his credit. however Mr.. St Gaudens might we'll
be content to so down to posterity the sculp-
tor of one work. The "Faun" is an exquisite
thing. The only modern work that it can
fairly be named with is the famous Infant st.
John of Dubois in the Luxembourg. 1t is not
alone the perfect craftsmanship that gives it
high rank nor is it the fecitous employment of
that craftsmanship in the expression of a win
ming conception that chiefly counts. The great
point is that the 'Faun' has style that il bears
the ndehnable mark of genius which sets
work apart from all its fellows. That mark is
rare enough in this collection it is in every
other that is brought forward by contemporary
sculptors, whether here or abroad: but this is
not to say that American sculpture is without
distinction. There is edifying abundance of
work notable for original qualities, exploited
with the aid of polished and sometimes powerful
technique. Mr.. Paul Bartett's equestrian statue
of Lafayette for Paris. more noticeable for
ClcVerness and elegance than for more monu-
mental qualities is perhaps unfairly represented
in the small model here presented. Ii lacks the
force ard larCenesS of style that a work of the
sort ought to possess. But the Michael Angelo"
of this sculptor Is, in It's rugged picturesqueness
a really attractive performance, and a daring
theme is treated with knowledge and true sculp-
tural grasp in his Indian Dancer" For the
caseful of small bronzes, not only modelled but
cast by Mr.. Bartlett, there can be only unquali-
fled praise. These frogs, birds fishes turtles and
are much more than deftly realistic por-
traits. They distinguished bits of plastic
art, trfes-like some of Barye's trifes-into
which the fruits of wise enthusiasm are CON-
summately packed.

There was nothing sensational
