LOSS IN ART EXHIBITS.
American Water Color Society
President FarOrs Endorsement.

Public exhibitions of works Of art in New York
City no longer pay was the statement made yes
terday by J. Q. Nicoll 4 member Of the council
Of the National Academy Of Design and president
of the American Water Color Society. in a talk
with a reporter for The Tribune If some man
wants help the educational side Of art" Mr.
Nicon continued. ''hc should advance enough
money each year enable some institution like
the American Water Color Society 10 open its cx-
bibtons the public Tree Of charge.
Now the American Water Color Society is year
Il out OF pocket the tune g. GOO with
out any special benefit TO the society ITSELF Mr..
Nicon said. as its exhibitions held only for
the purpose of enabling all good water color
fists to exhibit their work and allow the public
to enjoy the work exhibited
Continuing. Mr.. NicoII said: We charge ad-
mission fee Of only . cents which, of course does
not begin TO pay expenses. On the educational
side the society invites teachers in public schools
TO bring their pupils TO the exhibition Saturday
mornings, free OF expense. We believe that art
exhibitions should be free to the public. The
perience OF the American Water Color Society is
not exceptional For a number of years the
hibitions of the National Academy OF Design have
yielded no revenue above expenses. a gift OF
5000 a year would enable the American Water
Color Society to give its exhibitions free to the
public. But the fact is Mr.. Nicon said. there
is no building in New York City suitable for a
comprehensive exhibition Of current art. If the
painters. sculptors and other artists could hold
large exhibition every year II would attract
wide attention.
The annual exhibition of the American Water
Color Society will open April 2s in Fine Arts
Galleries in West 9TH street

Public Cases.

Justice Bowling, in tho Supreme Court, signed
yesterday an order for Supreme Court grand jury
for the month OF January the application Of
District Attorney Jerome. who said that there
grave and important matters which he desired to
submit TO that body. In making his application the
District Attorney said It was his purpose TO have
the additional grand jury devote its entire time
these matters, which could not be taken up by the
two grand juries allowed under the law.
The condition OF the public business in this
county" said Mr.. Jerome, lis such that the time
OF tie to regular grand jaries that sit IS entirely
occupied in dsp0sing of the current business
There have been large number of matters arising
that require, in my opinon-whatever the result oc
such investigation may bean investigation by g
grand jurs-.
investigations Of Tic character / nave in mind
are such that unless they continuously pursued
there IS a loss 20 the community great waste
Of effort And it is most important that when a
