FIFTY SEVENTH ANNUAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DAY.
We have often heard of and seen Vanish-
ing Day but do not recall any such occasion when
as Yesterday yarnish seemed everywhere. Artists
were met at every turn mounted on wilderness Of
ladders armed with cOpal In bottles,
copol in tin cups copal in tumblers,
forty artists vanishing like one and, occasionally,
one artist vanishing like FORTY This confusion, with
the necessity of being forever the lookout TO avoid the
varnish pots and with the pervadng smokness OF the
atmosphere made the search after good pictures un
usually embarrassing. There ale over 700 pictures,
every room with the corridor being fun to overlooking,
and crayon watercOlors and sculpture driven 10 find
place in one OF the rooms on the main floor. But the
hanging Is the most unfortunate have seen in its
general efect there is apparently system Of arrange
ment the result is melancholy higsedy-pIgledy
The good pictures are made TO look like ba Ones and
the bad ones look desperately bad that the VISITOR
goes away blue with fears for art and artists IL he In

and few others of the sort. and when the smles pro
yoked by these pictures shall have chased away the
gloom ongendered by the general survey he can proceed
TO hunt up the red OF In this wilderness OF
busks what contrast between this confused aud IN
artistic hanging, and the arrangement OF the walls
OF the late Water-CoOr Exhibition. where not only
did every drawing look its BEST but all
looked well together.
