SIMPLE BOT IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES Dr. Welling Makes an Eloquent and Appropriate Address. THE OTHER EXERCISES Under a smiling sky and with impressive ceremonies the cornerstone of the new Cor- coran Gallery of Art was laid yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the presence of a large crowd of well-known Washington peo- ple who are friends of the institution and believe firmly in the future of Washington as an art center. The old gallery at the corner of 17th street and Pennsylvania ave- nue, large as it is, is now inadequate for the purposes of proper exhibition, to such an extent has the collection of treasures grown. The new building will be mam- moth in proportions, and even the portion which {s to be built first will be far larger than the present building, and the plans, while contemplating a complete structure in the beginning, allow for future additions, which will simply complete the original plan without detracting in the least from the harmony of the whole. The new site is at the corner of New York avenue and 17th street, only a short dis- tance from the place originally selected by Mr. Corcoran himself. After several months’ work the foundation is complete and the walls were made ready to receive the cor- nerstone. Its Silver Anniversary. Around the point where the stone was to be set was built a platform capable of ac- commodating several hundred people, and on this was gathered a crowd of ladies and gentlemen, who watched with interest the proceedings that marked a new era in the history of art at the capital. It was a note- worthy fact that yesterday was the twenty- fifth anniversary of the founding of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. It was a fitting celebration of the occasion that it should be marked by the laying of the cornerstone of a new palace to be devoted to art. Some idea of the size of the building may be had when it is said that the foundation walls are to be 275x150 feet and the building will be of two stories and a basement. The main entrance will be on 17th street, and the Im- posing doorway will be flanked by the Can- ova lions that are at the entrance of the present gallery, and there will also be two large allegorical figures in bronze, the de- signs of which have not yet been selected. The jower courses will be of cut granite, and in the basement will be located the stu- dios and drawing rooms of the-art school, the grill room for the convenience of stu- dents and the janitor’s quarters. The main gallery will be above, occupying the full height of the main building, with lateral galleries on the upper floor and the offices of the institution on the level with the main entrance. On a small stage around the cornerstone yesterday afternoon were seated the trus- tees of the gallery, Dr. James C. Welling, president; Mr. Edward Clark, Mr. Frederic! B. McGuire, Judge Walter $8. Cox, Mrs. Charlies C. Glover, Mr. Calderon Carlisle, Mr. Matthew M. Galt and Mr. William Cor- coran Eustis. The remaining member of the board, Mr. S. H. Kauffmann, was ab- sent from the city. Besides these gentle- men on the platform were Rt. Rey, William Paret, bishop of Maryland; Rev. Alexander Mackay Smith of St.John's Church and Pres- ident Gallaudet of Kendall Green. The ex- ercises were commenced by an address de- livered by the president of the board, Dr. Welling. Dr. Welling’s Address. Dr. Welling said: Ladies and gentlemen, in reverence for the beautiful and beloved memory of William Wilson Corcoran, the great and good man whose name gives lus- ter to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and re- ceives luster from the munificence with which he endowed it; in the name of my colleagues in the board of trustees, to whom the execution of a great trust in the inter- est of American art is confided, I bid you cordial weicome to the public ceremonies by which we this day commemorate the foundation of a new edifice to be here erect- ed for the better fulfillment of the high de- signs conceived by our honored founder. it was on the luth day of May, 1860, just @ quarter of a century ago, that Mr. Cor- coran, in pursuance of what he declared to have been “‘a long-cherished desire,” estab- shed in this city an institution to be for- ever “dedicated to art,” and to be “used sciely for the purpose of encouraging Amer- ican genius in the production and preserva- tion of works pertaining to the fine arts and kindred objects.” Compelied, as we have been, to seek a new site in which to find ample room for carry- ing out the designs of our founder, we re- joice to have obtained one so eligible, be- cause of its close adjacence to the spot criginally selected by Mr. Corcoran, and be- cause it is in still more sensible touch with ail that is most typical of this national cap- ital. In the very shadow of yonder marbie shaft, erected by the American people in | hoor of the man “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country- men;” full in sight of the Executive Man- sion; in near proximity to the public de- partments of State, of War, of the Navy, of Justice, of the Treasury and of Agriculture; with the domes of the Capitol and of the National Library in front of us; towers of the Smithsonian Institution to the right of us, we shall here erect a palace ih which to preserve and to display, so far as our means shall allow, specimen products | | of that highest form of human inspiration \ } | which comes to expression in sculpture and in painting. The Gallery and Its Contents, Concerning the temple of art which we here purpose to erect, and which we hope may not seem unworthy of the high mis- sion assigned to it, I beg leave to say that the architect who, under our Instructions, has designed it, is Ernest Flagg of New York; that in its style of architecture it will be Neo-Grec; that on a basement of gran- ite it will be built of white marble; that in its dimensions it will be 275 feet long by 120 feet wide; that it will cost a half a million of dolla that it will contain a hail of sculpture, a gallery for paintings, a school for instruction in drawing, in modeling and in painting in oll and water colors, a hall for the delivery of public lectures on art in ts history and its technique, and a salon for the annual exhibition of paintings and statuary, to be contributed by artists from all parts of the country. Concerning the present treasures of the gallery, I beg leave to say that, in the sum absolutely paid for them, they represent a money cost of $346,088 (exclusive of dona- tions)—a cost value which, of course, is greatly below the real value which these treasures represent today. The total cap- ital of the gallery, in its treasures, in its endowment, and in its buildings, is esti- mated today at $1,926,938. The total number of visitors who have inspected the paint- ings and sculptures exhibited in the galiery from the date of its opening down to the beginning of this month was 1,734,452. In a fair city, which, like ours, is adorned with so much of megnificence in its public architecture; in a city whose squares and cireles and parks are studded with the statues of heroes and of statesmen, of sages and of scholars, from Winfield Scott on his war horse to Joseph Henry in his college gown, from Lafayette in his mili- tary uniform to John Marshall in his judicial robe, it would seem most fitting that a suitable home should be here erected for the proper housing of those choicest fruits of genius, which spring from the penetl of the painter and the chisel of the sculptor. Indeed, we may justly hold that in the multiform division of labor which is attendant on all high civilization, it de- serves to be accounted among the highest of human deeds that provision of some kind should be made, if not by public bounty, then by private munificence, for the due encouragement of that form of labor which is highest—the labor which has for its supreme motive to keep alive the love of the ideal in nature, and of the beautiful in the oul of man. then, that it was for the encouragement | alike of artistic production and of artistic public taste that this gallery was founded. Mr. Corcoran’s Philanthropy. The philanthropy of William W. Cor- coran was pre-eminent alike for its mag- nitude, for its catholicity, for the high intellectual and moral forces with which it worked, and for the wise foresight with which it was defined and organized during his life time. Under a solemn sense of the a I i with the} Let me say, | high responsibilities imposed on him by the wealth which came to crown his financial Sagacity, and to reward his financial honor, he early determined to convert those high responsibilities into the privileges of a generous and noble public spirit. He early decided that at least one-half of his moneyed accumulations should be held for the welfare of men, and he kept this self- imposed obligation so lMberally that he often allowed his sense of privilege to out- strip his sense of obligation. And so it came to pass, as one of his biographers has recorded, that his charities, private and public, exceeded the amount of five millions of dollars, and that “he left no aspect of human life untouched by his beneficence.” Reaching out the hand of an ever-helpful sympathy, and working the moral and intel- lectual forces embodied in the church, in the university, in the school of sclence, in the elegant home provided for gentlewomen, he showed at once the refinement and the comprehensiveness of his beneficence by not omitting to make a most bountiful provis- fon for that form of culture which sheds its selectest fragrance along the walks of social life. I know full well that there are those who look upon the fine arts as de- serving to be called “the bright consum- mate flower” of human culture only be- cause they mark the culminating points at which a high civilization bursts into blos- som because it is on the eve of running to seed and falling into decay. It will be found that this reflection holds true in the history and in the philosophy of art only ‘so far as it holds true in the history and in the philosophy of all that is most splendid in creative epochs. As students of the world’s culture and as heirs of all the ages, we can as little afford to sneer at the epochs which “went to seed” in high art as at the epochs which “went to seed” in high literature or in other high achievements. “The dead but sceptered sovereigns who still rule our spir- its from their urns” are alike our “sover- eigns,”” whether it was the chisel, the pencil or the pen which they wielded for their scepters. Creation in art has always moved side by side with creation in letters or in other high forms of social evolution. We cannot think of Plato or Thucydides with- out remembering Ictinus, who reared the Parthenon, and Phidias, who adorned its pediments with his immortal sculpture. We cannot think of Zeno lecturing in the fres- coed portico of Athens without remember- ing the great artists who painted the frea- coes. We cannot think of Dante and Boc- caccio without remembering the reverent homage they paid to Gtotto, their great co-rival. We cannot think of the high lit- erature which flourished in the times of Queen Elizabeth without remembering the high art which flourished in the times of Lorenzo de Medici and Leo X. If in Eng- land the renaissance came to its li! ry efflorescence in the drama of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, it is in lee and in sculpture, in a Raphael and a Michael An- gelo, that we must look for {ts efflorescence in Italy, just as it is in maritime adven- ture and in art, in Columbus and De Soto, in Murillo and Velasquez, that we must look for its efflorescence in Spain. Such, indeed, is the kinship between the ideal in literature and the ideal in art that all great Hterature, all literature which has “power” in it (to use the phrase of De Quincey), Is destined to come to perennial transfiguration in the plastic and the graph- le art of succeeding ages. When Polyg- notus portrayed the sacrifice of a daughter of Priam at the tomb of Achilles he was said’ by the critics of his day to have put in her eyelids the whole story of the Trojan war. A few years ago as I sat in the studio of Sir Frederick Leighton, tn London, he took down his Homer and read the e which had inspired a picture sketched on his canvas, a picture of Andromache in her captivity. Dante and Artosto, Shakespeare and Milton come to perpetual revival in the art which they inspire, and which they will continue to inspire so long as literature and art shall have their votaries. High Aims. We alm to keep alive the tradition of high literature by our public libraries and by our universities. If we would keep alive the tradition of high sculpture and painting we must have our galleries and our schools of art. It was in this view that Lorenzo the Magnificent founded at Florence, in the gar- den of San Marco, that nursery of geutus which became the training school of Michael Angelo. For the tradition of Miter- ature we of this capital may look to the rational library. For the cultivation of the humanities and of philosophy, we may look to the untversities of our town, which is itself a university. For the promotion of selentific h We may look to the selentific bureaus fostered by the rational prudence and the economic thrift of the federal government, For the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men, we may look to the great institution which was y Smithson, and which was founded here because, it seemed to him, it was here that it could best subserve the as purpose to which he appointed it. py is it for the repute of our national capital, happy is it for the glory of art in the eyes of this nation, happy is it, let us hope, for the progress of art in the near and splendid future dawning upon our jand, that the beneficence of William W. Corco- ran has assured to us and to our fellow- citizens that the tradition of the fine arte shall for all time to come be here kept alive in a marble palace, which will bear on its very front the proclamation of its mission. We have taken care that the new temple which we are here to erect shall bear over its very threshold the same inscription which was selected by our founder: “Dedi- cated .to Art.” In a city replete with its adjurations to the highest patriotisin, let us hope that this inscription, with the ever- increasing treasures to which it shall beckon an admiring public, may here sum- mon our countrymen to enter into the full privileges of that high partnership to which they are called as American citizens. the partnership into which we enter, as the members of a civilized state, says Edmund Burke, “is not the partnership in things subservient only to the gross animal ex- istence of a temporary and perishable na- | ture, but a partnership in all art, a partner- ship in every virtue and all perfection.” The Ceremonies Proper. The religious cermonies were performed by Bishop Paret, who wore the robes of his | episcopal office. The ceremonies began with the Lord’s Prayer and were followed with a beautifully worded invocation for a blessing upon the institution, and a benediction on the memory of Mr. Corcoran and other men who, like him, have at heart the best in- terests of humanity and spend lavishly and with discretion of their great means for the benefit of their fellow men. Mr. Calderon Carlisie then read the list of the articles which had been deposited with- in the copper box which was placed in the corner stone. They were as foilows: Deed and charter of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, by-laws of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the first catalogue issued by the gal- lery, January, i874; the catalogue of the gallery in use at the present date, namely, May 10, 1804; the catalogue of the Tayloe collection, catalogue of photographs issued by the gallery, rules and regulations re- lating to the Corcoran School of Art, the copying of pictures, and the exhibition of | pictures; a lst of the gentlemen who have | served as trustees from the organization of the institution to the present time, the pres- j ent board of trustees, with a list of the | present standing committees; proceed- j ings of the board of trustees in memory of William Wilson Corcoran, February 25, 1888, the date of his death; a bronze copy of the Corcoran gold medal of merit,'a “Grand- father’s Legacy,” containing a sketch of the life of Mr. Corcoran; Congressional Dir2c- tory, 1804; the local papers of the day, | Washington Post, Times, Evening News, Evening Star, Herald Kate Field’: Washington; copy of the adress of the pres. ident of the board of trustees, J. C. Welling, | at the laying of the corner stone; a $20 gold plece of the coinage of 1804, program of the exercises held at the laying of the corner stone, copy of the card of invitation to the laying of the corner stone, record of visitors from January, 1874, to January, 1804; pho- tograph of the old Corcoran Gailery of Art and the Corcoran Art Journal for March, } 1804. | The Stone Swung Into Place, The corner stone was then swung into place, and Mr. William Corcoran Eustis, the eldest grandson of Mr. Corcoran, spread the } mortar with a handsome silver trowel, that was presented by the board of trustees for the purpose, and bore an appropriate in- scription. He carefully laid the cement over the copper box and around the edges of the stone, and, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Fanning, the contractor, the big piece of granite was dropped into place and made plumb and true. Bishop Paret then dismissed the audience with the benediction. —————- Butter is Still Low. Three-pound bricks for 75 cents of the Elgin Butter Company's celebrated butter, fresh from the creamery.

Delay in the Canal Traffic Ca the Rains. After working steadily for five days, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company's force has succeeded in taking from the great trench the immense quantity of al- luvial matter brought down by the rains of last week and Sunday night and deposited near Harper’s Ferry. In several places the earth filled the trench to the level of the towpath, completely blocking the passage of boats. The fields in the vicinity had been but recently ploughed, and the heavy rains had an easy time in carrying the soft earth into the canal. The dredges would have been almost useless in clearing the canal, and would not have been put into service had they been close at hand. Shov- els and carts and horses were the things most needed. It was one of the worst wash- ins the canal company has experienced for many years. No substantial damage, though, was done to the banks. They are still firm. This impediment to navigation, together with the trouble in the coal re- gions, has caused trade to slack up con- siderably on the old waterway. Coal men are unable to get supplies. Yesterday Mere- dith & Winship received but one load of the product of the mines, or about 115 tons, and but twice that much the day before. The demand from northern cities in consequence is not being promptly supplied. The rall- road companies are holding all the coal they get possession of for their own use. Mr, E. T.
