WHEN FRIENDS FALL OUT.

Artist Whistler and Oscar Wilde, the
Esthete, Have Quarreled.
It would have surprised the ancients to
have received cards Of invitation bearing the
inscription, Prize fight to finish between
Mr.. Damon and NJ. Pythias, but their sur
prise (suppcsing that it existe0 would be as
water unto wine could it be compared to that
felt by modern L4ondoners over the quarrel
between Whistler, the artist, and Wilde, the
asthete.
Until very recently the artist and the es-
thete were Mothers; they walked arm in arm
along the high road OF fame. while an ad-
miring world gazed at them in mute admira-
ton They agreed with each other, or at
least they said they did, which answered
quite as well. They hohnobbed together,
praised each other at all times and places,
and together mourned the Degeneracy of the
Modern Artistic Sense
But, alas! the golden days have flown.
They are friends no longer. Whistler picked
up, not long ago, a copy of The Nineteenth
Century, and saw that his friend Wilde had
a contribution therein. 1t was entitled 1.-The

subject, THE Decay of Lying" but perhaps
they can imagine it.
Paragraph after paragraph Mr.. Whistler
read, but suddenly he stopped. What was
the matter? Why, he had discovered that
his dear friend had violated one of the con-
ditions of their friendship-he had let a
chance to exalt Whistler slip by unnoticed.
He defined disciple, in the course of his
article, as one who has tho courage Of the
opinions of his master-a very good def
milton. But the trouble lay in the fact that
the definition is favorite one with Mr..
Whistler, and Mr.. Wilde did not say 50 in
his article And this is friendship!
1t is probable that Mr.. Whistler ran his
fingers through his already artistically rum
pied hair and threw The Nineteenth Century
down in disgust At any rate, he straight
way wrote letter to London Truth, in
which he accused Mr.. Wilde Of plagiarism
Mr.. Wilde replied, through the same me-
dunn, in these gentle and aesthetic words:
~ can hardly imagine that the public are
in the very smallest degree interested in the
slrill shrielzs of 'plagiarist' that proceed from
time to time out of the lips Of silly vanity or

successful as did "a Glance at New York, !"
there were no failures among them. In 1851

Boston was not for long his abiding place, as
he went from there to Washington and as

The year 1854 was an important one in bis

From this time on the club grew rapidly
and in two years boasted membership Of
700. At the present time it numbers nearly
l,400 names and ranks above any similar
organization, with perhaps one exception,
the New York Athletic club. The A. c. S.
N. has made a speciality of boxing and
wrestling, and in these branches has reached
the highest point of proficiency. In track
athletics it does not claim a very high posi-
ton, but it has a large and enthusiastic con-
tingent devoted 10 these sports, so that it ia
only . matter of time when thorough deTel
opment of the excellent material the club
contains will place it nan equal footing with
rival organizations
Morris w. Phillips. ex-vice commodore OF
the Schuylkin navy, IS president of the club.
w. II. Mcmillan, its treasurer, is also COM
modore Of the navy and president of the
Amateur Athletic union. The club has some
good men who take active interest in track
athletics, and as such might be mentioned the
following: For the short distances of 100 and
20 yards, W. NJ Prrett, G. W. Hoskin,
ard J. G. Graham are promising candidates
for houors; W. B. REILLY, H. W. Schlichtea
and J. n Hill should do well at the quarter,
half and mile distances
W. Il Taxis, of whom an excellent likeness
Is given, is relied upon to do some great work
next season as bicychst. He is not new
man by any means, and almost every one
who takes an interest in "leg developers"
knows his record.
The club has handsome new home now
On Arch street. 1t is a FIVE story building,
the entire front being of stone The interior
Is deliberately fitted up, and the gymnasium
and paraphernalia are of the finest.
The Pastime Athletic club of New York
city differs from the A. C. S. N. In some re-
spectS. The Pestimes are essentially an ath-
letic club. There is practically no social ele-
ment, and it gives more attention TO track
athletics than 10 boxing contests, etc The
club has had a wonderful growth ORGANIZED
more than eleven years ago, with but thirteen
members, it has grown and prospered, until
today its membership roll contains almost
400 names.
Financially well off, it takes high rank
among the clubs of the A. A. u
The club has been called the athletic nur-
sery,n name which time has proved well
applied.
