The great annual picture fair consisting OF the
two Paris Salons. which opened to-day In the vast
Palace OF Machinery with more than usual sue
cess. gave public opportunity for judging the
| relative merits Of the two rival camps INTO
which French art Is divided. The verdict THIS
afternoon is that the Beaux Arts salon, whlch
ten years ago seeded from the Academic so
ciety of French Artists. is characterized by iar
greater distinction and modernism. The p'ct-
ures at the Beaux Arts Salon are much fewer
In number and are not crowded together. and
each artist has his own little shoY OF half
| dozen works Never before have So many pict-
ures Of huge dimensions been exhibited. "Arbl-
tration," by Henri. Danger with heroic portraits
