
There have been two public sales by High
wood. one BY Hazelsine, the Philadelphia dealer,
and two By the local artists. The Exposition
heId no public sale, but offered to private pur-
chasers by far the most important collection Of
American pictures ever brought hcre, for the
most part unavailngly, because the pr1ces we're
high and the people economical. OF the auction
sales the two held by the local artists in October
and during the last week, have probably been
the most strictly in accordance With the pub
hshed terms Of sale, tbs pictures sold absolute
IL without rasezve, and the principle carried even
to the point Of selling upon 3 singla bid, which
is not required Of auctioneers either by custom
or law This strictness OF fair dealing is go |
in sales Of this class, and 80. hon

THE OUTER WORLD.
THE "sI4R" DRAMA.

The New York Wortd plainly b1urts out one ol
the reasons why there is no native drama il
existence:
Three weeks ago historical drama written by an
American gentleman wifo lives In Connecticut wa
submitted to two Of our anaRers- It pronounced
BY both Of them unusually good play but neithet
Of them could prodnce it. because actress could not
be found to play the leading part Those who could
repertoires. Those who could rot play It wanted to
have all the other parts cut OUT that they too could
travel with It: un4aestionaby the Ignorance and
| milstone On the neck of the drama.
It is unquestionably the case that any play not
adapted to the capacities OF Wa1lack's, or the
Union Square, or the Fifth Avenue companies,
would stand little chance Of being accepted BY
the managers Of those theatres New plays are
often written for this or that "star, " but new
American drama Is non seldom brought out On
ita merits.
oAKEY HALLS FAILURE.
10 Howard says significantly in hls New York
Star, referring to 'The Crucible" and Oakley
Hall: 1--WE can understand why Mr. Bennett,
an intimate friend and associate of Mr.. Hall
should order puff of his friend to be written.
We eau APPRECIATE The motives that impelled Mr.
Hurlburt, who is supposed to have written the
worst parts OF this very bad play, to take the
duty from the regular critic Of the World and
parade his pleasantriea the following day,
Every journalist who witnessed Mr. Halls debut
WAS sick at heart because Of his lamentable fall
ure. Every manager there SAW how utter and
complete was the disaster. And the AUDIENCE
refratned from derision simply because they re-
spect and esteem Oakley Hall az be- was, The
Tribune and the Star alone told the truth and
they told it frankly and without abuse"
