minneapolis and New-Eork This jury held It's
meetings in Buffalo in the week beginning July 2
and made their report the superior jury on July
26 The fact that the exhibition Of fine arts Is
picked exhibition, and that almost all OF the WORKS
therein exhibited familiar 10 the jurors before
their work began, greatly expedited the making OF
awards.
The fine arts jury as a whole prefaces its report
TO the superior jury with the following statement
The Jury Of awards for the division OF fine arts
has 10 report that the exhibition Of fine arts in
the present exposition is the most complete ana
Representative exhibition of American art ever yet
got together. Almost all the works collected were
solicited for the exhibition by the director OF me
arts and no unsolicited work was accepted with
out the approval of expert professional jury so
uhat the mere preselce Of work OF art in TINS col
,lection is of itself certificate OF merit Cnder
these circumstances ii has seemed necessary 10
the jury 10 make very large number OF recon-
1nendatons OF awards. in order TO do even partial
Justice the work exhibited
In view of the extraordinary and altogether ex-
ceptional merit of the work in sculpture exhibited
by Augustus ST. Gaudens. the jury unanimously
and earnestly recommends that the award OF
special diploma and medal of honor. above and
apart from all other awards, be created solely for
his work
This recommendation Of the jury for fine arts
was adopted by superior jury, and the special
award was created by the executive committee on
August 2 and this great distinction Of a medal Of
honor the grand and chief award in the entire
Pan-American Exposition has been given 10 Mr
Augustus ST. Gaudens. II is in line with the
success Of this eminent artist in Paris last year,
when his work including the equestrian statue
OF General Sherman, which is exhibited for the
first time in the United States at the Pan-An.eri-
can Exposition and for other work. including the
memorial Colonel Shaw, erected on Boston Com
mon, and the memorial to Robert Louis Steven
son, TO be placed in Edinburgh. he was made an
through the preliminary grade OF cheVaher, ana
was awarded a grand prix, medal OF honor The
Jury awards in fine arts for Group No. g. incud-
II ing the etchings and engrayings made special
report concerning American wood engravings stat
ing that the general average OF merit is so high
that difficult do full justice every worthy
exhibitor. As the art seems now 10 be dying from
OF support, it seems hardly probable that 50
fine an exhibition will ever be again.
The fine jury in concluding its report re-
corded its approval OF the artistic laying out OF
the grounds OF the exposition and the general ef-
feet OF the buildings and commended worthy OF
high praise and OF such recompense the superior
jury might see ft TO grant the work Of Henry
Rustin in the electric lighting of the exposition and
that OF the director OF color Mr. c. Y. Turner.
While the list OF awards may seem large one il
IS in reality comparatively small. considering the
excellence and high quality Of the exhibits in the
fine arts exhibition. There about 100 exhibits
in ALL and the fine arts jury also examined large
number OF pictures and pieces sculpture in spe-
cial buildings exhibited by the Central and South
American countries. Awards made in these
after careful consideration, and it was matter OF
satisfaction 10 the fine arts jury that II found IN
these special exhibits some works worthy OF the
highest commendation
