whereas, the aggregate space which
it has been possible to reserve for the

ment, $50 English, and $50 from other

For the Art Exhibition, the most
eminent American artists are under
stood to he at work, and il may be
confidently stated that, especially in
the department Of landscape painting
the United States will present finer
display thar The public has been led
to expect. Quite aside from the con.
tribuilons of American artists, appli-
cations from abroad call for more than
four times the exhibiting space affor-
ded by the great Memorial Hall. Pro-
vision for the surplus will be made
in temporary fre-proof buildings,
though all exhibiting nations will be
represented in the central Art Gal
