Inc exhibition Of American paintings at the Fifth
Avenue Galleries viii close November l. Thus far
the attendance has been small and the result is
hAey 10 prove The advsabity Of delaying exhibitions
until November. Every one Knows that tbe retur,,
to the city" begins much later now than in fo1ney
years and closes earlier. Nevertheless the oils an
the Fifth Avenue Galleries are accompaned nv q

The coming month will bring the exhibition os
Barye's works and of Millets "Angelus at the
American Art Galleries. This exhibition will be
opened on November 10 and 1t will be closed ON
January IS. The secretary Of the Barye Asso-
citation" announces mat the works Of the greas
sculptor will be accompanied by exhibition OF
"a hundred masterpieces by Delacrox. Rousseau,
Corot Millet Decamps, Dupre, Troyon and naubigny.
1t has been frequently said that a collection could
be formed from American galleries which would
be superior to the hundred masterpieces shown in
Paris a few years since. and the result Of serious
attempt to form such collection will be OF the
utmost value TO amateurs and the public. Tho
statement that Mr. W. T. Walters has offered 10
lend any paintings which may be desired will bs
sufficient in itself 10 attract attention to the
hIbiton. If it is possible 10 secure any of tho
Vanderbilt pictures it would interest many to mako
a direct comparison between the quality of tho
sower' In that collection and the quality Of the
"Angelus" ar. Rockefeller Is another owner Of
modern Masterpieces which. II is to be hoped

the season for prlntovers will be the exhibition Of
Mr.. Seymour Hadcn's private collection of modern
prints This collection has been purchased by Messrs
Wunderlich & Co., as The Tribune announced soma
months since, and the exhibition will begin at he
wunderllch Gallery in January. The work Of Mr..
Haden himself Will be shown at frst and. including
the different staes and trial proofs. there will la
GOO numbers In the catalogue. There was hahea
exhibition In this city in the course OF the arusts
visit years ago. but the coming exhibition VIII
considerably larger and It may be expected TO fur
nIsh practically complete illustration OF Mr. Hadens
work with the needle although It will not contain few
unique impressions owned by Mr. Avery ana others.
these impressiOns have a curious interest, but they
are by no means essential to thorough understanding
of Mr. Haden's art IL is most unfortunate mat inc
