small collection Of Mr. George II Brou shfons
paintings has been placed upon exhibition by MI D
r. Avery jr, and few now pictures arc shown by
other dealers, but the galleries viii contain little Of
special consequence until the political campaign has
run It's course. Tho first Of the events OF the
season Will probably be tho winter opening OF the
Metropolitan Mu cum OF Art Tho wings OF the

and there is promise OF an Interesting exhibition oil

of objects len. by Its friends Early in November
the American Art Galleries VIII be opened with A.
exhibition of painted records Of battle and travel bJ
Basil vercstchagln. These paintings arrived In this
city last week Later IN November the autumn

OF the admirable policy of fair and careful scicc
ton which produced such encouraging results las

billions OF much interest One viii be the exhibition

Of water colors and pasiels by Mr. Whistler, at the
gallery Of Messrs. wundcrlich Co. At tho same
gallery, Mr. Charles A. Plat Will present complete
collection Of his work With tho etching needle. II
IS understood that the NewYork Etching Club issued
special request that painters etchings should be
reserved for its exhibition Publishers plates are to
be excluded. AS the club has recognized the pro-
prcty Of making more Of per bnal work with the
needle, an exhibition Of painters etchIngs prepared
by various artists and amateurs for the carly winter
Will not be held The fact that circulars issued
for such exhibition illustrates tho unsatisfac DRY
character Of recent Etching Club exhibitions and II
Is to be hoped that tbs reformation which Is promised
VIII be effected this year. Another phase Of chalco
graphic activity IS In the publications Of the So
ciety Of American Etchers.' This society is under
stood to propose the stamping of proofs up to the
limit OF the edition declared by the artist, like the
Prfntsellers Association OF London. Unlike that
association however, this society Is described
union Of artists, effected for the purpose Of placing
their work directly before tho public The first etch
ing bearing the soccty's stamp is "Ihe Fsherman's
Courtship," by Mr.. Hamilton Hamilton The society
has also published Mr. Thomas Morans etching after
his painting Of The Mountain Of the Holy Cross
The month of October brings the opening of the
art schools which show evidences Of ino eased flc
ties and enlarged attendance The leading academic
art Schools those OF the Academy OF
Design and Art Students League, have made

the training OF artist artisans The Museum schools

tho direction OF Mr.. Arthur l. Tuckerman, and the
corps of instructors includes Mcssrs b. ". Clnednst,
II. c. Coke, J. Q. A. Ward, and c. A. yandenhoof
The original purpose of the Gotham Art Students was
similar to that Of the Metropolitan Schools, but tho
former seems to have reverted toward the academic
type. Yet the object Of the founder is said to be
still kept In view that Is the establishment of good
practical school for the worker, and those who are
really n earnest IN the study Of art" friend OF
this school claims that there is no school in the
city where those who engaged In different art
industries and occupations have the same facil ties
for study" An effort Is being made TO obtain an
endowment fund for the maintenance Of the school

landscape possessed By English painters In France"
that If any one gains great reputation as landscape
painter, both his material and his effects will be as
commonplace as 1t is poss bic to find them There
are many landscape painters In England who have \
ten times the knowledge of nature that Corot dis
played, but the death of Turner there has not
been a single English landscape painter with the
fame Of Corot anyth ng at all approaching to IT,
Nevertheless, Mr. HamertOn recognizes that an art
very far aivaIced in the knowledge of nature might
