to let me have photograph of his
house on the Anclote. If ne assents,
! am certainly going to include that
as one of the charms of the town.
Tourists from the North are not cas-
lily caught by the claims put forth
by the different communities in this
state. They get used to being told
that this town or that town has the
most wonderful scenery and the most
charming climate in the world, but
when they know that an artist of Mr.
Inness's celebrity has picked out this
locality because he believes it to have
more uniqueness and distinction than
other places possess then they will
say: well, there must be something
to Tarpon Springs, if an artist like
Inness lives there"
That is why | say that sometimes
it seems to me that those Of us who
like Tarpon Springs and are glad to
live and hope to induce others
of our fellow men and women to feel
that way-do not always appreciate
the advantages that fortune has given
us. If / were Sentaor Hawkins and
he surely is a public-spirited and
thoughtful mani should certainly
try to induce Mr.. Inness to put in an
evening or two on the porch Of the
club house on the golf course, and
paint from there one or two canvases
showing the magnificent sunsets, It
is the best place in town from which
to see them. Then when Mr.. Inness
has made for the picture one of those
gold plates which are put upon the
frames when the pictures are hung in
galleries, with this legend: Sunset:
from the Golf Club House, Tarpon4
Springs, Florida" thousands of peo-
pie will hear of Tarpon Springs who
never heard before.
Now, about Mr.. Inness's. art J. do
not feel quite capable Of technically
judging. like his pictures and know
that many thousands of others like
them. But no man can please every
one. When / was at his house the
other day, he showed me two canvases
that he now has on the easels and at
which he is working. It seemed to me
that he had caught the Florida atmos-
phere most charmingly in these pic
lures, and I confidently predict great
success for them.

Leader last week:
Editor Evening Leader,
Tarpon Springs, Fla:
The Edison Shop gallery is at 41st
street and Fifth avenue, New York
city, just across from the Public IL
brary. 1t is only a few doors from
my office, and / frequently go down
there to look at the exhibitions of pic
lures by American artists, which at
intervals are hung upon its walls.
These reflections are prompted by the
fact that just at the present moment,
at this gallery, there are on exhibi-
ton ID large canvases by one of
Americas foremost artists, and
should like to see them. l refer to
Mr.. George Inness, jr., man who is
well known and much honored here
about. This collection has been gath
cred from number of sources and it
is quite representative of his best
work. 1t has attracted much atten-
ton in the art world of New York
city and has been visited by large
number of those who appreciate the
best efforts Of our artists.
Mr.. George Inness, jr., is, in my
Judgment, one of the very best Of
those artists who are making Ameri-
can landscape famous, and it some
times seems to me that the people of
Tarpon Springs do not always value
correctly the advantages that we have
here. The fact that Mr.. Inness makes
this town his abiding place and has
built for himself on the Anclote river
a charming rustic winter home, is an
asset to the town that ought to be
more thoroughly emphasized. He is
about the only man in this vicinity
who at the present time is doing any
thing that will be imperishable in val
ne. Years after almost all of those
who now reside within the borders -ci
our town are dead and gone, and for
gotten, the pictures of Mr.. Inness vii
hang in our museums and public gel
