ART IN g1> w Ala.

Mr.. .HntcbjDson. Olives n SueeiHct state
ment ON the subieoi D" sydney.
Mr.. Allen Hutchinson, n recent
arrival from Hawaii, gives an in.
teresting account of the progress
of art in that country, says the
Sydney, N. s W., Daily rele-
graph. Mr.. Hutchinson is
sculptor who has been for several
years engaged at Honolulu In
type studies of the native race.
One of the interesting features of
Hawaii from an art standpoint,
be explained to q, Dairy TeleA
graph representative yesterday,
is the interest now being taken in
the preservation of what remains
of the native antiquities, curiosi-
ties, and characteristics. Till
quite recently nothing whatever
had been done il this respect.
Steps have, recently been taken
also to preserve the old native
temples, which had previously
been allowed to decay, and even
to be carried away for building
purposes. The ply sique of the
natives, he says, is splendid, but
they are rapidly losing their in
teres,ing primitive condition aud
characteristics. Only the old
people have any knowledge, for
instance, oI the manufacture of
tapa, or native cloth. "Honolulu
has very hourishing and enter
prisiDg little art league, which
holds two exhibitions a year, and
which is we'll supported by sub
scribing lay men" AS eyidencing
the small interest which artists take
in mundane affairs, Mr. Hutchinson
mentioned that he had been
through three revolutions in Ha-
waii without being any wiser. eff
l went down town and found a
fresh Government installed, it
really made no difference 10 me.
AT the time of the first revolution,
however, about 1889, l happen
ed to be doing bust of the
King, and was actually shut up in
the place during a siege of the
building. Bullets were flying in
every direction, and l narrowly
Escaped"
Among the native type studies
which Mr.. Hutchinson has done
foc the Bishop Mureum at Houo-
lulu are a series of relief heads,
male and female, representing
four ages, from childhood to old
age. Two years ago be was COM
missioned by the trustees of the
Museum, to make a series of life
size figures (casts from life) of
native Hawaiiuns for the new
annexe. These represented an
. old kahupa (native priesO or
medicine man, praying to death

work; iapa beating group, and
a poi pounding group. MI.
! Hutchinson is here with view of
continuing his chronological
studies of the native races of the
Pacific. Sydney he considers as
the most suitable base for opera
tions. He has with him moulds
of the work he has already done
in Hawaii.
