We present today the result of the ballots sent in to us for the members of the American Academy. It will be seen that Mr. George William Curtis, the editor of Harpers Weekly, heads the list, his name appearing on every list sent in to us. The names are arranged in the order of the number of votes, except where several received the same number, in which cases the alphabetical order is followed. In the course of a week we shall publish the list of names selected by the readers of the Critic, with which this list may be compared.
