A dispatch from Pittsburgh states
that the exhibition just opened at the
Carnegie Institute contains 373 paint
ings from artists of America, England,
France, Scotland, Italy, Belgium, Hol-
land, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain
and Switzerland. Three prizes have
been awarded. The gold medal, with
$500, has gone TO Abbott Thayer for
his picture of young Woman in Olive

Algernon Talmage, has won the silver

OF War and the Secretary Of the Navy
issued orders for consultation with the
commission over the designing of all
medals Or decorations authorized. This
policy has borne admirable fruit, A
really beautiful work has been produced
in the Victory Medal by James f.
Fraser, who has also designed the Dis
tlnguished Service Cross for the navy.
A design for a naval medal by Paul
Manship has been accepted, and another
design by him for the army Congress
slonal medal was under consideration
when the commissions report went to
press. Designs for insignia have been
accepted from Herbert Adams and A. A,
Weinman, and the latter has also de-
signed Victory button, which is to be
presented to every soldier who enlisted
during the war. Edwin Rowland Blash-
field made the drawing for the certificate
going from the War Department to all
wounded men. For the American ceme-
teries In France Charles A. Platt de-
signed the headstone which is to be
erected at each grave. In these and in
other ways the commission has sought
to establish right principles in Ameri-
can works of art commemorative of the
war. Part. Of its work has been the
preparation, st the request of Congress,
of report suggesting suitable monu-
ments and other memorials, and the best
methods Of securing artistic excellence
in such things. The best tribute that
we can pay to the commission lies IN
the statement that it labors increasingly
for the affirmation Of good taste. The

sented are from the collection of the
late H. Ephraim Benguiat, who spec
ialized in Spanish, Italian and Oriental
art. They include some extraordinary
textiles. The throne velvet bearing the
double eagle Of the house of Hapsburg,
which dates from the reign of Philip
II, is one Of the most glorious hangings
ever seen in this country. The embroid-
cries of silver and gold are set upon
ruby ground. The effect is somberly
magnificent. But Of even rarer signifi-
cance is the great Alhambra throne
rug, which is described as unique, and
undoubtedly deserves the epithet. The

Art in Black
And White

A tride belated, but still before the
Spring Academy comes to a close, we
renew comment on the black and white
productions in that exhibition. They
have been charmingly displayed. On
the partitions which divide the space
at one end Of the show prints and
drawings have been hung in an uncom-
monty satisfactory manner. The COL
lection includes a particularly welcome
feature in group of etchings by the
late Alden Weir, capital studies which
recall his feeling for beauty in what
ever medium he adopted. New types
are not conspicuous in this part of the
exhibition, hut It is pleasant to see
some comparatively unfamiliar con-
tributors, such as that admirable
craftsman, Mr.. Frank Mura. and there
is much good work from divers we'll
known artists, like Mr.. Ernest D. Roth.
Among the drawings there are in
teresting exhibits by Mr.. E. H. Blash-
field, and from the studio Of the late
Kenyon Cox. The whole character Of
the show at this point Is we'll calcu-
lated to ratify the decision OF the
Academy to give black and white It's
chance.

The Commission of
Fine Arts

The eighth report Of the Commission
of Fine Arts, covering the period from
January /, 1918, to July /, 1919, has
Just been issued from the Government
Printing Office at Washington. It
makes q stout pamphlet of nearly $50
Illustrated pages, too voluminous doc
ument to be exhaustively traversed in
this place, but the broad significance
Of the commissions work cannot be
permitted to pass unnoticed. The ad-
visory functions of this body, unob-
trusively administered, without reward,
by men distinguished in their profes-
sions, are Of profound value to the
country. They give support to pub
lie work that is good and place con-
elusive obstacles in the way of public
work that promises to be bad The
commission is kind Of Federal clear
ing house for ideas that emerge af-
fecting the artistic Integrity Of the
United States. Thus the present re-
port opens with q useful summary of
everything that relates to the future

have been outmoded to such point
that his pictures seem in a sense old

They are too superb in. technique for

plated In the plan which has for some
years been in hand. The problems re-
manning to be faced are clearly stated,
and In the settlement Of them the
commission is plainly on the side Of
given to the subjecc of those memo
rials, monuments and statues which
the commission has approved. They
remind US Of the fine standard which
has slowly been getting itself estab-
lished in this country. Here is the
great Lincoln memorial, the temple de-
signed by Henry Bacon with It's statue
by Daniel @. French and Its paintings
by Jules Guerin. Here are che Meade,
Grant and Key memorials, sculptured,
respectively, by Charles Crafty, Henry
NJ. Shrady and Charles H. Neihaus.
Mrs. Whitney's Titanic memorial is
illustrated. SO is one Of the figures
sculptured by Mr.. French for the foun-
tain which Is to take the place of the
old du Pont statue in Washington, q
peculiarly happy instance OF the benef-
cent nature Of the commissions in
flpence. There ara numerous other
matters of consequence recorded. The
salient chapter is that which relates
to the war.
Being keenly aware Of tbs fact that
the medals and insignia in our army and
navy might be bettered, the commission
offered Its services to the government.
with the result that both the Secretary

bodying one suggestion which 1t is fit
ting to cite at any time. 1t proposed
that this organization should some day
have house of its own, where a guild
shop for the sale and distribution of
American prints should be established
under the supervision Of the direc-
torate Of the society. library would
form part of the scheme, and a center
would be provided at which print lovers
could come in contact with print max
ers and perhaps witness demonstra-
tions Of technical processes. The
Painter-Grav have already a long
list Of patron members. Their work
is Enthusiastically winning sympathy and
encouragement. That they should have
a home Of their own Is a good idea,
especially.if they are willing to begin
in a small way and make it plain that
the whole purpose of the society Is to
adopt and maintain an inexorably high
standard. The one decoration forbid

The late Eugene Marlier was a Bel

school Of his own country. The illus
trated catalogue Of his collection, which
is to be sold at auction in the gallery
of Le Roy Freres, at Brussels, on May
10, suggests that he was we'll advised
in his loyalty. Some of his types are
representative Of an ancient tradition.
Henri de Braekeleer patiently emulated
the scrupulous realism of the Little Old
Masters Of the Low Countries. But
there are some pictures here repro
duced to bring home to us the fact that
it was Belgian, Alfred Stevens, who
did some of the most brilliant work &C

On our boat the hooch hounds
