Review of Reviews for June.

The Reriep Of Reviescs for the month OF
June is a number which nobody who in-
tends to go to the Worlds Fair at any
time can afford to be without. However
attractive the other departments may
be, it may be true OF this Worlds Fair,
as it was of the Centennial in 1876, that
the great ma iority OF the visitors will de-
rive more pleasure from the pictures in
the art department than from anything
else. The Rerieu Of Revie,rs sent as its
special representative to Chicago in May,
Mr.. Ernest knaufft. a we'll known art
teacher of New York, who is also writer
upon art subjects and who is known
throughout the country as the very sue
cessful and sympathetic director OF the
art studies at Chautauqua from summer
to summer. Mr.. knaufft has prepared
for the Reuielc Of Rerieus an extended and
discriminating article telling in straight
forward way what are the merits and
striking features of each portion OF the
art exhibit, and his article is illustrated
with outline pen sketches intended as
memoranda of the principal pictures
The article serves as an excellent general
guide to the art department and as an
auxiliary to the more formal catalogue
which gives the names and numbers of
the pictures.
Another important feature OF the Re
rieu q Reriens is we'll written forecast OF
all the principal conventions and gath
erings to be held through the summer
and autumn OF 1898, particular atten-
ton being given to the forthcoming
World $ Congresses and other gatherings
which will be affiliated with such con-
crosses at Chicago. This article should
be retained for reference by all who ex-
pect at any time through the season to
visit the Worlds Fair. An especially
timely feature OF the number is an article
on transit facilities in Chicago and on
the fair grounds. 1t has been specially
prepared for the Revis,c Of Rerieus by Mr.
Henry VI. Windsor, who is editor of the
Street Railnay Rerteu, OF Chicago, and is
thoroughly cOnversant with the facts.
The facilities for handling the Worlds
Fair crowds as described in this article
are nothing short OF marvellous. The
character sketch of this number OF the
Rerier is by Sir Frederick Leighton, the
president Of the Royal Academy and the
official head OF English art. 1t is Illus
trated with fine reproductions OF Sir
Fredericks most famous works. The
article is by one OF the editors of the
Pail Mall Gazette, who is an especially
competent writer on art subjects. The
leading articles in this number OF the
Rerieu have a wide range OF interest, and
the editorial department, the progress
OF the world, will attract attention from
It's lucid discussion of the business and
monetary situation in the United States
and other countries. This number of
the Rerier is illustrated with perhaps
even more picture than usual, the num-
Der exceeding one hundred. The Revieu
Of Rerisus succeeds each month in securing
the verdict Indispensable from great
number OF its exchanges and from thous-
ands OF its readers, and this June num-
Der so entertaining on the one hand and
so full OF convenient reference compila-
ton on the other, certainly merits that
verdict OF Indispensable as we'll as
any OF its predecessor.
