S e DID IT RIGHT OVER AGAIN. Chicago Once More Shut Out By the Home Team. BURDIOK MAKES A BIG RECORD Only One Hit Made Off Him and That a Scratch—-Beautiful Fielding All Around—Yesterday's Sporting Events. Omaha 3, Chicago 0. The Omahas played another great game yesterday afternoon, perfection itself, barring a fumble by Miller of hard hit grounder in the fourth, That was the home team’s only error in the entiro game. It wasa beautiful ruggle to look at, ifit hadn't been for Powoer's miserable umpiring, which on sev- eral occasions threatoned to offset the Omahas fine work. He was roundly and deservedly hissed. His decisions, declaring O'Connell out at second and Messitt at third, were, in the venacular of the street,, “rotten.” Aud then, too, he gave the local players decidedly the worst of it on both balls and strikes, and scemed chagrined over their marvelous per- formances in proventing the frantic redlegs from crossing the plate despite his manifest intention to assist them to do so. The young man probably means right, and he shall have the benefit of the doubt, but no one can say but that his umpiring yesterday was of the yellowest hue. However, everything panned out all 0.

But here is the story: J For a starter Burns flew out to Moriarity, essitt struck out and Annis rotired from hort to first. It was also one, two, three for he visitors, Long being thrown out by ogney to 0'Connel, Crogan on a grounder first, and Lange suved tio air.

For the windy men, Long struck out, Crogan died from Miller to 'Connell, 'but Lange reached first on o umble by Miller, and stole second, the only teal they made in the game. Rooks was given his base on balls, but Moriarity was extinguished on a long fly to Anais, who, whilé runuing with the ball at his fullest sheed reached out and pulled it down with ne hand. It was the greatest play of the cason, and oh, dear, how the crowd did train there lungs. Annis wvas compelled to off his cap a half dozen times, for his miracu- us catch saved the day.

Awain they hricked and whooped as Jas'k scooted down third on a passed ball. ~Annis now came up and banged a little one to Dwyer, who, instead of shooting it to first, turned and ught Messitt off of third. The agile Jack, owever, got buck in safety, but the umpire ouldn’t have it so, and he went over and urled up on the bench. Then Mr, Powers got roasted. O'Conneil followed with a high fly, which wyer ingloriously muffed, and Annis ran to hird in the confusion that followed. O'Con- oll stole second, but both were left, Miller etiring the side in a high fly to right. But Omaha had one run, and . feeling of curity took possession of the crowd that as lovoly to bebold.

EARNEST SEEKéRS AFTER TRUTH While One Oritic Says the Exhibits Show Conscigngions Work, An- other Calls it a Collection ofl Daubs. L Among the Plotares. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panrs, May 10.~[New York Herald Cable ~Specialto Tne Ber.]—1 have interviewed several American and French artists upon the salon. Paintors criticizing each other always talk interesting) Waltor Gay, whose character of subjects have already. madea fmark, is of the opinion that this yoar's salon‘is a fairaverage, but he adds that no particular work stands out for amedal. The dominant noto of this salon is its consclentious and painstaking workmen, B. L. Weeks, a pupil of Bonnat, and noted especially for his Indian pictures, considers that the chief merit of the salon of 1888 lics in its landscapes. He thinks if there is a falling off it is amongst the known painters ‘who have been overwhelmed with orders for sublime pot boilers. Mr. Henry Bacon, a pupil of Cabanel's, is convinced that the Paris salon improves every year. The progress lies chiefly in the exact- ness of detail which leads to a greater amount of technic: Mr. Alexander Harrison, a pupil of Bastien 1o Page, says that on the first day the salon appeared to him vory flimsy, buton examin- ing a second time he found it much better. Its chief characteristic was a high order of mediocrity. American artists certainly come out, very well. 3 Mr. Charles Forbes, a pupil of Carolus Duran, says his general impression of the salon of 1888 is favorable. His visits have been hasty ones and his judgments are nec- essarily of a fugitive order. He would like, however, to say he thinks American artists have been treated very fairly as regards the reception and hanging of their pictures. The medal is only an honor paid to the few. It may be looked upon father as a piece of flat- tery than a test of the absolute meritof the competitor. Mr. Charles 8. Reinhart, whose namo is a household word in Franco-American art, said in his genial way that he would like to be able to express his opinion in a bluut way. Mr. Reinbart opines that on the whole the salon is bad in France, The American only has a right to spend money to learn painting but ke musn’t paint anything saleable or sell 1t when painted. “As an American,” said Mr. Reinhart, “I am ashamed of a legislation that imposes a duty upon art, and as an artist I regret that pork and pictures should cause confusion.” G Walter MacEwati, ;who would not own to being a pupil of anybody and who is certainly amarvelous exponent mot only of modern Dutch life but its Jedtlier phases in New York, thinks that thb first impression of this year's salon is the apsénce of anything strik- ing. Great painters;deliver their annual 200ds in the usual way. Miss Elizabeth J."Gardner, a pupil of Bouguercaux and Le Fevre, who exhibits “Les Deux Meres’ a pathetic domestic scene, was disinclined to express a general opinion but certainly thinks it higher in tone than last year. Mids Gardner added, “As I get older and study more deeply I become more reverent andi Iess captious. I have been to the salon fifbe times, There are less horrors, less of triviacity and more truth.” 4 Another lady artist, Miss Eleanor Groat- orex, a pupil of Henner, who is noted for her Italiun scenes, takes a favorable view of the salon although she does mot think that a woman’s opinion on art subjects can be vory weighty. She is chiefly impressed by the absence of the blood and horror schools and by the tendency to tone down sheer sensa- tionalism. Miss Greatorex is pleased to see her countrymen and countrywoinen steadily progressing. Mr. Fugene Laurent Vail, a pupil of Cabanel, and noted for his successful sea pieces, thinks that the salon of 1338 presents a much better general appearance than might have been expected considering the nearness of next year’s exhibition for which 50 many artists are reserving themselves, Somuch for American opinion. Among French painters, M. Alfred C. F. de Caen, a puril of De Colling and Couder, noted for his animal and battle pictures, said: *This year's salon is wanting in the imagination. Open awr painting and portraits have taken the place formerly occupied by historical pictyres, which are souvenirs for the old and useful studies for the young.” Horace Ver net and Millet, who were the glories of their time aro, according to M. de Caen, super- seded by a superficial school of brush pho- tography, quite unequal to the master pieces, that are now forgotten. M. Torello Aneilloti, a pupil of the Flor- ence academy, whose marine and figure paint- ings have been much noticed, thinks the salon move attractive to artists than to the general public. Pelouse and Detaillo have never dono better. The arrangement of pictures is cruelly faulty, many gems being absolutely lost to the visitor from the fact of their being overpowered by larger and more brilliantly colored pictures. And yet the salon of 1838 is essentially one of tiny can- vasses which contain much more art than their larger neighbors, Mme. Hermence Horace del Bronner, like a difident woman with a true artist's soul, was timid about expressingan opwmion on this year's salon. She discerns, as every- body must discern, a higher ideal. The landscapes show vast improvement, and the result of the artists' outdoor work praves the teaching of tho colebmated masters to be cor- rect, although |-r,wt|n5nlll')' they have been too long neglected. Thigtiaching consisted of being a diseiple of najuge before all things, M. Emanuel Bennér'svas of the opinion that this year's mmu[i tves proof of much more talent than that.of last year. There are fewer mediocres pictures. American have given proof of¢ #xceptional brilliuncy and earnest work. '}’hb‘y take to themselyes all the good poivts ‘istilied into them by their masters but they still rotain an origin- ality which bids faih to make them rank among the first artists #f the world. M. Auguste Allongg,’a pupil of Cogniet who is scknowledged4q be a superior land- scape painter, doesi‘mot think this year's salon is an im]n‘u\'rullglfi upon former years. 1t contains some very @hod works but, with the excepuion of somé twenty or thirty pic tures, there is nothing to call forth un exces sive amount of admiration, M. Tony Robert Plenty is satisfied with cscut salon. It 18 the result of what be called artistic fevolution, The mark of to-day is sincere seeking after truth. Painters of the hour are proven by the ex- perience of their predecessors. Landscape painters paint from uature instcad of con- tenting themselyves with photographs, Their opeu air figures are panted on the spot with the aeal effocts of light gud shade ouly to be obtained in this way. This entails more labor, but the trouble is repaid by the artistic vesult, M. ¥leury thinks that Americans aremaking great progress. Thoy are steady Lard workers, with much latent talent. Mr. Eugene Ballange, 4 pupil of Picot, apd H. Ballange, suotber well-kuowa - battletield brush, think that this year's salon shows signs of fecblencss as compared ‘with that of 1887, His decidod opinion, however, 1s that the American oloment is annually showing greater strength and undoubted talent. Mile Louise Abbona, & pupil of Chaplain, Henner and Carolus Duran and the painter this year of a portrait of her friend, the di- vine Sarali’s nicce, said “My opinion of this vears salon might be summed up inthe words ‘c’est bon.’ I like to see an evidence of hard, earnest work. Of this there is far more than in former yoars. I think American artis are very woll treated hore. Yos, they are certainly disciples of the French masters, and their progress is an homage to French art. But why doos thoir government tax piotures from France! Vengeance and pork, what an unartistic idea. Perhaps as awoman T am not entitled to speak on fiscal questions, but I must confess it looks like a desecra- tion.” M. Jean Jacques Henner, the pamter of *'St. Sobatian,” said, “The Herald is asking me a very delicate question. Lot mo begin by saying that there is no such thing as an average for artists. The publio looks at the thing from what may be called an aggregate point of view. Itcounts up the remarkable works on its fingers and wants to judge an annual collection from that standpoint. Now this is a mistake. To a competent judge every salon is alike. It consists of a multitude of good, earnost pictures, the emanation of truly ar- tistic souls and a limited sprinkling of infer- nally bad ones.” M. Charles Chapin said: L have only paid a cursory visit or two to to the salon and 1 emphatically say that it is worse than ever. It is # disgrace to France, I think that painters capable of good work should not send in such cart loads of rubbish and then call it a ropresentative oxhibition of French art. The fact is they devote neither care nor attention to the salon. Many of the pictures were only commenced a few weoks before receiving and then pitched in simply because it is in the fashion to be exhibited at the salon. The young girls who want to get married must have a salon picture along with. their wedding presents, The subjects of the pictures exhibited with the exception of those of a few real artists are only chosen for the mar- ket and to please the public. Art is quite a secondary consideration, Unless certain painters look sharp they will find that their names will be as transicnt as those certain authors who only look for a sensation and several editions and whose trash will not last half a generation. That is my opinion of this year’s salon which is full of unnecessary daubs—croutes.” M. Edouard Detaille, the well known painter of military subjects, gave it as his opinion that the salon of 1858 is chiefly marked by more earnest secking after vorac- ity as distinguished from cffects or from the still more pernicious system of following and pandering to the popular mind. The classifi- cation of pictures is becoming & positive ne- cessity. There should be large rooms for colossal pictures and tiny ones must be rele- gated to smaller rooms, Landscapes should be all together and portraits also. It is absurd to see small pictures iv the stately vestibule crowded in between huge decorative paint- ings and dwarfed accordingly. Lastof all I interviewed one of tho great modern masters—M. W. A. Bougereau, a member of the institute and the painter of “Adam and Eve Wailing Over Their Son Abel in this year's salon. He said: “I think there is nothing marked about the exhi- bition.” ““The question of relative merits,” he added smilingly, “is a very ticklish one to answer. You journalists are always wanting some- thing absolute. There is a great deal of good work in the salon. “Some of it is remarkable. I am notnow speaking in the erroneous, pop- ular sense which made these annual shows better or worse on the lines of there being more or less striking or sensational works. In this year there will probably be no medal awarded. Why? Simply beciuse there are several works of sufficient exceilence to com- pete for it. Believers in one or the other will only vote for that particulzr canvas and it 18 just Likely that neither will obtain the necessary quota of votes of the jury. But docs that show a falling off in the salon! On the coutrary, the more numerous the works of extraordinary merit the less chances of any one obtaining the medal. A RIVAL GALLERY, A New One Opened in London in Op- position to the Grosvenor. LCopyright 1888 Ly James Gordon Bennett.| Loxhoy, May 10.—{New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee. |—The new gal- lery, a sworn rival of the Grosvenor, opened its doors to-day in Regent street to the gen oral public. The public went in only mode: ate numbers. It is a charming little place, small, cool, and not capable of being over crowded. In the gallery are 350 paintings. Famous artists are not wanting among the exhibitors. There are Alma Tadema, R. A., who has six small pieces; Burne Jones, A. R. A., who has no fewer than eight; Herkimer, A. R. A., with five; Millais with two: Watts, R. A., with one, and others. On the whole it is an exhibition well worth visiting. I was fortunate enough to obtain @ tew views from Sir Johu Millais, whom it is diiMeult to interview. He was scen at his residence near the Palace gate. Ho roceived me in his studio, the walls of which are hung with gobeliu tapestries, and containing casels and screens bearing the artist's handiwark; a choice Vandyke over the mantel and & large Velasques opposite. No," said Sir John, laughing, “I rarely £0 to oxhibitions, I have euough of that sort of thing without sceing it. Then I can't stand the crowds. Still, although I have not been inside, I know om most certain author- ity that the new gallery contains a choico and valuable collection of paintings, but I re- gret that a division has taken place, It will injure both galleries, and I doubt if this new veuture will prove a financial success, much as I dosire it. There is one good thing about it, that the pictures are not huddied together cheek by jowl as they are at the academy. T was much amused at the criticism in one of to-day's papers on my two pieces i the new galiery. The writer was evidently greatly dissatisfied with them, Now, I know when I do good work as well as anyone, and I have never done anything better than that very same ‘Last Rose of Summer,’ to which my friend objects 80 soriously. I never kunow quite what to make of critics, and so I sel- dom read them, One condemns while the other applauds, Half of them are broken down artists." Asked about the two other galleries, Sir John added: *“No, there is very littie differ- ence betwoen the Grosvenor school of art and the academy. Of course, the Burne Jones style has flourished there, but Gros- venor gallery was made by members of the ncademy, just as this new gallery wiil be made by them if it can be made atall. They may say what they please about tho academy; it gathers in all tho best artists of the country. As what I say is for an Amori- can newspapor, lot me say a word about American art studonts, They are coming abrona by the thousands every yoar to study. In that they do well, for art roaches its climax in the countrios where civilization 18 old—perhaps the best of all in those countries which are entering on their decadonce. It was 80 with Holland and Spain and Greece and Rome; it may bo so to-day with England. In any case we have had a good funing, but however that may be, it 14 certs that the artistic condi- tion of England is second to that of no coun- try in the world. France is tho first to admit this and to cover our artists with honors when they exhibit in the salon, and yot Americaus cannot be shaken from their faith in Paris as the centre of the world of art. 1t is as well to let them go there; thoy will como away with a bad French accent, not alone on their tongues but on their brushes.” Much more that Sir John said was under the seal of privacy. He was looking very well and hopes some day to cross the At- lantic, ——— She Wouldn't Interfere.

Onicago, May 10.—[Spocial Telegram to Tnr Bee.|—The interest of grain traders centered to-day in the government crop re- port. 'That roport put the averago condition of winter wheat at 73, which s the lowest averago given In any May roport for eight years. This report caused an immodiate jump of about 1c, but that was spee lily lost, and at the close of this morning's sossion wheat was ¢c lower than at last night close. Touse a common phrase of the pit, the report had been ‘‘discounted.’ Too many people had bought wheat with the intention of unloading it on a bulge caused by the gov- ernment’s figures. There was very good buy- ing at times, but the avalanche of long wheat upon which holders wanted to realize at onco was too much for the strength of the Imme- diate market. Moreover the bears, who huve been idle for some time, not knowing the worst, were ready to sell some wheat. The government figures show a declineof 9 points from the April report. The shortage, reck- oned from these figures, is vari- ously estimated by traders at from 45,000,000 bushels to 80,000,000 bushels, However, with the acreage s5 uncertain, because of the amount plowed up for other crops this spring, any computation of the yiold would seem very much like guess work. The bulls have felt strong in the beliof that this report, if bad, would force foreigners, in whom now is the only groat short inter- est, to cover, but there was no indication during the morning's session that they were doing anything of the kind. Possibly that may occur later, and possibly not at all, Private cables this morning showed no un- easiness about the matter. First sales of June wheat were at 85';c and of July 86igc, During early trading July wheat ‘touched 88%c and the fell to S5%c, largely on the re- port that the Cincinnati Price Current would give the present condition of winter wheat at 75, which was better thano the ostimates made here, There was a reaction to S6%c, then a decline to 86¢ and between that price and 865 there wore several fluctuations, but with no_very great trading, as everybody was wuitin‘; for the government report. It came alittle after 11 o'clock and was soon known by everybody on the floor. The price of July wheat jumped from S6lgc to Sijc without a single reaction and without much ding, fell to £63{c, advancedjto 87c, fell to touched S7c 'again, then declined to ue, reacted to 867¢c, then fell with but small reaction to 85}jc, advanced to $55{c, and closed at 1 o'clock ut 853¢c. June wheat, which opened at Shisc, sold up to 86, down to 8435c, and closed at 1 o’clock at $4%¢c. In the presence of the crop report the other in fluences which are usually felt were for- gotten. Public cables were higher, and the grain movement table, while showing only meagre exports, was decidedly bullish in small receipts. Minneapolis only roceived 48,000 bushels of wheat and shipped out 23,000 bushels. These things, however, were of small account to-day. The corn market was dull and stupid all the morning. The extreme range was only 3fc, The ecxcitement in the wheat market had withdrawn attention from everything else. As a resuit of the morning's trading prices for corn were left just where they were last night. In the meantime there had been a small advance but it was lost before the close. The ouly active trading was at 56¢ for July corn where there appearcd to be & vy 1AFge—m o amount for sale, Ieceipts were consider- ably smaller than expected. July copn opened at 5%c, sold at bbc, then down to 553c,up to 561 ¢,down to und closing at 533gc, June corn followed the same course except that the highest price touched was The speculative oats market opened strong and advanced a little in sympathy with corn, but there was an easier feeling luter and the close was at a small decline from yesterday. Trading was light. May oats openad at 34qc asked and sold down to and closed at 83c. June oats opened at 33ic, sold at 33}¢¢, down to and closing at 33%5c.
