EXHIBITIONS 
AN event of importance to all book lovers will be the com- 
ing sale at auction in the Fifth Avenue Art Galleries, by 
Mr. James P. Silo, of a remarkable aggregate of rare and 
precious volumes, including many choice first editions, out of 
print editions, and superb editions de luxe. These volumes, 
selected by a connoisseur, during many years of travel, are 
works of the great classicists, writers of fiction, poetry, folk 
lore, history, biography and travel. 
A catalogue de luxe of the Marquand pictures and art 
treasures, to be sold by the American Art Association in Jan- 
nary, is in course of preparation, and will be profusely illus- 
trated by photogravures produced in the best manner, and 
printed on imperial Japan vellum, with several color plates. 
The descriptive matter and prefatory notes are by well 
known art writers and authorities, preceded by an introductory 
note written by Russel Sturgis. 
A collection of rare and beautiful textiles formed by M. 
Nitall Benguiat, was exhibited at the American Art Galleries. 
There were Flemish and other tapestries, rich velours, bro- 
cades, and work pictures, beautiful laces, ecclesiastical vest- 
ments and hangings, curtains, reproductions of rare antique 
stuffs and several antique silver sanctuary lamps. The exhi- 
bition was free to the public. 
The galleries of the dealers in both foreign and American 
pictures were never as attractive as this opening season, and 
there are continuous and continuing auction sales of pictures, 
furniture, brie a brae, hangings and china, with the great 
sales thus far announced of the winter, those of Marquand, 
Warren and Lyall collections, in the near future. Students 
should not miss these. 
The exhibition of the American Water Color Club, at the 
Fine Arts Galleries, was successful. 
Messrs. Augustus St. Gaudens, Daniel Chester French 
and John Quincey Adams Ward, the noted sculptors who 
compose a committee to advise regarding the sculptural scheme 
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, have been in St. Louis 
the last week, consulting with Mr. F. Wellington Ruckstahl, 
chief sculptor for the Exposition. The sculptors spent con- 
siderable time examining the lay-out plan of the fair and its 
development, into buildings and cascades, with the view of 
advising regarding the sculptural treatment.
