The year just ended will hold a salient place
In the annals of American art. 1t has Wit
messed the formation of the American Fedora
ton of Arts, organization from whose ac-
tivites much good is to be expected, and it
has been marked by great increase in the
importation of works of art made possible by
the readjustment of the tariff TO students of

BILE since it brought forward at the Metropoh-
tan Museum the Hudson Fulton exhibition of
paintings by Rembrandt, Halls, Yer Nicer, Hob
bema and other seventeenth century masters.
1t is interesting to know, by the way, that from
the opening of this exhibition on September 20
to it's close on November 80 it visited by
2SS 1O3 persons. We may appropriately note
here too that not content with publishing

shown. In this as in many other matters the
Museum discloses not only breadth of policy
but the most solcitous care for detail.
1t is indeed cheering TO observe an extraordi-
nary activity in the management of the Mu-
scum which is manifested in every department
and is plainly reacting, moreover, upon those

Boston, and presented by Mrs Russell Sage. 1t

The acquisition Of American pictures goes on.
We noted the other day the purchase of Mr..
Sergeant Kendalrs Psyche" from the winter
Academy, with money out of the Hearn fund,
and the anonymous gift of An Opaescent

for Old masters. In this department Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan, who has already done
much for the Museum. has made another sig

the Museum faces the year with a whole
