a GREAT ART MUSEUM.

The growth of the Metropolitan Art
Museum Of New York is not only an ilustra-
ton of the active public spirit of the North.
but also of the spread of art culture in the
United States. fnaugurated but short time
ago, comparatively speaking. it is rapidly
reaching through private benefactions princi-
pally the proportions of great European
art museum.
1t is becoming the fashion on the part of
many of the New York milionaires t. leave
il their private collections of paintings and
sculpture upon their death. One of the most
notable additions that have been made to it
is that of the late Miss Catherine Wolfe. The
widow of the great candy dealer, Stuart. was
only prevented from donating to il her cole
brated collection of works of art by the fact
that the museum was allowed to be opened
on Sundays. In the course of the last week
the Moore and Coles collections have been
presented to it, and the president of the in
stitution, Mr.. Margnand, has Just given 1t
$4,000 to enlarge certain departments of the
museum.
The result Of this private generosity. if long
continued. as it will be. will be to make the
Metropolitan Art Museum of New York one
of the greatest in the world-a fact ii which
the citizens Of the United States. irrespective
Of industrial States are deeply Interested as
New York is destined to be even more than it
is now the true metropolis OF America. the
centre that will be sought by all in search Of
pleasure. recreation and information
The prediction has been frequently made
that New York in time will become the fnan-
cial centre Of the globe This is tantamount
to saying that it will become the seat ia the
highest perfection of all those treasures which
exercise SO powerful an influence in inducing
so large an emigration OF pleasure-seekers
each summer from our shores. The more
these feelings are developed IN the United
States the stronger viii grow the feeling of
national pride and patriotism.

therefore are not ineligible under the above
