BICYCLES POPULAR.
Sales Indicate Bicycling Returning to
Favor.

Bicycling is returning to favor. In
the. minds Of those who follow the
course of such pastimes, there is nc
question of the revival Of interest in
the wheel. BICYCLE manufacturers
have increased their output in recent
months and the public at large has
increased it's purchases. This is due,
in some measure, according to the
board of control of the National
Cycling association, to the great i'm
Irovement in roads, brought about by
the automobile. The bicycle rider has
found new delight in touring which
was unknown in the day when the
wheel was<in the zenith OF it's popu-
larity. He can go, if not SO far, at
least everywhere that the motor car
or the motorcycle goes and encounter
conyeniences, in the way OF supplies,
air, roadside inns. that were undream-
ed Of a few yearsSsago. Reports N
dictate, further, that wofnen>riders are
increasing in number and that, Of
course, is the surest sign of the BIZ
cycles return to popular favor. Ply
sicians, too, are urging It's use, re-
commencing it for both men and wo-
men who need stimulating exercise IN
the open air.
The popularity Of bicycling is not
confined to any. particular section

distinction and style. but these pictures
have something more than this: they
have refinement and elegance. 1t is a
question whether a finer picture has
been painted in modern times than the
portrait of the late Mrs Henry White,
which is included in this collection.

the rendering of textures inimitable
and the pose and expression peculiarly
happy, but here is an Interpretation of

Sargent Exhibits Eighteen.

There are two features of this eX-
hibition which are most pronounced:
one is a collection of eighteen paint
fnSs by John Singer Sargent. which oc-
cupies one entire room, gallery G. and
Is impressively fine and beautiful,
collection which would grace and en-
rich any museum in the world; the
other is an assemblage of paintings by
artists in good standing. but of uncon-
Eentiohal viewpoints, which is to be
found in gallery d.
To those who have ALWAYS associated
art with beauty and believed that the
mission of the painter is to perpetuate
IoveIiness rather than ugliness, this
assemblage of paintings will come
somewhat as a shock and surprise A
picture which does not possess the ele-
ments of beauty either in subject or
rendering has. it would seem. little ex-
cuse for existence. Such works can
not he criticised. Obviously they are
well done-even more than this, cleverly
done-and when shown as here they
have the approval of five accomplished
artists. but the why and the wherefore
OF them is certainly far to seek 1t
may be that this phase of art is purely
contemporary. refecting.to certain ex-
tent some of the ugliness and corrup-
ton to be found in our national life.

dominate or obliterate that which is
good and fine. abundant example of
which will be found in this exhibition
The Sargent collection one may con-
fdently prophesy will be much longer
remembered than the unlovely works
which startle and bewilder both the
thoughtful critic and the casual OBJ

ity blown away. for. as the late William

as fine a thing as Mr.. Tarbell has done

truly American and at the same time pc
culiarly contemporary.
Frank Benson shows two of his delight
full outdoor figure paintings and por-
trait, which is no less pleasing. Joseph

represented. as are also Philip Hale and
his wife, Lillian Westcott Hale; Mar

predominant in this exhibition. but some
excellent examples of the latter are to be

The. Corcoran Gallery of Arts sixth
biennial exhibition, which opened yes
terday with private view and recep-
tion. is essentially cotemporary- 1t is,
furthermore. widely representative.
For these reasons it will be found of
exceptional interest.
The exhibition is larger this year
than heretofore. comprising over 4oo
paintings. filing not only all OF the
galleries on the second floor, but the
atrium and the Semi-circular exhibit
ton gallery as we'll. With but few en-
ceptions, the pictures shown have been
painted within the past two or three
years.
The high standard set by ne five
, previous biennial exhibitions is I'M
douhtedly upheld. many of the eN-
hibits being exceptionally fine. but the
representation is broader than hereto
fore. and the variety of work SHOWN
greater. That many of the paintings
are very good goes without saying, but
that not a few are of such character as
to arouse comment and question is also
fact. The moderniStic movement IN
art is difficult of comprehension. and
that movement is particularly well eN-
emplified in this exhibition. BY this is
not meant those eNtrava 2ancieS which
under the names of ''post-impression-
ISM, ''cubism. etc, have falsely
paraded art. but rather the works of
those painters who. possessing scholar
ship have chosen radical themes for
Interpretation and have employed in
dlTIdual1stic modes of expression.
Whether or not the results are pleasing
and valuable the public can decide.
The pictures constituting this ex
hibition Were selected by committee
of artists-Childe Ha, sam of New York,
chairman: Philip ale of Boston,
George Fellows of New York, Charles
Morris Young of Philadelphia and Wal
ter Griffin, lately of Pars-all of whom
are of distinction, and were chosen
from at least three times as many
works which were submitted for con-
sideration- The awards, as previously
announced in The Star were made and
the pictures constituting the exhibition
arranged and hung by this same COM
mittee.
