BRooKLYN-oDDs AND ENDS.
Severa, new exhibitions are opened this week. ana
the water-co.or show has already taken promi-
nent place in the calendar, but the event OF the
few days, of the entire season, must be the
SAFE of the Inness collection. 1t has been on view
at the Fifth Avenue Art Galleries and VIII remain
there until Tuesday. On the evening OF that day
and on Wednesday and Thursday evenings the plet-
ures will be sod at auction at Chickerng Hail. IL
is to be hoped that good weather will have arrived
by that time. and that good wea her or bad. there
will be generous turning out Of the connoisseurS
of New York and other cities, where the best art -
appreciated. Inness's art is of the best. and this
sale brings forward great quantity OF his most sue
cessful work. 1t Is the work OF an American artist,
American to the but in addition to this fact It
must be remembered that Inness had all those fine
qualities which go TO make art universal He had i'm
aginaton poetry. idealty; he had the splendid mas
terry which concentrates these things into great
works OF art. and he stands to-day a level with
the first landscape painters Of Europe. The public
must recognize this at the approaching sale An
neffaceable stigma will rest upon us II We permit
these pictures to be sold at prices unworthy Of them.
