PLACES OF INTEREST IN PHILADELPHIA. ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS.
The Academy of Fine Arts. at the corner of Broad and Cherry str ets, is a handsome structure in the Byzantine or Venetian style of architecture. Over the portal on Bro id street stands a mutilated colossal statue, in marble, of the goddess Ceres. The second story is reached from a noble hall forty feet square by a grand flight of stairs fifteen feet iu breadth. Here the entrance to the art galleries is made through a noble vestibule enriched by thirty- one polished columns of rose-crystal marble, with polished black marble bases and richly sculptured capitals. Eighteen of them support the pointed arches which enclose three sides of the hall on the second story, seven support the stair-landings, and from four of magnificent proportions and beauti- ful in color and quality springs the ponderous archway that spans the main stairway. The gal- leries are all lighted from the ceiling, and are ar- ranged in the mo-t approved method. In the cen- tre gallery is a very fine piece of statuary in the heroic group by Lough, of the " Battle of the Cen- taurs and Lapithiv." and the more important. marbles are "Jerusalem, " by Story, "Penelope," by Ripaldini, "Deborah" by Lombardi, "The Prodigal Son" by Mosier, Power's bust of "Pros- perine," and Palmer's "Spring." The galleries of the upper stories are occupied by the statuary collection, which is very fine. The Academy Is open to the public every day, and on Sunday from one until six o'clock. On week-days 25 cents is charged for admission, but on Sunday admission is free.
