The autumn exhibition at the Americnn Art 0allrr1»nwill be opened lo the pu hilo on Tueaday. There winbe a «* private new ¦ to-morrow, which will gr, « ion-way toward deriding the ijnrstion whether a stroneexhibition of new painting* ran be maintair.ed in the.autumn. It hos been claimed, with the Acade-oy a»

an illustration, that a really good exhibition is itnpo*.ibid ot this ses»on. On tho other hand, the exhibitionat the American dsllertes may hare attracted p.int-inR., which would Bthoe-ataa have, rained tho averaae olthe exhibition st tbs Academy. It ls said that thsformer exhibition will be one of excellent quality, tMil this proves trne it goes ta show thsf the Academy ne

longer represents American art. In this matter oforganizing exhibitions sn association of artists hicertain of a iavorsbie predisposition on the ps rt ofthose who concern themselves with art. and a bmnne-i***tirm has ol itself no especial claim upon anyboi.y'isympathies. But if the bah-MM firm hoids thostronger exhibitions tho tact roust bo recognize!. Theartists themselves control the aituation. lt is lor themto choose whether their beat pictures shall go to theAcademy or the American Art Oallenee. 1. mt apnngthey preferred the latter. Tho only changes at the

Academy this sntumn have been the a.Irondoon ol an

unusual amount ot inferior work by new painters, andextreme modesty on the part ct some ot the veterans.

Little discrimination has been exercised eittier in

accepting or hanging the pictures. I'.«-..1,1 >- a kindlydesire to give as many artists as possible chances forsales has had something to do with this, but lt ia hardlyto be supposed that tbe National Academy is to becoms

merely a salesroom. There are plenty ot people whowill buy poor pictures, but tho Academy ought not te

be inadi* their rall vms*-point. The op<n ng of other

spring and autumn exhibitions may not be .nternle.l mr

the Academy lor the very best work of Americanartists, young and old.

There ls plenty of good work done bv American

painters, but only now snd then is it placed fairlybefore the nuhlio. Tbere is no lack of exhibitions,lint thara are many people who have neither the timo

nor patience to bant oat one good picture anton: a

icore or more which are not worth a scoond glance.lita nmctoon poor paintings leave tho stronger im¬
