The national bias in favor of portraiturs

OF probably the most notable genius in
that walk of art whom the world has seen
~~Nandyke. An earlier and in some re-
spects even greater portrait painter, Hans
Holbein, had, it is true, in the preceding
century planted the germs of the art in
British soil. Holben' S example developed
itself in after time in England chiefly III
the direction of portrait painting i'll min
nature, in which he himself had contribut
ed lnimitably beautiful works, and by
Nicholas Hillyard, the divers, Cooper
Hoskins and other native professors of the
art, his successors in the land, the great
school of English portrait miniature paint
ing was rapidly developed. This national
speciality, be it said, by the way, down
even to our own times unrivaled in any
other country, we have ourselves seen vir-
tually Cxtinguished by deadenng frost
of scientific discoyery-ph photography that
democratic leyeler in art and inevitable
bane of true genius.
Charles l. with all his artistic instincts,
seems nevertheless to have had but COM
paratively narrow views and aims in the
matter of collecting. At the very time
that he acquired the famous Mantau col

R00E, COMING SOON.
Work on New City Building Being
Rapidly Pushed.
Walls and Petitions up to the Second Floor
are Completed.

The new city building Is rapidly grow
ing. and few weeks more will see the
roof in place, after which the weather
will have no terrors for any of the
workers. The present. however, is a crit
ical time, and from now until the first Of
the year, good weather is a thing greatly
to be desired. There is little, really no
cause for complaint for past treatment at
the hands of the weather, for up to two
weeks ago, the conditions could not
have been more favorable, and the expec-
tations of even the most sanguine were
surpassed. Those who grumbled, and
prophesicd that it was about as likely
that the heavens would be rooted over,
as would the new building by JAN 1,
are moderately mum, about now, and the
contractors and every one else interested
in the best of humor
Tuesday, W. B. Main, representing
the Magguier & Jones Company of Port
land, who are the contractors for the iron
structures, arrived in the city, and work
will be Immediately commenced on erect
ing the iron posts which are to be the sup
ports of the iron girders which span the
hall, and the framework of the roof.
OF these posts there will be IS,
seven on either side, with four in
front They will be literally built
in the walls, so it will be necessary
to have them in place before further work
is done on the walls.
To insure as much protection from the
cold winds as is possible, the walls on the
north and west sides will be first erected
The posts will be set on their bases,
and stayed in place until sufficient wal
ling shall have been put up to keep them
in position.
The iron girde1s which span the hall,
from post to post are 70 feet in length,
the width of the main building.
These girders are made up in sections,
and are to be supported and stayed, to
secure stability.
The wing section facing the river will
have none of the upright iron supports,
as from its construction. these are not
necessary.
The square granite pclastcrs have been
erected at the sides of the entrance, on
handsome pedestals.
The rusticatcd brick work, between the
first and second floors looks we'll and adds
much to the appearance of the walls.
1t is estimated that, if the weather
holds fairly favorable, everything will tie
ready in two weeks for the frame work of
the roof, thus allowing nearly two weeks
for its erection before the contracted time.
This will be accomplished beyond IA doubt.
