of members of the Editorial Convention have
already visited and viewed the splendid pict-
ures Of Jerusalem, together with the many

of the lovers of art as of those Interested in

Before closing this report, your Committee
desire particularly to express its thanks to
the English, Irish and German press of this
city, which manifested very liberal spirit
and whose assistance at the present time OF
the infancy of the Wisconsin Art Association
will be all the more gratefully cherished by
its NJ embers.
We believe that with ju6icious manage
ment, guarded by its constitution and by
laws, the Wisconsin Art Association cannot
fail to be every way success, and its Art
Gallery and contemplated Academy of
Drawing and Design become credit to the
city of Milwaukee and the State, in who're
interest it has been formed.
