work of an accomplished jousneyrnan.

esting to have Pieter Vanderiyn's

cares to follow him up should see the
October Bulletin" of the New York
Historical Society, in which Mr.. Charles
\. Harris luminously traverses his
history and reproduces number Of the
portraits he painted 'from Kingston to
Schenectady" He was born in Hol-

cal principles of his native land to the
portrayal of our old Dutch families
There are, by the way, some interest

IN leaving the gathering it is on its
broad tone that we are most inclined

certain remarks in the prospectus:
THE public needs the independents

American art can be obtained" Indeed.
*The essential success of the society
depends on its becoming always more

year In place of "the artists" we
uouIa suggest the words Competent

On the members. Artists OF all schools

We wonder if the Independents, as
body, are beginning to wake up to the
fact that their present policy let's in
some fearful rubbish. The only com
msntary that can be made upon that
rubbish: "Weli, they pay for the

For some time we have been made

Has show of his own, at the Milch
gallery, and it not only confirms past
impressions, but conveys new ones
equally agreeable. He was we'll advised
to include his large landscape, "Louisi-
ana Plantation" though it is dated us
far back as 1887. 1t is good picture,
that is the main point. The scene is
almost artlessly observed, yet it is
governed actually by feeling for de-
sign; besides its casual truth the can
vas has true pictorial quality. Foil
age and plants are skillfully general
lied. The sky is well modelled. The
prevailing tones Of green are sensi-
lively handled. Altogether it is a

This is the virtue OF all of this

especially in his studies of Caribbean
scenes. But he keeps both we'll In
hand, avoiding the staccato and often
specious effects which tempt observers
under tropical skies. Occasionally he
is almost Whistierian in the restraint
and deIicacy he uses. The finely mcdu-
lated grays in "The Narrows' offers a
pertinent illustration. And his reserve
tells even more decisively when he
nominally let's himself go, as IN the
deep blues Of his "Harbor Of Paler-

TO note with what tact he can manipu-

leads to pyrotcchnics, AS in the Arab

rightly chosen for place in what we
might describe as Mrs. Whitney's en-
hassy. But they stard for only small
segment of American art. On the other
hand. Mrs. Whitney protests in her cat
alogue that it was never her ambition
to attempt conclusive exhibition Of
American art In Europe. She confined
herself to "thc men who have taken
part in our exhibitions during the last
ten years" From that point of view
she made a comprehensive exhibition.
The presence OF the older men is not
so easy to understand.

assembled fer exhibition at the Acker-
mann galleries. The artist has painted
many Of the best known thoroughbred
horses Of this generation, horses
whose claim to fame lies in unusual
performances on the turf, polo field
and in the hunt. There are Man o.
War, Sir Barton, Billy Kelly, Cudgel,
Tenby and others. The painter has
not sought to initiate the early
sporting plate tpyes, but aims at
true depletion Of character. They
are animal and figure portraits, in

of early day sporting events. They
