ART NOTES.


The Centennial Loan Exhibition has proved a great
spite OF the terrible weather which condnos
most prudent people to their houses during tho day.
At the Academy Of Design alone the receipts have
averaged $3.50 per day. and there is doubt that ths
exhibition should be kept open, hope it may,
until the cooler days OF the fall, the result
will he the moro gratifying and tho Academy
OF Design will be able to enter upon
career of prosperity with an assured and bril-
liant future. Prominent members Of the committee
in favor OF keeping the Exhibition open until late
the ial, aud sincerely hope the owners Of
masterpieces OF art which assembled at the Metro
politan Museum and Academy Of Design will give
hearty consent to this programme. and SO make the
public douby their debtor
THE FRENCH ARTISTS rUyD.
Barthold the French sculptor, who has mousssc
the design for the splendid statue OF 'Freesom Ea
tightening the World" which France proposes to erect
the harbor OF New York, has out with :
from the French artists ho contributed the
Chicago fund, authorized TO the amount
realized in favor Of the prospective statue
The New York committee however, into whose handa
the funds realized by the sale OF the cures in
trusted, think that the pictures given to
Chicago the funds resulting from the sale weY
be devoted to project in which New York appa.
emily chiefly interested. Before NJ. Bartholdi's ar.
Chicago to be there invested. the interest be de-
voted to the support Of fine arts professorshp for the
benefit of Western art students. However, in view OF
the complication which has arisen, the committee
will make disposition Of the money with.
first having consulted the artists who
contributed pictures to the fund This seems to be
reasonable decision, and ought give satisfaction Ia
all concerned II the artists who gave the pictures
the fund should decide that the money ought TO be
transferred TO the projected statue the committee
would probably not hesitate to make trans
fer; but until the question has been fully presented TO
them and decision arrived at It is only prudent to
post action IN important a matter.
