heartily pledged. Two sites were dis
cussed. one at Broad and Pine streets,
the other at FairmOunt Park The first
named site seemed the most accessible
location. The site at FairmOunt Park
commends itself on account of the now
existing Wilstach collection, which, un-
der the terms OF the bequest, can only
be properly located at FairmOunt Park.
While the support of the different art
societies seems to be unanimous, and
while it seems probable that if suit
able fireprOof building is erected, the
city Will receive the Widener, Elkins,
and the johnson collections. thus in

lection, over 1900 notable works of art,

FOOTBALL ON SKATES
TRIED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 29.-Brighton had
the distinction Of introducing new
game-footbau on roller skates on
Saturday evening at West street rink.
The game was more in the nature of
trial. but afforded numerous spectators
a good idea OF the possibilities of this
new form OF soccer"
II was an excessively noisy game TO
begin with, and il was quite apparent
that il viii demand from the player
quite as much daring as the outdoor
game. although in this instance the
players controlled their movements
wonderfully, stopping and describing
all manner or eXUraVagant curves on
the very shortest notice 10 Jude some

Bumps We're Of very frequent occur
renee. and the players We're sent 10
gross with amusing regularity, but,
happily, without hurt. Combination
was tried with a measure of success,
but Il good long punt was the most
effective movement in the plaverS'
repertoire. This was not so easy as
it sounds, for the ball has been secretly
weighted by the man0gers so that the
handsome mirrors Of the hall might
not be damaged.
The game was played by six players
a side-three forwards, two backs
and a goal keeper. The rules were
much the same as those Of ordinary
association. The goal posts were care
fully eighted with nfty-stX-pound
weights each. but when one team OF
forwards made a characteristic rush
the game had 10 be mOmentarily sus-
pended until repairs 10 the goal posts
could be executed.

In visits To the studios at this season
OF the year the visitor Is often surprised
at the number of canvases which have
been turned with the face TO the wall.
A degree OF mystery prevails, and one
often suspects that the visit has inter-
rupted some WCrk which has been
hastily put away ana new canvas
substituted for the one which occupied
the easel but a moment previous TO the
admission Of the caller. The nearness
of the coming exhibition at the Cor
coran Gallery OF Art is the explanation
of all this mystery, and the artists are
now working hard, although somewhat
secretly. in completing work for the ex-
hibition which Is so near at hand, as
the last day for sending in work is Jan
uary o.
It may be said that from all OF the
information now obtainable the success
Of this first attempt of the CorcOran
Gallery of Art 10 hold an exhibition Of
contemporary oil painting by American
artists. is already assured, and that the
selection Of pictures now available is
sufficient TO make this exhibit one Of the
most prominent of the year. Il is prob
able that all the rooms on the second
floor OF the art gallery. with perhaps
the exception of the one which con-
tains the loan collection of Senator
Clark, will be set apart for the exhibi-
ton. which be open 10 the public in
February next
one Of the significant features is the
alliance OF Harrison s. Norris with the
officials OF the coTCuTaH Gallery Of Art
in the interest Of this exhibition For
many years Mr. Norris coupled the pO-
sition of secretary and manager Of the
Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts,
and In this position, through the sue
cessfuI management of the annual eX-
hibitions of this art institution, he was
probably brought into personal relations
with a larger number OF artists than
any other person I'm a similar position
in this country. His active support Of
the coming exhibition and his favorable
personal acquaintance with the best
artists of this country. viii have de-
cided influence i'm bringing 10 this city
many notable pictures, which might
otherwise go 10 the 12d annual exhibi-
tiOn of the Pennsylvania academy.
which will be on view at the same time
as the exhibition TO be held IN the Cor
coran gallery. It Is important that the
first exhibition OF this kind 10 be held
IN this city should be a success, IN Or
der that the movement toward making
Washington a more prominent art cen
ter may secure such an Endorsement

CHICAGO BANKS
BREAK RECORDS

CHICAGO. Dec. 29-Chicago's banks
nave beaten all past financial records
in the city with a total of S11. 600. 000, 600
or business during 1906. Roughly estI-
mated the volume is SS5S. 100000 more
than last year, nearly two billions ahead
Of 1894 and almost three times the rec
ord of ten years ago.
The volume of bank exchanges is
accepted as the best thermometer Of
general business conditions in the cen
trdl West. IN 1890 total clearings were
81. .e93. 145,904, and five years increased this
total only a little more than $500 OOO, 900.
The Increase of 1906 over 1905 represents
the growth of ten years along old stand

Fairmount Park Art Association, a So

be spoken of as a has been" and
various excuses that he had lost his
nerve through being interfeTed with
frequently by the white boys were
made for him. Austin IS as good a rider
as he ever was. He is a good post rid
er and can put up a good finish, but
is not much of a general through a
race. When it comes to roughing 1t he
is just as often the sinner as the sinned
against. Neither A. Martin nor Aubu-

seven wins, respectively, during the
