EXHIBIT FROM THE sAckwooDs

Primitive Methods in All Domestic
Industries Prevail in Kentucky.
Far away from the railroads in the
mountains of Kentucky and contigu-
Gus states there exists people which
knows little of modern civilization.
Now and then a traveller, searching
for adventure, penetrates these wild
ernesses and brings back interesting
narratives relating to these isolated
mountaineers. A letter has been re-
ceived at the worlds fair headquarters
from G. Huhlein of Louisville, who
has just returned from the mountain
country, and whose observations lead
him to suggest that an exhibit be
made at the worlds fair to show the
social life and domestic industries OF
the Kentucy mountaineer as we'll as
of the mountaineers of the great Ap-
palachian country in several adjoin-
ing states. He says: "One realizes,
indeed, that the most attractive study
of man is man when moving about
the primitive people in the Kentucky
Cumberlands; they are still spinning
wool and cotton of their own raising
on the primitive spinning wheel, and
wool carding, walnut dying of home
spun fabrics, ETC., are being done by
them as in the days of the Pilgrim
fathers. | hazard nothing in saying
that the most popular department in
your whole exposition would be one
in which these mountaineers in their
native garb would move about their
daily round of duties as now prac-
ticed in the mountains. An exhibit
of their spinning wheels, looms, log
school houses, bee-gums, graveyards,
home made housekeeping utensils.
hand mills, and the singing of their
quaint and plaintive mountain ballads
by mountain boys and girls-In short
reproduction in the actual life of
the mountains by these people tnem-
selves in a department of your expo
sition would be immensely interest
ing to every visitor. The educational
value would be very great and your
sociological department would not be
at all complete without some such de-
partment as l herein suggest.

Apropos Of the National Gallery We quote from
The Morning Post" the following interesting
note IN regard TO a well known picture hitherto
attributed TO Velasquez:
The famous Alteration Of the Shepherds" in
the Spanish Room at the National Gallery, has
been placed 10 the credit Of Zurbaran. The
Alteration of the Shepherds has been in the
National Gallery for nearly fifty years. and un-
I'll lately IL has always been regarded par
ticularly fine example Of the earlier manner of
Nelasquez Now, however the attrbutiOn is
changed. and in the newest edition Of the cata-
logue The reasons for the change set forth.
In the first place. II is stated that the scheme
OF color does not correspond with that OF the
other known early works Of NelasqueZ, and that
the picture certainly does not belong his later
period In the second place it is pointed out
that il shows decided affinity with the four
pictures by Zurbaran in The Palace of San Telmo
at Seville, not only i'm color. but in every detail
Of treatment. Finally. il is admitted that the
attribution 10 Nelasquez was an error. and that
ZuTbarsn was responsible for the picture. which
may be considered the best he ever painted.
Admitting all this, il is curious that the au-
thorship Of the picture should 80 long have re-
mained unsettled. That accomplished critic.
the late r A N Stevenson evidently had no
doubt that II was the work of Velasquez for in
his admirable book on the Spanish master. pub
lished only three or four years ago. he men
tions the "Adoration Of the Shepherds among
the typical works of the painters earlier period.
and accompanies his note with reproduction Of
the picture The Alteration of the shepherds.
which is a fine picure. by whomsoever painted.
once belonged 10 Louis Philippe. and il was
bought at the sale OF the depOsed Monarck's pict-
ures in London for f2,0J0 This seems a small
price, but il is large compared with that paid
for undOuhted NelasqueZ AT Trafalgar Square
"a picture Of which the National Gallery has
every reason 10 be proud This is the bust por-
trait Of Philip ~ the Philip of the national
collection. and one Of the finest portraits in the
world. This masterpiece bought in Paris
in the sixties for 1000, and one Of the Ruys-
daels, in the National Gallery the Land

The first OF the big exhibitions of the season
Is that which the National Sculpture Society
viii open. IN collaboration with the New-York
Florists Club al the Madison Square Garden on
October 80. Displays of sculpture have always
suffered in New York from lack Of space and
unsatisfactory conditions generally. The use
OF greenery At the Fine Arts Building has been
effective. and very often individual works Of
sculpture have been seen 10 advantage at the
exhibitions Of the Architectural League: but
even al the best the scuiptors have hitherto en-
5oyed fewer facilities than they have needed
In a place as large as that available at the Mad
sson Square Garden. with lofty roof, and with
plenty Of flowers and plants. they only need to
provide good sculpture in order TO make
notable impression. The arrangement of the
SCULPTURE in the Paris Exposition Of 1900 showed
how much can be achieved when the conditions
are practically those Of the open air. II is 10
be hoped tnat the National Sculpture Society
Will avoid the one crying defect of the exhibition
at Paris TO which We have referred, namely,
-Overcrowding. The forthcoming display VIII
lose much of its value il dozens Of mediocre
and even worse pieces of statuary are accepted
simply that a great splash NAV be made. The
idea Of exhibiting sculpture in the open air, and
amid natural surroundings, is, Of course, not
simply 10 show the sculpture at its best. but
20 illustrate one important TO which it may
be put Better therefore, a modest collection,
5udciousy distributed than huge mass Of
marble, bronze and plaster. pitchfOrked to-
sgether merely because there is plenty Of room
sn the Madison Square Garden.

The great artistic event in Paris has been the
transportation Of the famous Dutuit collection
from Rouen 10 the Petit Palais, of the Champs
Elysees. where. as the property Of the Paris Mu-
nicpality IL is being housed and arranged with
a view 10 the opening Of the public exhibition in
January. The marvels of this collection pro-
vide material enough for the commentator but
the papers abroad have had good deal To say
also about the personality of Auguste Dutuit
He has been described a miser but as a mat
ter of fact. he was simply a devoted collector
whose private life was comfortable as IL was
happy. His wife quite understood and appre-
ciated his ambition, which was 10 leave unique
museum for the benefit Of art workers of every
kind. He never spent centime on vain show
or luxury. but. considering his aim, who could
find fault with him? n is said that he wore
threadbare clothes. SO that when he entered
curiosity shops I'm pursuit Of ola enCravings and
other treasures the propretors would not al
once raise their prices, as he feared they would
do il he appeared in fine garments. Never was
a benefactor more thoughtful than n Dutuit
In addition 10 the collection he left 1000 600
francs 10 he used by the Paris Municipality in
the installation and care Of his treasures.

In London. as the dispatches from our CORE
.Epondsnt have recently stated, the first Of the
lRutumn art shows are not inspiring But artis-
Eic Londoners are not without interesting mat
fers 10 discuss. among them the misnanage-
ment OF the National Gallery Of British Art
st AIillbsnk. The rejection Of a bust of Mr.
ALFRED East executed by Mr. Frampton-a por-
trait of q painter in good standing by a sculptor
ot equal repute-has excited disgust. and has
precipitated columns Of polite abuse upon the
heads Of the authorities. The trustees Of the
National Gallery who control Sir Henry Tate's
legacy. a. well as the huge building In Trafalgar
Square. stated in their official letter OF refusal
shsf 1T is not customary for the National Gal
lleTy Board 10 accept the works Of living artists
except under the special conditions OF the Chan
trey Beouest-" 1t is promptly pointed out that
when they accepted the Tate pictures the paint
ems OF most OF them were still living, and that
they have also accepted a large series OF can
vases painted ana presented by Mr.. G. F.
Watts. The truth is that British oflciaIdom
has always been source Of trouble and anxiety
90 artists and cOnnoisseurs. It is hardly fair
70 say that the trustees of the National Gallery
are incapable of understanding any art which
does not bear an archaeological stamp-which is
the genial way in which one irate critic ex-
presses IL. But IL does seem if ideas OF prog
ress were not very welcome 10 that body. and
there is no doubt at all that in their hands the
Tate Gallery is rapidly becoming the laughing
stock Of all people Of intelligence" The works
of living men that might strengthen the col
lection are rejected while fatty mediocre sur
viVals Of the early Victorian epoch are cordi-
ally received. The fine building al ATuhapl.
contains a number OF fine works OF ar, but
these are jOstled by scores OF pictures 50 IRE
deemaby bad that after a stroll thronpb tba
rooms one feels as though one had lust exneri-
snoed a particularly trying nightmare.
Tn striking contrast 10 British policy ,,-h..
living men are concerned, is that OF certain ror
tinental galleries visited not long since NV NJ
Claude Phillips. the curator OF the Wallace col
lection. He has found a portrait of Mr. James
Lavery In the State collection at Brussels and
he notes that the same artist is represented ,n
the Neue PinakOthek at Munich and In the
Luxembourg Yet this clever painter is not onl,,
unknown al the Tate Gallery. but is said TO have
given up exhibiting at the Royal Academy. be-
cause OF the treatment he has received al the
hands OF the hanging committees there. The
odd thing is that II the British official is made
quate 10 his artistic responsibilities the public
is not indifferent. During 1901 no fewer than
169.1l3 persons visited the collections at the
British Museum week days and AS s95 on
Sundays, being an increase Of nearly 10000 on a
total for 1900 All art exhibitions in London
are well attended. Why. then. with SO faithful
