The Aheneum says "Mr. Shapiro still
clings to the belief that his fragments are
genuine, and he declares that if they are
spurious he has been the victim of trick
played upon him by his old enemy, NJ.
Clermont Ganneau."
An architect of Albany suggests that
the four columns which stand among the
ruins of the old Capitol be left in place,
because "they are unusually fine samples
of the first period of the architecture Of
the Republic, and constitute a historic
monument which the State of New York
can surely afford to keep"
The sales of paintings at the Mount Nc
Gregor Art Gallery, near Saratoga,
tanned for twelve pictures, among which
Wy d. IL "
which brought 81, 900, and Joseph Lyman's
Waiting for the Tide" which sold for
81 900. This result is certainly an encour-
aging one for the first session.
Says the Atheneun :" Considerable pro-
gress has been made in the work of enlarg.
ing the design for Sir F. LeightoD's fresco
at South Kensington, representing the
ARTS of Peace the companion to the
Arts of War These paintings were de-
signed to fill the lunettes of the galleries
at the north ends respectively of the halves
of the south court in the Museum. The
design for the Arts of Peace was at the
Academy Exhibition in 1873 its compan-
ion design was in the International Exhi.
bition, South Keasington, 1872, and was
finished in fresco some years ago"
Four valuable pictures, which had been
left at T. A. Wilnont's, New York, for
repairs, were recently stolen, and much ex.
element in art circles has been caused
thereby. They were valued at Sl3. 900.
The pieces were Mother and Child, by
Daguerrean "Desdemons," by Caband /;
"Child at Shrine" by Meyer Won Bre-
mer and Flower Girl" by Penault.
No explanation of the manner in which
they were stolen can be given, and the loss
will probably have to fall on the trainers
mentioned above. No engravings or
sketches exist of the stolen paintings, and
it will be difficult matter to trace them.
Gilbert Herkomer's new art school at
Buskey, England, is to be opened this
month. Edmund Yates says "The
whole scheme is replete with happy
thoughts, and will practically combine the
advantages enjoyed by the pupils of one of
the old masters and those of the students
at an ordinary present-day art school.
There will be the new systematic training and
the old frank and free intercourse between
teacher and taught. Every student will
have an opportunity of seeing and study
ing all the work upon which Mr.. Herko-
mer lie engaged and as in addition to the
won fame Mr.. Herkomer is constantly
working in bronze and silver, and in en-
craving or etching from his own designs,
they will really be exceptionally fortunate.
The students will be very carefully select
ed, and when set to work will be left
good deal to themselves; but Mr.. Herko.
mer's own studio is adjacent to the school,
and they will be not only permitted but
encouraged to avail themselves of his
knowledge when they find themselves in
any difficulty. The building itself is
rapidly approaching completion and has
several very interesting features. The
cloisters designed by Mr.. Herkomer, are
singularly beautiful, and the arrangement
of light in the studios is admirable, par.
ticularly in one small studio, where, by an
ingenious arrangement, the model can be
painted in an all.round light"
