It is rumored that the directorship
Of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art to
succeed the late General di Cesnola, has
been offered to Daniel G. French, but
Mr.. French states that the board of di
rectors has made no decision. The post
is a difficult one to fill, as it requires
a wide knowledge Of art and much ex
ecutive ability.
1t is strongly probable, says the
American Art News, that Edward Rob
inson, director Of the Boston Museum
will be the man chosen. Mr.. Robinson
entire life has been devoted to worl
that fits him admirably for the posi-
ton. He has studied in Athens and wa'
for eight years secretary of the Mu
nicipal Art commission Of Boston.
The Academy of Design invited thu
Society Of Western Artists to send s
selection of twenty to thirty pictures
from it's annual exhibition and the 80
ciety accepted the invitation. Th'
academy exhibition will open in New
York next week. This is the first tim
western society will be represented.
