AZ AMERICAN SOCIETY or AMiTECRS.

Az AMEEICAN HOCiEIl Or ihiiH 1 No.
We publish this morning u review oi the
remarkable exhibition, Of paintings, porcelaln'
and other examples of All which have been
held AT the Union League Club IN the course
Of the last year and half There have been
mn otbor club exhibition, of equal consequence
in this country, and IT Is probable that no
social club anywhere is able to point TO 4 series
Of exhibitions Of this quality. The importance
of the series amply ju>tiiics resume OF the
wor, done in bringing before the public the
choicest possessions OF our most intelligent ana
pcrsjstcnt collectors, but we rctracc the record
Of these exhibitions in order 10 illustrate the
possibilities Of the proposed society oil ANA
tours. which we are able to announce Tor the
first time. II would be misleading 70 say that
the Union League exhibitions suggested the
plan Of such a society. The idea existed be
fore but these exhibitions have shown what
can be done by union of amateurs, and as
the exhibitions have gone on the idea of a
close and definite ASSOCIATION OF amateurs mas
naturally taken practical form.
The character proposed for this society is
indicated in our extract from the constitution
Of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, which to
q certain extent is the model of the American
society. This will not be society with one
task in view. like the Arundel Society, or the
ChacographcaI Society or the society Of the
Friends Of French Monuments, or even the
new Society Of Collectors in Paris, which has
rs its main object the acquisition OF works of
art for the State al public sales. That this
society will prove helpful in other ways than
in the holding of public exhibitions is alto
pctbcr probable but the present plan, like tho
plan of the Burlington, is simply to bring to-
| octhcr amateurs and collectors, To afford means
for consultation between persons OF special
knowledge and experience in art to secure q
library of special works, and gallery where
exhibitions NAV be held, either " for the
calculation Of some school. master or specific
art" or for any general purpose which may
commend itself TO the members. The Groliei
| Climb represents the tastes of bibliOphilcS and
print lovers alone, but the proposed Society
of Amateurs will represent an interest in all
branches Of the fine arts, and We may expect
that our finest private collections will furnish
paintings. and examples of Greek. Oriental and
European ceramic art, metal work, lacquer,
carvings, godsmith's work, tapestries, and all
manner of curious and beautiful objects for tho
exhibitions OF the society.
There is place for this society, and The
active cooperation Of amateurs like Mcssrs

STESTA VITAL NAVAL PROGRESS.

American shipbuilders have shown them
selves equal to the requirements for providing
the country with an efficient navy. In every
class of vessels for which designs have been
furnished and contracts made the fastest and
best ships have readily been built. The tor
pedo-boat Gushing is the first vessel of It's
kind constructed for the new navy, and the
results of the preliminary test are remarkably
satisfactory It's speed has not been accurate
" determined but 30 knots have been made
under conditions which lead experts to antici-
nate a record Of - or even % knots. II is
undoubtedly one Of the fastest torpedo boats
now ahoat. and is admirably adapted for dis
charging automobile tOrpedoeS while travelling
at maximum speed. If the results OF the pre-
liminary trials are confirmed by official tests,
the Government will have model which can
be duplicated advantageously on a large scale
The naval lists of the maritime nations abroad
contain the names of ,036 torpedo-boats of
every class and grade of efficiency. England
and France each have 200 OF these craft.
China has 26, Japan y and Brazil 15 The
United States, if it aims to have symmetrical
and highly efficient navy, must have large

The Santa Fe Route has reduced Its
time between Chicago, Kansas City
and San Francisco one day. 1t has
made the same reduction to important
Texas points. This is an aggregate
saving of one hundred years for each
$500 passengers travelling between
those points, and adds that much to
the working force of the nation. The
Santa FEES fast California train leaving
Great Bend at 6:12 p. m. carries
through Pullman, Palace and Tourist
sleepers without charge arriving at San
Francisco $40 p. m. the Sd day after
departure, while the train leaving
Great Bend at 11.25 a. m. connects at
Newton with the Texas flyer which
arrives at Galveston 11:40 p. m. next
day. The Santa Fe can save century
because of easy grades over mountains
and well ballasted roadbed, rendering
fast running safe.
