of the School of Industrial Art and Tech
meal Design for Women in this city, has
requested Governor Tyler, of Virginia, to
appoint some Virginia woman or girl to
n free scholarship. which she places at
his disposal. says the New York Evening
Post. The scholarship is for tuition only,
and the beneficiary must be at least
eighteen years old; must be possessed OF
a fair amount OF taste ana intelligence;
must be able to enter the school October
list; must feel the need OF such beneht
and have the intention of becoming sell
supporting by the arts of design uios
graduation; and must positively be unable
to pay tuition. This offer has been made
to number of Governors, but few have
been able to accept it. Several have Ia
ken great interest in the institution,
among them Governors Roosevelt, of New
York, and Dyer. of Rhode Island
The J. s. Sargent and Edwin Abbey OK
hihits in the American section of the
Paris Exposition have been made the
subject of complaint by the Daily ES-
artists are Royal Academicans they
should exhibit in the British sections.
The Express also suggests that the fact
of their being Americans gives them an
unfair advantage, their work is i'm
ported into the United States at a lower
rate than is the work of English painters
The Philadelphia Times denies this and
says: "Such Is not the case. Both Sar-
gent and Abbey have refrained from re-
bouncing their American citizenship,
which. the Express inaccurately contends.
disabIes them from being Royal Academi-
Clans
II IS a triumph for American art that
nine OF our painters were awarded gold
medals at the Exposition now in progress
at Paris. This is more honor than that
given to any other nation except France,
and is nearly double the number of gold
medals awarded TO our painters in the ex-
position of 1889. All the American artists
who received gold medals at the unver-
sal exposition of 1889 resided in Paris
This year five of the seven medal winners
reside in the United States, unfolding
American art and proudly bearing aloft
its banner.
The number of visitors at the Art In
stitute of Chicago for the year ending
June ], 1900, was U.421, and the greatest
number of visitors on one day was 10. i:,9
There have been lbs audiences in Full
lerton Memorial Hall. and the aggregate
attendance was His. The highest reg
istration of students in the school con-
nected with the Institute was LIS. The
school is sclf-sustaining.
The celebrated porcelain artist, Camille
Maudot, exhibits a series OF tea cups at
the Exposition. the least expensive of
which is $500, including saucers. Tie
Philadelphia Museum has secured some
OF this ware.
Mr.. Richard Norton, head of the Amerl
can School for Classical Study at Rome,
has written q letter to the Boston Trans
cript in praise of the painting by Mr.. Ell
lot soon TO be put in one of the rooms Of
the Boston Library He says of 1t:
For all its simplicity, it is not dull o.
hackneyed. 1t is a serious, quiet bit of
decoration-no fireworks and no tricks
Those who have seen it of late. since it
has approached completion. have been
much pleased, and passed few comments
other than that, considering the state of
the work, the Library ought to claim it
now for its own and deny the artist the
lingering delight of initiating Pygmalion.
Besides outsiders who have been pleased.
there are the artists, all of whom speak
highly of it. a few days ago I heard
a discussion about the work between the
well-known Spanish painter ViIlegas and
Signor CALI the President OF the ancient
Academy of St Luke. They sought for
faults to criticisc. but except for trifles,
found nothing they did not admire. The
