According to the London papers, no
art sale of the present season attracted
so large number of sightseers as the
disposal of the remaining works OF
the late Sir Edward Burne-Jones. For
three or four days before the sale the
rooms were crowded from morning UNI
til evening, while it is gravely recorded
that the Princess of Wales spent over
an hour in private view Of the col
lection. 1T is no exaggeration to say.
remarks the London Times" that the
sale has more than justified the very
wide interest which the viewing had
anticipated, for, In it's somewhat limit
ed way, it is perhaps quite without a
rival" The ninety lots of drawings,
pastels and pictures sold during the
first day realized a total of f23, $50 Us,
or an average Of over 600 per lot.

New York Times: The recent issue
of special postage stamps in COM
memoration of the Trans Mississippi
Exposition at Omaha has met with
much adverse criticism in art circles
and by artists everywhere Double the
size of the ordinary postage stamps,
they are destitute of any art quality
and are simply inferior miniature steel
engravings. The Government has
shown such a commendable ambition
during recent years to improve the art
quality of our currency and stamps
that the step backward taken in these
Omaha Exposition stamps is all the
more to be regretted.
