MI EXHIBIT DREW HT OLYMPIC CROWDS STADIUM DESERTED WHILE THE FRANCO-BRITISH SHOW WAS LARGELY AT TENDED RARE PICTURES ON VIEW French Paintings Disclose a Greater Sincerity Than Those of Englishmen. LONDON. —Everyone fancied that '.hi great attraction of the Franco-Britisn Exhibition would be the Stadium with the Olympic games. And what has happened? As a matter of fact, the Stadium was frequently deserted, while the stu« 'o palace devoted to French and English art has awakened Immense Interest. The national exhibits are beperately grouped, and it is well for the more re cent painters of Great Britain that they are not forced into close comparisons with thier French brethern. Fortuna tely for the Britons, the dead masters or both nations have been admitted to the exhibition, but the French hflve availed themselves only sparingly of this li berty. The British, on the other hand, have drawn unhesitatingly upon their masters of bygone generations. Yet, even with th© tremendous edvan tage to the British exhibits of having supplemented the galleries of living painters with a museum of retrospec- ! tiy© British art, 1 saw more life and i more truth in the French art section. Both, I make haste to add, have nobly in their fight for honor. In fact in this Franco-British palace one suffets from a positive plethora of a.ti&tic wealth. FRENCH SCHOOL IS SUPERIOR TO ENGLISH. What most impressed me was the su periority of the French over the British school in the matter of sincerity. One sees that, while the British school lias labored more or less steadily for the past hundred years to atain beauty of a ! conventionalized kind, the painter across ! the Channel have worked in the direc tion of truth. Nor do the tendencies of the two schools seen to be changing to any marked or noteworthy extent. Only the Ideal of beauty of many of the British painters has of late degenerated into an Ideal of prettiness, while the French iiow strain at times less after what I might call truth tastefully edited than after realism. With rare exceptions, too, the BrUish painting lack the temperamental quality. They are seldom bold, more seldom rug ged, never compelling. In the French galleries there are paintings which at the first glance startle one. But they are usually the results of temperamental sincerity. As Instances of supremety British con ventionalized art I may mention the “Bower Meadow” of Rometti and “Le Chant d’ Amour’’ of Burne-Jones. The compositions painfully and most serious ly ordered on the pattern of the early Italian masters, the figures all artfully posed, the original humanity of the faces replaced by idealizations. To preceive what comes of the T#er< worship of prettiness in art, you need only look at the works of Poole and Mor ris—all grace, all sickly loveliness and ‘ simpering charm. One of the worst and most popular, pictures in the exhl- I billon is Poole’s Seventh Day of The j Deearmeron." Both the ladles telling naughty stories and the gentlemen who ; ‘ listen are too sweet for anything, j ! “Among living artists classed as dashing and effective Portraits of the Elche. ] I Lady Tennant.

She was picked out for having the ability to keep a secret famous portrait by Carolus, Duran, Bonnat, Benjamin Constant and Duez; two Rosa Bonheur, and many more de lightful canvases. Taken as a whole the French pictures and the French sculptures in the exhibi tion are singularly sane and honest Few ! of the perverse eccentrics who flaunt i themselves yeear after year on the walls jof the salons have been admitted Lo tne j galleries, while if one may judge from j the dency of almost all the compositions on view-, the juries responsible must have selected the exhibits with a predeter mination not to call a blush to the most sensitive cheek. In one of the rooms, I was glad to see “Les Foins,’ (“The Haymaker.”) a work by Bast Jen-Lepage, which, twenty years ago, caused excited controversy. Timo has mellowed and dignified the realism of the painting. The peasant gurL who stares at vacency, while her male com rade, stretched out on the haytield, snores in peace, has lost much of the coarseness which shocked one when tho picture was first exhibited. She seems less bestial. Picquant by the contrast is suggests is the charmingly delicate “Young Wo man at the Water-Side,” by Heilbutt. It was hardly kind to send no better example of Puvis de Chavannes than his “Beheading of John the Baptist.’ The John who kneels in the center of this [ composition, awaiting death by tno sword of Herod's myrmidon, hus little in common with the hero of the Salome episode. MANIAC, WITH RAZOR, THREATENS MAN’S LIFE NEW YORK. —Demanding a targ* sum of money, a man believed to be insane forced his way into the office of Mayor Stiles, of Hoboken, today and, drawing a razor, threatened to kill the executive unless the money was immediately forthcoming. Mayor Stiles, seeing he had a maniac to deal with, told him to watt, and go ing from the room, summoned the police. After a struggle the man wai locked up and taken to the county jail. SIX CROATIANS ARRESTED WHEN ABOUT TO LAND NEW YORK. —When the Deutsch land arrived at the dock today six men in the steerage received the shock of their lives as detectives calm ly picked them out of the crowd and held them apart from .their ro«*- rades. The men were seized at the qtu/it of the Hungarian government as being concerned In the robbery of SB,OOO and the attempted murder of a man in Vacz, Hungary. AH the riien , are Croatians.
