Entirely obdurate is Vanderbilt on one
point. He will not lend picture for
| exhibition outside of his own art gallery.
| 1t is said that there is no surer way Of getting
donation Of money from him in aid Of a
charity fair than to go to him begging for a
painting 10 be used as au exhibit. Practic-
ally, he buys off the applicant. But in the
case of the Union League clubs perisdical
collections, there is no argument Of philan-
thropy, and his refusals are direct and plain.
William Sartain, the artist, is a new member
Of the Union Leagues art committee and
through his influence and industry the show
now open is unprecedented in quality. A
number Of treasures are there which had not
been taken from the owners walls since the
original purchases. II is hardly astonishing
that people are ayerse to trust fine pictures
away from home. IT is true that there is
always ample insurance against loss by fire,
but in the carriage and hanging a canvas
may be easily punctured or torn. Anyhow,
Nr. Vanderbilt was immovable. Not the
smallest of hisi gems could be obtained.
A peculiar argument was tried on him.

William VI. Eyarts on Friday evening"" said
the solicitor. ''and under the circumstances

'sWhat DO YOU meang' said the millionaire.
s'Why, that Chauncey NJ. Depew, your en-
pIoye, was beaten by Evarts in the race for
the United States senatorshp, and some
would think you felt mifIed by It, If they
knew you declined to lend a picture.''
''What's the odds If they dol Pm sure
don't care.' The erraud failed.
