The seventy.fourth Exhibition Of the Acade-
my of Design.

on the corner o. Fourth avenue and Twenty
third street may in some measure account for
IN nnwonted air OF brightness that seems TO
prevail at the seventy fourth annual eNhi.
bition. to which the public will be admitted ON
Monday. Not altogether, however, for OF late
q distin ct Improvement has really been notice
able here; IN its old age the venerable Acad-
envy Of Design has risen from its letharRy. and
with q praiseworthy candor has endeavored
to do justice oven to those with whom 1t was
supposed to have least sympathy. Let all
honor. then. lie paid to the intention. how
ever incomplete the performance may be.
The fault. after all. lies not in the individual
members who make up the Academy. but rather
in the rules and customs that guide them;
rules and customs that stand az an example to
be avoided by all who contem plate the forma-
ton OF new art institutions. But 1t Is much too
late in the day to deplore the existence OF con-
ditions that have made possible the presence
OF a great deal Of the stuff exhibited here even
this year; let us rather be thankful that good
material as we'll as bad is to he found. and that
the good. as a whole. has been treated wit.
quite as much conside ration.
In the first place, the Academy has seldom
with such thorough frankness given up the
three chief spots on the walls Of the South Gal
lery to three Of the most truly notable can
vases In the exhibition. for there need be no
hesitation in designating as such the cont-i-
buttons Of Miss Cecilia Baaux. Mr.. Horatio
Walker and Mr.. Childe Hassam. Mr.. Has
