This really remarkable display, which will go down in N. Y.'s art history
as one of the few events — for there is a wide distinction between incidents and events, in said history — and which has already excited, not only the galleries, studios and the art public, but even the larger public of the Metropolis which, although perhaps
comparatively ignorant on the subject of art, is always athirst for a new sensation — is like a «bomb from the blue & quot; in the artistic camp of American
painters and sculptors.
