PAINTER and sculptor, Alphonse Legros.
the print department of the New York
Public Library placed on exhibition
small group of his work. There is little
that is magnetic about this competent
and thoughtful French artist, but his
work inspires respect and often the kind
Of admiration that one gives without en-
thusiasm As a matter Of fact, Legros
was appreciated least OF all by his own
countrymen, and as long ago as 1863,
when he was twenty-siX years old, the
artist took up his residence in London,
where in due time he became professor
at South Kensington and in University
College He also became naturalized
British subject. Perhaps this latter fact
may be taken into account in dealing
with any Continental European estimate
of the man. Beraldi finds his work al
ways austere and rude and declares that
in the handling OF modern subjects Le-
gros exhibited a sort Of 'maladresse
voulue." He was joyless, averred the
same critic, and his place was not in
France, but in "a country Of spleen
England took to him well"
on the other hand, Frederick We'd
more, who was familiar with virtually
all Of the plates Legros executed, finds
that in him it is the conception that
dominates, rather than the means by
which it is to be expressed. There is an
intellectual quality in his work, espe-
cially in his portraiture, which is de-
cidedly masculine. and which in some OF
his best plates is truly penetrating. One

entertaining for their picturesque vivid
ness in presenting the story of Frank
Goodchild and Thomas Idle, but also as
emphasizing anew tho keen observation
of details that Hogarth invariably

bining these so as TO produce unity OF
effect. Hogarth was a good deal more
than an illustrator In such work as this:

characterizations obtained, II Is refresh

true painters way of working. While
some Of these pictures are cracked as to

a good state Of preservation.
The story itself. as Hogarth developed

The promptness with which the New
York Public Library took effective no
tice Of the death Of Lcgros by gathering
from it's print collection examples OF his
work illustrates anew one OF the prac-
teal functions OF such an institution.
While this library enjoys the possession
of a very exceptional print collection
there seems no reason why libraries and
museums in other cities should not, with
comparatively little expense, acquire coll
lections large enough to contain at least
few specimens by most Of the best
known masters. Except for rare or eX-
ceptionally fine examples. the cost of
prints is surprisingly little, much less
than for original graphic art work in
any other form.
Not only for their value as art works,
but also for their function In supplying
historical information and sidelights on
famous personages. prints should have
their place in modern art museums. Out

New Orleans La, March 13.-Man-
ager Chance has received a telegram
from Steinfeldt i'm which the old third
base star said his trunk was at the de-
pot when he learned waivers had been
asked on him and he asked for instruc-
tions. Chance answered the message
telling "Steiny" if he was willing to
sign the contract sent him he might
report. He is expected TO join the
team at once, but what the outcome
of it will be depends entirely on his
showing.
Zimmerman will be on third base
unless the veteran is fast enough to
take his place. The time has not eX-
pired yet on asking waivers on Stein
feldt, so II is not known whether some
other National league club has claimed
him or not.

had claimed Ginger" Beaumont on the

MEANS REVIVAL
OF PRO- RACES
EDMUND LAMY WILL BECOME
OUT-AND-OUT PROFESSION
AL NEXT WINTER-MAY
MEET BAPTlE.

Saranac Lake, N. Y. March 13-Ed-
mund Lamy the indoor and outdoor
national amateur skating champion at
all distances, will find himself an out
and-out professional on the ice next
winter. This is because he is also
baseball player and has signed a con-
tract to play with the Mansfield pro-
fessional league team of the Ohio State
league this summer.
Lamy says that he is going into the
professional field with his eyes open
and. in fact, has contemplated becom-
ing a professional skater for some
time. His status as an amateur has
been the subject of considerable de-
bate on the part of skating union OFF,
Gals at various times recently.
This announcement by Lamy, prob
ably means revival of interest in
professional skating For the last two
seasons there have been only two pre-
fessional skaters Of first rank i'm the
country, Norval Baptie and Morris
Wood Races between them became
so monotonous that they were no long
er good drawing cards, and as a result
both men have devoted their time to
fancy skating, in preference to speed
contests. There have been numerous
disputes as TO whether Lamy or Baptie
is the fastest skater, but the distinc-
ton between the amateur and the pro-
fessional has prevented them from
meeting. Before next season. however.
If is expected several other leading
amateur skaters will be induced to
enter the professional class. and some
interesting contests may be expected.
Baptie has for years been cndeavor-
ing to arouse interest in professional
skating but has met with poor success.
The announcement that Lamy had
turned pro" was received with much
pleasure by the champion.
