LEAGUE OF NEW YORK
BY H. AV. FROHNE.
The annual exhibition of architecture, paint-

public in the Fine Art Building in New York
on January 29 and continued until February 18,
was one of the best-conceived affairs of its kind

large number of works on view fewer spectacular

pieces than of recent years, the showing, as a whole,
was eminently satisfactory, both from a technical
and a popular standpoint. To the closer observer
it was evident that the past few years witnessed the
conception and execution of a comparatively
smaller number of works of magnitude, a reflection
of the commercial setback of 1907, which affected

year’s League exhibition lacks in works of the first
importance is, however, more than compensated by
the noticeable elevation of standard in its every de-
partment. For several years it has been remarked
