NoTES, The regular Fridsy evening hop at Riverside 'has become quite a feature of local entertain- ment. Guests are conveyed thither by a special tran leaving the foot of Randoiph street at 7:30 p. m., and returning about 12 o'clock, stooping at all the stations. Quite a large party of ladies and gentlemen from the Sherman House attend- ed last Friday evening. Johnny Hand's orches- tra, of course, furnishes the music on these occasiona. The Enterprise Pleasure Club wifl give their first grsnd complimentary ball of the second series ac Central Hall, on the corner of Wabash avenue and Twenty-second street, Thursday evening, Oct. 14. The Ivanhoe Club met for the first time this seacon Friday evening for reorganization. Many ydung ladies and gentlemou will romom- ber with great pleasure the parties of the Pail Mall Clab given last seeson, and will look for- ward with some impatience to the occasion of the opening party this fall. The membership of the Club is limited to thirty, and great care is exercisod in the selection of members. The Club did not suspend during the summer months, but remained in 8 state of inactivity, holding an oc- casional business meeting. The Sans Souci Clab, composed of some of the leading ladies and gentlemen of the South Side, is somewhat exclusive in character. and has a very limited membership. It will hold & meet- ing to reorganize for the season very snortly, at which time the propriety of incressing the mem- bership to 8 maximum of twenty-five will be en- tortained, and arrangements perfected for the approaching social campaign. It is the impres- sion amony the members that the plan of opera- tion will be substantially the same as last year, in which case parties will bo given every two weoks, always at private residences. The parties given by this club last year wore very successfnl and elerant affairs. The Nameless Club, one of the soveral eumc- cessful organizations of last yesr, Las alresdy comploted its arrangements for the coming sea- son, with fair prospects that the eame success will attend it & gecond year. A series of fea- parties will begiven at St. Jobn's Hall, com- imencing Wednesday evering, Oct. 13, and_con~ tinuing each alternate week through the winter. The parties will be stricily informal, snd it is the intention of the manapera to commence dancing promptly at 8:30 o'clock, and'closs as near 12 as possible. The oflicers of the Club are: President, H. A. Morso : Vice-President, C. D. Brown; Becretary, E. C. Colburn; Treasurer, F. B. Wyckoft. There was 8_very pleasant party at Bouor- nique’s, Thursday evening, the attendance being . ME. H. M. KINSLEY, the caterer, returned yesterday from Des Moines, where be had been engaged to provide refresh~ ments at the Army of the Tenncsseo reunion. The fourth anpiversary ball of the Chicago Fire Insurance Patrol, to be Leld to-morrow evening at patrol besdquarters, No. 113 South Franklin street, promises to be a gorgeons af- fair, judging from the elaborate card of invita- tion that has been got up for the occasion. The building will bo renovated and decorated in the best style, and a large number of guests are ex- pected. —_—— SUBURBAN FRIVOLITIES. EVANSTON, There must be mentioned first the approach- ing weddings. That which will most surprise the friends of the parties will be the special propertx of that exclusive locality socially known as *The Ridge” The members of the Eclectic Reading Club cannot bring themselves to believe thal Mr. Jesso . Lyons, who bas beon the life of tbe Club for 80 long & period, is actually about to assume the yoke matrimonial. But such is tho case. His friends can ascertsin the name of tho lucky young lady by asking the jolly husband that is soon to be. Saying nothing about Mr. * Ned” Johnson, the next case is that of Mr. David W. Cassoday, of the Boardof Trade, who willbo united in marriage with Misa Clars 0. Willard, of Highland Park, at that place, next Thursday afternoon.

South Kvanston Social Club gives an en- tertginment Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Amorose Foster, beiog about to iesve Evauston for their winter sojourn in Flor- ids, gave s tadlesnx pacty to about inirty of the young friends of their dauguter Aice Fridaay evening. The programme coosistod of the *“*Artist’s Dream” and scenes from “Mother Goose,” and, considering the fact that 8 number of the children who personated char- acters were from 8 to 10 years of sge, surpassed many like exhibitions given by the charches of the village. The rendision of * Littlo Bo-Peep by Lillie Paul was especially noticeable. At the conclusion of the parformance the guests were served with refreshments, aod the remainder of the evening Was spent 1o gawes and dancing. BLUE ISLAND. A very pleasant affair in the shape of & Eur- prise party took placo last Friday evening at the beautifal residence of Mr. and Ars. William Morgan, in Bloe Ialand. TLast Friday was Mies Keelio Jackson’s birthday, and, her friends being anxious to_show her the estesm in which she is held by them, and their sdmiration of her, concluded to give her a sur- prige, but in order to more_effectually make & gennine affair of itskind she was invited ont by a friend to spend the evening. Her friends, some_ {wouty-four of thirty in number, meb at the Morgans shortly after 8 o'clock and dancing began at Teally 9 o'clock. In vain did the whole party watch the front door, expect~ ing gurprised,” uotl 10 to ses the o'clock, when she msdo her appearsnce. As shbe did not suspect anything of the kind, sho ‘was in no particalar hurry to get home, and only did so when she got ready ; but her looks when she arrived and saw what her friends had dove for ber, but too plainly showed the doep emo- tions of her heatt. Itwas quite o while after her {friecnds shook bLands with her be- fore sbe ' could oxpress in words the sentiments she felt towards them. The rlors were beantifully oroamented with rave: flies_and varions otber flowers, the work of both Mrs. Morgan and Miss Fannie Huntington. At 12 o'clock tho party botook thomselves to tho dining-room, where & splendid supper awatied them, of which every one seemed to partake in a lessing to the hostees, afier which they maner D! sguin ssaembled in the parlors to resume dancing, only to wind wup after 2 in the morning.

New Yong, September 1375.—Bonnats of velvet, very much trimmed with lace, will appear as the senson advances. Festhers. birds, and the wings and hearta of birds are more used for falis Russianlace, Valenciennes, and real thread and Chantilly are all applied to velvet bonneta in conjunction with velvet flowers, the fine laces being sometimes used to cover or *veil "—as it is called—the velvet. * Russian” lace is a novelty, expensive but coarse, and not likely to scquire much vogue here, ay persons who conld afford it would probably prefer a genuine an- tique, of which it is only an imitation. ' PULL-BACKS." The cheap wit which usually expends itself upon sore part of woman's drees, has found & mine in the tied-back skirt, which has Leen most industrionsly worked. The point with the critics is the indecency of a style which indicates 80 much of the outline of & woman's form; but {rom this point of view there is no reason what- ever for the strictures. Why is a woman’s form auy more indecorous than that of aman? And why shonld not & dress outline the form it covers? If it does not, what is the object of a form at 2l1? Avd why should beanty in dekign or art itself be cultivated? Twenty-five years ago tho women wore an enormous mass of skirta, which rendered them ehapeless and occasioned them great trouble and inconvenionce. To pre- serve & necessary and a barrel-like absence of form, hoop-skirts wero invented, the first of which were from 4 to 5 yards round. and, with dresses over tbem and n woman inside of $hom, occupying the width of & broad city sidewalk, and six (three on o side) in & Gtroat-car. Dress then was attacked and lampooned for concesling the form; the days of the First Empire wore _racalled, and the "classic taste of the Empress Josephine and tho ladies of the renowned French salon commented upon. Codfish wanted display, waoted to spread itself, and ought to have been sent abroad to stedy painting and sculpture, the works of the old masters and the princioles of all modern art, in order to get ideas not utterly disgraceful to mod- orn civilization. Well, Codtish went abroad. Whether that hed anything to do with getting rid of hoops and the more recent studies of- form as applied “to dress, matters not. We have, at Jeast, got nid of hoops, 2ad we have got a dress that is not obtrusive; that is neither €0 sirnight, mor scaot. mnor objectionable, in these reapects 38 the strict short-waisted, low~ backed, shost-alesved dress of the seventesnth century ; that has, on the contrary, possibilities of beauty, grace, and clegance, if the wearer or her modiste is an artist, aud knows how to take advantage of thom. We bavea drees which is often_stupidly covered with trimming, and ridic- ulously made upof partswhich have no relation- shib to each other, but that ia inevitablo ; and on the other eide we have gradually obtained a public opinion which is stronger and more permanent than_fashioo, which gives dark or neutral colors and slmost uniformly solid fabrics for the street, which enforces the ne- cesnity of restricting stroet costames to hmits that will pot obtrude upon the rigbts of others in the sirest-caror elsewhere. No stylo of dress could be invented that silly girls and silly wom- en wonld not exaggerate,—u fool always car- ries with him his cap and balls, —but why & dress compoaen of soveral akirts, with skirts beneath, should be considered improper, even though tied back, while the single trowser passes for highly proper, it would puzzle a lawyer to determine. IMPORTED COSTUMES. French dressmalers are not yet over the habit of putting s great deal of material into toiloties which they send to Americs, making them very fuesy, and charging & very high price for them. They canoot understand that we bave got over paying $5C0 or 600 for one dress and $10,000 for a trousseaun, which did not amount to much after all, and they still send suits for which they charge €350, snd reception dreeses for which they charge $300, in epite of all that can bedooo to prevent them. The consequoncs is that they are dead stock, and that our great houses aro importing very lictle this season in the way of dresses 2od ready-made garments. A €350 dress was composed of seal brown silk, with overskirt and sleevelesa basque of cresm-colored casimir, brocaded with seal ‘brown. The overskirt was trimmed with fringe aud with the nsual complement of bows and sashos; the sleeves and skirt bad knife-plaited raflles of silk, and the diess was finished at the sleaves and heck with Valenciennes lace, rendy to put on; but the whole thing could have been gotten up for £150, and should not have cost ono cent moro. Tho finest brocaded casimir is 94 per yard ; but it is 56 inches wide, and very little 18 roquired for an overdrese, or to 8ssist the trimming of the skirt, provided any is used for tnat purpose, which is not always the case. Other mported costumes are composed of silk trimmod with mothor-of-pesrl, and the now striped or figured velvet, trimmed with fringe and the passementeris ornaments, which are re- vived, but these aro very fow in number. The latter are a hittle too profusa for good taste, snd the cost involves too much risk for these close timos. ‘There i no_indication of fur being used for trimming to the extent it was lust wi . In fact, for many reasous it does not remai Iar even with fashionable women, whi be sup) |, wowid hardly coosider the question of cost. The chief one 18 that muffs and other articles of strect costume must match the trimmings of the suit. Thisis sometimes vory inconvenient. The fors usually cut up into trimming are gray, such a8 grebes, gray or silver fox; orin dark for, skunk. Now, these raroly match the lady’s ‘“set.” and to get auother. or even to have a muff and boa made and trimmed to match the suit, 18 not always possible. Then fur can only be worn, or st nay rate only looks well, in very cold weather, and havdsome changes are therefore required, which are not alwaya practicable. Undoubtedly the handsomest winter-dress which a lady can wear is s rich, complete cos- tume of velvet, fur-trimmed, and the less com- won they aro the more distinguished. Ladies whoare fortunate enough, therefore, to hase one, need bave no fear in wearing it that they will {ind themselves “ont of fashion.” 'BLACK STLX TOILETTES. Economy always falls back on blacksille Per- haps that 18 tho resson so many elegant in-door dregses ore in preparation this scason composed of that perannial fabric. Oue of theso was cut in the purs Princess atyle, body aud skirt in one, 10 over-skirt, only 2 'gore set on at the back to assist in forming the fan-like train. Neitherwere thero snv flonnce or flnting on the back of the siirt. The only trimming consisted of wide Dbraida, composed of silk cords woven together to & width of at least three inches, and arranged with tassels to ontline the drapery at the back; and form the bands for the sido-pocket, which, however, wa8 not suspended, but was made an integral part of the dress. Another model for dinner or reception dresses, which 13 a sample of many, has a pufied front odged with rows of Marguerite plaiting, snd o plain plaited train, snrmounted by a small puff, shirrod at tho top. The pufing is scant aud not ehirred in froot. but at the kidos, a8 was re- marked of cazhmero costumes. Bows, howsver, are often placed the whole length of ths front, from the neck down to the edge of the pufling upon the sldrt or overskirt. WALKING JACKETS. ‘Basques, jackets, and dohnang are all cut long in front and short upon the back. Cloth cloaks take that form also, probably to prevent inter- ference with the drapery which is magsed at the back of the skirt. Thia poculiarity came in with the dolman, and belongs to it, thongh the differ- ence betwesn tho depta at the back and front was much leas marked when it first appeared than now. = Cloth jackets are otherwise plainly but closoly cut, well-shaped fo 0 figure, end sccompanied by cost-sleeves meatly shoped to the arm. The feature of ther is the trimming, which consists of Tilou or pleated braids of ditferont widths and different styles combined most effectively. Last winter the trimming was composed of the pip- 1ngs and folds of heavy black silk, but the com- binations of braids are more striking withoat be- 1ng at all offensive to good taste. The narrow width braid are often formed by a suocession of loops, and are inclosed in rows of the wider braids, which are flat. The basques of dresses, when not of the cuiraese form, aro cut dooperin front than at the back, but the plain cuirasse being unob- trusive is o better permanent form. Evening and overs cloaks nesume the dolman. or circuler form. The circuiar, bowever, is yprincipaliy condined to silk cloaks and Scotch wraps, the lntter, which arein dark blue and grean cloth. bordored with _deep woolen fringe, Ihatching the colois, and lined with scatlet o black, are exceedingly useful both for day and evening wear. Rich white opera cloaks are made of thick in the dotman etyle, wadded, and lined wi! whits eatin. Trimmings of pleated eilk braid, of white passementerie, 8, and tassels, are newer then frioge or emoroidery, shough of courds thete oan be fashionadly whrn. Jere Jokm THE FINE ARTS. A Visit to Thomas Ball's Studio at Florence, President Lineoln and Gov. Andrew—The Chickering Monument—Status of Eve. Unexpected Wealth of American Museums and Collections. Gleanings from Chicago Studios. THE STUDIO OF THOMAS BALL. AN AMPRICAN ARTIST AT FLORENCE. Special Correspondence of T'he Chicago Tribune. Passing beyond the city walls by the Porta Romans, Americans visiting Florence are always struck by the bonelike appearance of the scene before them. Indeed, were it not for the grand old avenue, the Poggio Imperisle, with its mile of straightness and up-hill, and its double rows of tall, grim, sentinel-like cypresses, one might almost think oneself in a suburb of one of our New England cities, 80 new and green and pros- perous does everything appear, and so modern. And this appearance is not without reason, for here names of wiich America is proud, mark the villas and studioa of the noted sculptors whoso works are familiar at home and abroad. The equestrian statue of hington, of which Boston is so justly proud,is it ia almost needless to say, the work of ThomuaBall, who lives here an& whose studio is always open to visitors. Ring-~ iog, then, at theircu gate, the mysterions opening of which reminds us of the enchanted castles of childhood. we euter the beautiful grounds which surround tho honse and studio, and which would testify, if uch testimony were needed, to the taste and love of besuty of their owner. Through a door. before which a fonntain is play- ing, we pass into the prosence of the works of the scalptor. The studio i8 one of the largest and band- somest in Florence, aad embraces a suite of balf a dozeo roows, of various sizes and devoted to various uses, from the modeling of the work of ar3 in clay to the final finiehing in the marble. ‘That we may see the rooms in order, let us turn directly to the right, where we find ourselves in an apartment containing several finished works in marble ; two children’s heads, *Penserosa™ and “Sunshine,” whose perfect childlikeness makos them goneral favorites; n bust of the “Eve” of which we shall pregently see the full fizure in another part of the studio: a bust of Washington; 2 bust of St. Jobn; and a small group commemorating the omancipation of the &laves by PSESIDENT LINCOLY. The last is & copy of the colossal group, the money for the execution of which was rawed by the subscription of the colored people of the Ubited States, and the commssion given to Mr. Ball two years ago. It represents the President ttanding erect, holding in his right hand, which rests upon a column, the immortal proclamation, while tho loft is beld in an attitude of benedic- tion abovo the kneeling figure of the typical ne- £ro, who with broken chains seems to rise in bis great strength from his fallen state, and looks calmly aud hopefully into the future. The fig- ure of President Liucoln is true to the life, the diflicnlties of modern costume being met boldly and without the adoption of the Roman drapery that comes 80 often to the rescue of the scalptor of the man of the present day. while the mas- cular and almost nudo figure of the Begro at his feet takes away the effect of disproportionate height, which in 'mosat of the statues of the mar- tyr Pregident has been fatal toall grace and comoliness. The group is still at the foundry at Munich, where it has recently been finished in brorze, and will be dedicated in April of next yearon the suniversary of the assassination of the President. Itis of iuterest that the ides of the Freedmen's erecting o monument to their emancipation by subscription was due to an old colored woman who gave $5 to an officer of our arny to be devoted to this purpose ; and the re- suit of thie small begiuning is the noble group, which is worthy of the sculptor, of the subject. and of its destination, the Capital of the United Btates. Roturning to the large hall which we first en- tored, we find the original plaster of the STATUE OF GOV. ANDREW of Massachusetts, now in the State-House in Boston; & cast of the statue of Forrest; the statue of St. Jobn the Evangelist, in marble; the group for the Chickering monument st Mount Aubarn ; and sevoral smaller works, etill un- finished, in merble. The statute of §t. John first attracts our attention. The weight of the figure, which is drapedin a large loose robe roaciing nearly to the gronnd, rosts upon the left foot ; in the left hand is held an open book, 1n the right & pen ; the fiead is raised ; the whole attitade, a8 well 28 the pure and bestiful face, expressing calm but earnest expoctation, as he appears to Le listeniog to a ‘¢ voice from Heaven." The marble of the figure isas im- ‘maculate a8 the expression, bat its prrity cannot eudure in its intended position in Forest Hill Cemotary, where it will be axposed to the sovers climate of Now Eogland. Fortunately, how- cver, the climate cannot rob it (as is too often the case with the statuary that is supposed to adorn our cemcteries) of its chief value in taking away its whiteness. ;Those who are familiar with AMount Anbarn— {Bat once lovely spot, which is now 8o filled with meaninglass and unsightly masonry as to pre- sent the appearance of a monumental marble- ‘yard—aro doubtless familiar with THE CHICKERING MONUMENT. The caets of the figure and bass-relief are still to be seen in Air. Ball's studio. The group rep- resents the ¢ Realizauion of Faith in Death.” The kn!fllmEflfigura of Faith holds to her breas: the ctoss, while the Angel of Death, who is here figured in far from a fearful character, Lfts the voul from her eyes, and all is revesled as prom- ised in {se words inscribed upon the baso: * Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face fo face.” The medallion which adorns the front of the limse is a tribute to the memory of Mr. Jonas Chickering ; s 'oated femnle figure, representing Music, mourning for her lost friend, —as hie was. She loans usl‘on alyre, one of the sirings of which is broken. Thestill ocean forming the background of the composition, with lovel horizon line, may represent eternity. The 2{“{5 contributes to the ides of reposs in eath. One passing reflection. What & pitylit is that more people cannot be induced to follow the example of the Chickering family, and of the ssessor of the statue of St. Jobn (Mr. A. D. \Williams, of Boaton), and show their love for their lost friends by procuring real works of art instead of the worthless, soullees Carrara statu-~ ary,which detracts from instaad of adding to the beauty or a cemetery. In the adjoining room are two statues of mortal children, always the favorites of fond mammas, ** Christmas Momning” and ‘Bt Valontine's Doy,” and one immortal Cupid, oither reflecting on his past gins, or seeking in ria mind for new worlds to conquer. Ar. Ball calls him “ Love's Memories.” Let us hope his courde bas run smooth and his memories aro sweet! His prototype, bereft of ideality and uvow somowhat clder, may be seon in the gardoner's boy who may look in upon us at any time during our visit. Novw, turniog to our right, we enter a most be- comingly-lighted room. one side of which i &0 Lung with crimson velvet 58 to form an alcove, ia which the master-pieco of the studio stands. ‘This is the STATTE OF ' EVE JUST CREATED.” Although many sculptors have treated this sub- Ject, Ar. Ball is tho tirst who has seized the mo- ment 50 difficalt to portray,—when she has just awakoned into life. All the delght aad expecta- tion, the wonder and surpnse of being, aro here rendered most astonishingly, while the modeling and beauty aud womanly grace of the figare, stide from its wonderful exprossion, must fill overy one who secs it with sdmiration. This is the second copy of the figure in marble. The first is still in tho cese in which it wae sent bome, the owner having died_before it reached its destination—New Yorx. It is to beregretred tlnlt 50 be?rt_m{nlhl work olffllrt] .sg.‘nuld be hidden #0 long. Though we woul y linger Jong before the lovelinees of ** gu fai:eabg of ber daughters,” our time is limited, and 50, drawing smde the curtain that separates us from the true s tadio, where, beneath the hand of the sculptor, the clay aszumes shape and begins to live, we find ourselves in the preacnce of TIZ LARGEST STATUE EVER MODELED IN CLAY IN¥ - FLORENCE,— 2 gurprising fsct, congidering that this is the howe of sculpture. It reprosenta that largest of American statesmen, Daniel Webster. He stendsin & simple but diguified attitode, 8o characteristic of the men that many visitors to the studio recognized 1t before the bead (which was partially ncdeled separstely) waa &lued in Kw on. It was ordered by Gordon W. Bum- sm, Esq., of New York,and is to occupy s romiinent site in Central Park as the gifs of it gentloman, It baighi is 19 tead, ba to be cast in Munich. The small model, of which thisis a copy, was modeled by Mr. Ball Tearly twenty years ago in Boston, and was very extensively reproduced in bronze and plaster. Besides the statues that have claimed our chief attention, numerous smaller models and busts are scattered throngh the studio, among the latter of which we recognize many of the prominent men of America. Iu a 8eparate build- ing at the foot of the garden are the workshops in which the larger statues find their way into marble. Buch is the Studio BalL R AMERICAN MUSEUMS AND COLLEC- TIONS. THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR i3 about to publigh, with the Report of the Com- missioner of Education, tables of statistics of Public Musenms of Art, for 1874, proof-sheets of which have already appeared. These statistics, compiled by Col. J. Wileon Clarke, not only make sn interesting exhibit of the art-material thus far collected in this country, but furnish a very useful, practical guide to persons wise enough to avail themselves of the advantages near st hand for the studyof art before seeking the wider foreign fields. One setof tablesis devoted tomusenm of art, and another to inatitutions affording art in- atruction, It appears that there are 27 museums inthe country, s sparse supplyfor 38 States. Only four States have more than one,—New York, 7; Maseschusetts, 6; and Pennaylvania and Connecticut 2 apiece, The only Western museums of ert are the * Western Re- serve and Northern Ohio Historical Society and Museum,” at Cleveland, 0. ; Notre Dame Ma- seum at South Bend, Ind., and the Art-Gallery of the Illinois industrial University at Urbana, o Sonthern States bosst only the collec. gons of the Louisiana State University at Baton ouge. Besides the information about the locations, endowments, officers, and business Arrabge- ments of these institutions, statistica more use- fal to the artstudent are given of the amount and kind of material collected in them. Under scaipture, the number of orginal marble and bronze statues, relievos, and basts, antique and modern, and the nnmber of plaster copies and works I terra cotts, are given ; under paintiogs and engravings, the number of old masters (of which there are more than an ill-informed but supercilious public kmows of), of copies of tho same, of modern paintings, etchings, engrav- Inge, photographs, drawings, etc.) ; under other beaas are coins,' gems, ceramics, Chinese, Egyptian, and Indian relics. As superiority in one or the other of these departments ia looked for, ase or the other of tho museums comes forward snd claims honors— The Corcoran Art-Gallery at Wasbington, with an endowmeni of $1,000,000, is four-fold the richest in money, the Afetropolitan Museum of New York comes next, claiming $245,174 ; and the three next, the Yale 8chool of Tine Arts at Now Haven, $88,000: the National Academy of Deeign of New York, $50,000 ; and the Art-Gal- lery of Vassar Collego, also £50,000. In sculpture the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, & free art school in Philadelphis, and Cornell University, are far in advance of all others, the former having 256, the latter 250 oasts from the antique; the Metropolitan Mu- seum bas 60, the Corcoran Gallery 58 (increas- ing, however, with immense rapidity), and Am- herst College 50. The Metropolitan " Museum, it is true, boasts 1,000 original antique statacs, but these are the Di Cesnola collection of rian antiquities, interesting historically, but not models of art. In broozes the Corcoran Gallery 18 abead, with 114 (2 large proportion no doubt, being the auimals of Barye), and the Bos- ton Musemof Fine Arts next, 112. When it comes to Relievos, our own Industrial University at TUrbana comes to the froot with 170 specimens. against 128 of the Corcoran Gallery, and in other antigue sculpture Urbana also makes s very good sbowing, with 89 codies from the antigue, count- 10g both atatues and busta. 51 old masters in pamtiog, the Yale School of the Fine Arts has 225 examples (the Jarves col- lection), the Metropolitan Museum 230 (largely Datch), and the New York Historical Society 219, The Spanish collection of the Duke de Montpen- sier, now on sxhibition in Boston, finds no place in tbis list, not beiog on American museum, For pre-eminencs in other things, the Boeton Museum of Fine Arte has the largest collection of torra-cottas and of Egyptisn sntiquities; the Boston Public Library and Harvard Coflege, of engravings; Notre Dame Museum, of photo- aphs and drswings; the Western Reserve E:nnem of gold and silver ware, and coins, and of Amerinnli?:dim relica; the New Hempshire Antiquarian Society, of Cbinese curiositien; Vassar College and the National Academy, of modern paintings, etc. ‘These statistics sbow this for one thing, that it wonld be possible to arrange an American art tour, taking 1n Boston, New York, Washington, and Phitadelphia, which would enabie a student of art to seo a thousand specimens of the old masters, about an equal number of antique statues, and casts from the antique, and an in- definite number of modern pictures, engravings, coins, Oriental curiosities, etc. If to Lhis stock is wdded the groat numter of fine works of art contained in private galleries, and scceasible to soybody warthy to see them, it will be seen that an interesting and profitable artistic journey is 88ibls to persons who are not able fo go to arope, but can spare time and money foratour of thros or four weeks in this coantry. ———— 0ODDS AND ENDS, IN AND OUT OF THE STUDIOS. Arthor Pickering is out of town; studio closed. John Phillips s still in New York, and is ex- pected back in November. Mr. Gollman is in town, and his Iatest work is & portrait in oil, not crayon. * 'W. R. Eaton, landscape painter, is at present engsged on crayon portraits of children, execated from photographs. H. E. C. Petorson has returned for the winter, and has some portraits in progross, one of Mra. D. Cole, and one of Mrs. Dr. Mills, of Freeport. D. T. Bigelow, the landscape-painter, re- turned & week ago from & tour in New England and New York, with s portfolio fall of sketches. Anton Hug, freeco-painter and stadent of art, has dmigneg somo good and clever fresco-pat- terns, and made some compositions of figures and folisge in oil. Miss A. 0. Shaw is already working her sum- mer sketches made at Beloit into compogitions of landacape, but hopes to make another sketch- ing journey before the Enow comes. Ar. Robertson 18 putting somo of his Adiron- dack shetches of characteristic iohabitants into oil, by rapid processes which giva opportunity for his habitual experiments in color. H. K. Saunders bas his usual supply of crayon ictares in_progress, among them one of J. 8. ennis, ordered by the Second Universalist Sun- day-school, and one of Mrs. Frack Barnoy. ‘Theodore Wust's latest caricature represents s contemporary journalist, not altogether noknown to the Weatcrn public, Wilbar F. Story by name, inwhe character of Fatber Time, with ecytho and other proper appliances. Christian Poulson is at work in his studio in in the American Express Building upon s lake picture of tho stesmer China approsching Chi- cago, the vessel under full stssm and near the Crib. Healso has s view of Muskegan, with s sehooner in the foreground. A. F. Brooks bas returned from Northern Michigsn, and reporis tho weather too cold for advantageous sketching. Mr. Brooks had a se~ vere marine experience on the night of the great e, the vessel breaking her rudder-chain aad ing for a time in great peril. The Jetter from 1italy published to-dsy is by a0 especially trustworthy and compétent hand, and may be taken as prime aathority oo all that it tells of ‘Thomas Bali, who i3 now acknowledged one of the best American scalptors; which is to 8y, one of the best scuiptors i the world. H. A. Elkins has alarge canvas, the ssme size with his ** Shasts,”—6 by 10 feet,—under the brush. The subject is the same as that ex- bibited forr ehort time early in the season,— “‘'The Crown,"—one of the Bocky Mountain peals, but the coloring is in s different key either from that or * Shasta,” being Bomewbat Bombre sod dark, exceptio;; upon the highest peak, where the sun rests. The artist has been 1n the White Mountains this season. David Ricbards hasa s varisty of wark in pro- gress in hus studio in Pike's Building. A marble Portrait bust of o St. Louis gentloman is from » ciny model execated by Mrs. Kirtland, a Chicago amatear, and looks like a strong_ likeness, The marble is nearly fintshod. An ideal head of a young woman i8 pretty well blocked out in clay. Aclay bust of a chid, modeled so far from botographs, is_roady for eittings from the iving original. Besides thess, Alr. Richards has made s medallion portrait. in very low reliet, of & Deighboring artist, which has quite a clamio sod Italian Jook. Some pictures crowded out of the sri-gallery of the ition are hupg in the galleries of the msin bm;g. over the principal entrance. Am these ars s charming n poriTait of ATE WA T hris) a”g6od e of alies Elener, the actress, by Saunders: some fine Litle india-ink landscapes, by F. De B. Richarda; aud a variety of photographa and_drawings. A medallion portrait of a lady, by W. W. Starr,—a young eculptor who formerly lived hers, but now hass studio in Boston,—is hung here: but so high and nnder g0 oblique a light that it is im- Possible to make out tho detail of the modeling. It has a strong individual look, and some ex- pression unusual for portraiture,—s drooping of the eve-lid,—seems to have been chosen. Some designs for monumentsl tablets, by Mr. Starr, have slso been gent to the city lateiy, one a Holy Family, and another a venerable man and a child, the drawing of the figures and drapery very careful and clean, aod appropriate to ex- ecution in bas-relief. = Starr’s bust of Bobert Collyer is 8t O'Brien’s. F. Regamey has taken the drawing classes at the Athenmum. This active artist has lately designed some little figures of the Four Sea- Bons, somewhat in the vein of those published by Mitchell, of Boston, but better in drawing and expreasion—the different seasons represent- ed under tho figures of little cupids or oude in- fants. Thess are intended to be photographed and published. Mr. Regamey has just returned 1rom Boston, where he haa completed arran; ments to make exhibition of his_remarkable sketching powers in the Music Hall in connec- tion with the Star Lecture Course. It is under- stood thut Ar. Robertson will no: ac- company him this sesson. In their joint eontertainments last year, in ‘which Mr. Robertson did the lecturing, Mr. Reg- awmey prodaced as many as fourteen lifo-size drawings in color in a single ovening. He hasa rapid method of making stndies from life which he recommends to other arcists who have the faculty of drawing very fast. The materials are a coarse vellow paper (ordinary brown paper of & yellowish color will do), red and white chalk, aod charcoal. The yellow ground with red cha'k over it gerves for flesh color, aud the deep shadows and high lights aro produced with tho charcoal and white chalx, the artist makiog fres use of hig thumb for s *stump ” throughout the work. A brokon backgronnd of black and white completes the sketch, aod Mr. Reyamey makes & colored life-size portrait in abont 20 minntos. . MB. HIGHWOOD'S ART-SALE. It will be a_matter of great interest to all Joy- ors of really fine pictures to know that the splen- did gallery of European paintings which Mr. Higanood has £0 long ezhibifod to the public will be disposed of by auction on_Wedneaday and Thursday evenings of this week at his art~ rooms, Np. 165 Wabash aveoue. The collection embraces the master-pieces of the Munich and Dausseldorf schools, both in landscape and tigure pieces, the most of them being of admirabie size for the parlor. Itshould be remembered that these are not auction pictares. Mr. High~ wood, who is ab artist bimself, selected most of tbem in the Munich stndios with the view of establighing & permavent gallery, to be repleniahed, 83 pictures wero bought, from the same sources. e tightnoss of the times, howover, has not been favorable to this bold ex- periment. and Mr. Highwood now pronoses to dispose of them at auction, which will give buy- ers such an opportuuity 2s they have rarely had before fo obtain logitimate works of art at & reasonable price. It is unnecessary to mention oither the names of works or of artists, since the gallery is already pleasantly familiar to all our conunoisseurs and picture-buyers, who will un. doubtedly throng the rooms on this ocession.
