SOME ART REFLECTIONS.
THE TEMPLES TO THE MUSES. ON
GA BELLE RivIERE.s

Past, Present and Future of the Fine Arts
in the City of Cincinnati--Its Primitive
School and Modern Ornate shrines OF
the Artist and Sculptor.
The study and cultivation of the fine
arts in Cincinnati has been co-extensive
with the pursuit and development of the
industrial arts. That community is for
tunate whose citizens of wealth and in
telligence seek not only to adorn their
own estates, but, in a spirit of philan-
thropy, aim to benefit the public by a
liberal patronage of tbs works of master
minds. They may build mansions after
the various schools of architecture and
adorn them according 20 their means with
the works of the artist and sculptor, the
scientist and savan; they may establish
luxuriant private grounds and gardens
embellished with all the beauties of hor-
ticulture, and, withal, the public may re-
ceive no benefits. But when these tastes
are accompanied by generous public
spirit, and in accordance Herewith tenn
pies to art and to science arise in their
midst, and when, in response TO invita-
tons broadspread, the patrons thereof
meet to carry out the objects embodied in
the munificent gifts to the public from
their benefactors, and every year brings
abundant evidence of the influence and
value of these Institutions then does that
community become an acknowledged CEN
ter of culture and refinement.
There is no chapter in the history of
Cincinnati which does not bear upon the
progress made in the cultivation of the
fine arts. The founding of the Mechanics
Institute, sixty three years ago, was an
suspicious beginning; and the establish
ment of an evening school in connection
Herewith, little more than score of
designs of it's founders.
There many youth, after the tolls of
the day, and when it would seem that his
exhausted nature demapded the healthful
restorative of rest, has applied himself to
practical study and received an in
centive which has enabled him to rise to
higher honors. 1t is said with no little
truth that the muses. seldom choose their
votaries from the salons of affiuenee, but
more often from that enthusiastic class
who seek out the pearl of value-Fame
amid the Lethean waters of want and
privation And this is no more clearly
illustrated than in the success which has
attended the first efforts of the proteges
of this institution.
The browning event. however, in the
history of the fine arts in Cincinnati is
the erection of the Art Museum and its
annex, the Art School The site affords a

commanding view of Eden Park, in which
this institution is located. To the left is
LA Belle Riviere,'' in majestic sweeping
course, between the rolling, verdant slopes
of Eden Park and the forest covered hills
of Kentucky. To the right is Mt. Auburn.
Before and below is the city, and around
are the beautiful, and not seldom the Law
ishly endowed, homes Of Walnut Hills. The
Museum is granite structure of impos
ing architecture known as the Florentine
Romanesque with square tower and nina

of enthusiasm accompanies the perception
of the quiet and tasteful elegance in mar
BILE walls and gilded skylights and cell

sculpture and painting, heraldric armor,
emblems and emblazonments, eXquisitely
wrought and carved furniture, rich tapes
tries and hangings, ceramics, bric-a-brae
and countless other forms, features and
favoritisms in the enchanting realm of
aesthetics make mp study in the school
of the divine muses. which inspires and

largesse of wealth, and very often pro-
tracted effort and successful achievement
in the practical pursuit of the arts. They
include not only the works of the old
masters, but the masterpieces of the
genius-gifted of the present. The Amer
lean sculptor, painter and student of the
various arts is frequently met with, and
how many of these have developed under
the influence and inspiration of that taste
and culture and refinement for which the
Queen City is famed, it is not to enumer-
ate. 1t is sufficient honor that, among
the other conquests of the century just,
closing, not only in the busy marts of in
dustry, but in the schools of science and
literature and in the cultivation of music,
still equal laurels are due to this modern
abode Of the muses., for her patronage and
perpetuation of those divine arts which
have come down to us from that ancient
Hellenic Metropolis.

northern approach, is one mile. The main
bridge consists of five spans, one of 40
feet, a door span of $40 feet two spans of
800 feet, and the longest, or channel span,
of 519 feet The original estimated cost
of the bridge proper was 1903, $40, but
the cost of the approaches and the ex-
penses incurred in overcoming additional
difficulties which always present them
selves in gigantic engineering projects
increased this amount to 81, $50, 600.
The northern approach is by long,
modern trestle work, which, curving at
modern grade, extends to and gradually
reaches the grades of the Midland and
Bee Line railroads.
