The Great Portraits.

Great portraiture involves so much
more than the Selling of likeness and
character merely that it is perhaps worth
While to attempt in a few words, to elll-
cidate the problem of the painted portrait
as 1t has been understood by some of the
masters Of the past. In any work of
great portraiture one finds so many
things in addition to likeness respected
that 1t seems but truism to say that the
more effectively character and individu-
atty are secured the more perfect is the
canvas as a whOle-in other words, the
more complete is 1t as a work of art
And SO it happens one cannot recall a
truly great portrait that is not a MASTER
piece of composition as well; for the ele-
ment of composition exists as much, it's
demands are as eXacting, in the placing
of one human being in a certain rectan-
gular area, as in the placing of many in
that given space. Perhaps no portrait
however we'll painted, is really a great
work which suggests that the sitter has
posed for it; that the posture was taken
for the purpose OF, being painted SO. But
it is curious fact that the more super
fetal. the more obvious the arrange
ment," the weaker the more incompetent
is usually the painting itself as techni-
cal performance 1t is as if the painter
whose technical skill is slight possesses
also slight mentality. The Dutch and
Flemish portraitists-the great ones

A GREAT BOAT RACE.
Eastern Crew will Row with

Near BeIOlt.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, March 31.-[ Special. !
athletic association of the University OF
Wisconsin, is now laying plans for the
holding of the greatest regatta ever held
in the West. The proposed course is a
straight one of three miles extending
from the city of Beoit north on the Rock
river. The advantages of the course
over any other in the West are many.
The proposed contesting crews i'll all
probability will be either Harvard or
Yale versus Wisconsin.
During the past few weeks Manager
Fisher has been quietly at work i'll the
scheme and present indications are that
the affair will prove to be more than mere
talk He has travelled over many miles
of territory of late looking for Il LOCATION
and, although he found several water
courses that were just as satisfactory as
Beoit course from the fact that along
the entire three-mile course the river
bank is bordered by the Chicago K
North Western railroad.
The contesting crews must at least
have sufficient cash to pay expenses. Ihe
only remedy for this is in the running OF
an observation train. 1t is claimed that
a train to carry 5000 people could be
easily arranged Each of these passen-
gers would willingly give 50 for seat
on this observation train. which would
follow the race from start to finish, NOV
ing with the crews.
Manager Fisher has already received
satisfactory letters from the Eastern
crews. 1t is proposed to hold the regatta
some time during the month of July.
