PICTURES or GREAT MERIT TO BE
SEENIN THE exhibition.

Although Mr.. seney's collection was
chosen 70 give eclat TO the grand opening
OF the new museum on the evening OF the
first OF September, many other pictures OF
great value and merit were also obtained
for the occasion. Some Of these are from
we'll known art dealers In New York,
schaus, Reichard and Knoedler, and
others are from the latest acquisitions TO
private collections In Detroit. We men
ton afew OF the most important pictures TO
show that they are In no way out OF place
among those that belong TO Mr.. seney.
There are two beautiful pictures by
Charles Delort, pupil OF Gerome; one
Holland scene, "Coming from Church, /"
the other. "A Cardinals Menu" This
artist 10 frequent exhibitor at the Paris
salon, and IL much praised for the dell
cacy OF his execution, and his treatment
OF genre subjects taken from eighteenth
century life. Two charming canyases,
"Fisher Folk" and "Tuny Fish
ingp are from the brush OF
the vigorous Swedish painter
August Hagborg. There is fine head by
Rau, and pretty genre by Adams, both
Munich artists. The exquisite coloring OF
Detti may be seen in "The Reprimand,"
and the poetic grace OF Aubert IN the
aurora" From Benjamin Constant aud
Richter one would be astonlshed to see
anything but gorgeous Oriental interiors,
graceful women and rich costumes, and
all we expect is here In "The siesta" and
"a Proposal" One Of Bouguercau's pu-
pills, who is well known, Leon Perrault,
shows the influence Of his master IN IA
Mothers Nap" where the coloring is yery
fresh and pure.
Our American artists In this collection
cannot fail to give satisfaction, for their
works, though few among so many for
eign ones, are really excellent. That
always popular artist, ). G. Brown, sends
us "Euchered Surcl" A. IL. Wyant
brings TO us from Ireland some hints OF
the beauty TO DO found in county
Kerry; Bolton Jones recalls 4 spring day
near Orange, N. j., and J. Francis Murphy
gives US a glowing sunset. These, with
the George Inness landscspes-landscapes
which at their best have no American
rivals, - the various pictures by
Frank ID. Millet, Ulrich, Weir.
Chase and George Fuller make
II impossible TO ignore the high
sttainments OF our own artists, or TO lose
the hope that someday America will have
gained such an undisputed position in art
that we shall no longer be subjected to
the annoyance OF finding the names OF our
talented men carefully excluded, with
very few exceptions, from all European
Out OF this great variety Of styles and
subjects no visitor can fail TO find some
thing agreeable and elevating, and all will
rejoice that at last we have an
art center In the state OF Michigan.

TO PATRONS AND ExHIRrroRs.

II Is frequently the fate Of newly
opened museums to be overwhelmed With
donations aud requests which II is not
considered advisable for them to receive
OF which they cannot properly care for at
frat. Again there may be those who wish
10 benefit the museum with gifts OF value
and may not know how 10 set about the
matter. For these reasons we quote a
portion OF the bylaws relative 10 the com
mittee on exhibitions and collections and
give the names OF The trustees. II may
also DO here stated that all gifts and be-
quests must be made 20 "The Detroit
Museum OF Art" The section Of the by
laws referred 10 Is as follows:
"The committee on collections and ex-
hibitions shall be composed OF five mem
bers, at least three OF whom shall be mem
beers OF the board OF trustees. They shall
have entire charge and supervision OF the
galleries and all works OF art and other
personal property belonging TO the mus
cum. The committee shall pass
upon all works OF art offered 70 the mus
cum for purchase or as donations, and
shall report their recommendations In re-
gard 70 the acceptance Of the same 10 the

reject works Of insufficient merit and
direct the arrangement and display OF

art), 10 it's great sentiment OF nature, and
the profound impression II has produced
There are many other Detroit artists
whose works are perhaps better known Ia
the city and state than those OF Mr..
Mclchers. Certainly there need be no
special mention OF Mr.. Lewis r. Ives,
whose portraits OF our leading men speak
for themselves, both those In the capitol
at Lansing nnd tho ones that are In the
private houses In the state.
His son, Mr.. Percy Ives, who was adj
mitted TO the salon OF 's7, has entered
seriously into the profession and shows
deep appreciation OF nature aud fine per-
ception OF color.
Miss Helen T.. Roby Is now studying IN
Paris, and many friends are anticipating
a successful future for her IN her
field OF labor, flower painting.
Mr.. jules Rolshoven has had mar
fine pictures on exhibition in Detroit f5
some years. Those In the old Art Loan
and the exhibition OF 80 received high
encomiums from all sides. lie Ia now in
Florcncs continuing his work, and n

beautiful Italian art center.
Mr.. Robert Hopkins praises are always
ON the lips OF those who arc most familiar
with the various aspects OF water In storm
or calm, aud who besides are able to tell
whether the drawing OF any sort OF sea
craft Is correct.
Mortimer J.. Smith Is a man OF many
tastes-and, fortunately for US, painting
ia one, for no one succeeds better than he
in portraying that exquisite sunset glow
on snow and nr trees which make our
winter landscapes 80 attractive.
Mr. Charles Harry Eaton has obtained
high honors In New York art circles,
much admiration In his native town, and
many OF his pictures adorn our Michigan
homes. Like most artists, he 10 forced
10 live where art Is appreciated, and since
he must live by HIS brush Detroit has had

Mrs. u. G. Holden Is noted enthusiast

structions In art and In every way sought
to foster II In her own town. Her inau-
ence has been very great in the develop
ing OF artistic tastes among the young
people.
Mr.. Hekking Is foreignerby birth and
great wsnderer by nature, for no place
holds him long. He Is wholly absorbed in
his work, and the number OF his pictures
in private galleries attest HIS popularity.
There are many others who are doing
good work, among them Wenzcl, Conely.
G. John Owen and William Mylne, and
who find ready sale for their works.
To very many OF these artists good
art school will be great boon In awaken
ing intelligent interest IN their work, aud
stimulating them 10 moro earnest efforts.

state at large, and even IN the
interest OF our trades and manufactures.
THIS work, initiated and thus far paid for
by a comparatively small number OF con-
tributors, should be recognized and cor
daily supported by every citizen, rich or
poor, now and hereafter, to the extent of
his ability.
IL this enterprise OF private citizens
should sometime In the future be adopted
by the municipal government as one Of
the institutions to which, as we have sug-
gcsted above, the public funds can be
legitimately applied, then will Detroit
have the honor OF being one OF the fore
most cities OF tho West in carrying into
enect an idea long ago ex-
pressed by the most eminent
OF American philosophers. II was
Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote the fol-
lowing words on the relation OF municipal
governments TO Museums OF Art: ~ do
not undervalue the fine instruction which
statues and pictures give; but think the
public museum IN each town will one day

OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION.

The first day Of September will see the
fruition OF years OF labor on the part Of
ladies and gentlemen who have freely
given OF their time and substance 10 make
Detrolt's art interests commensurate with
the Importance OF the city In wealth and
size, and its dignity as the metropolitan
community Of the state, and they will on
that day be filed with pardonable pride
In throwing open TO the public the beau
tiful building dedicated 10 art purposes.
To summarize briefly the attractions OF
that exhibition, which have been described
in detail elsewhere, and entirely apart
from the building itself, there
Will be first and foremost the
Seney collection, most admirable
selection from the gallery OF Mr.. Seney Of
New York, consisting OF 100 pictures,
representing most OF the great among
modern artists. In addition 10 this large
collection the best OF the works which
have recently been added 20 private gal
leries In Detroit and which include some
beautiful pictures, will increase the inter-
est I'm the exhibition. 1ne property Of
the museum in paintings, prints, casts
and otjets dart will be shown, and the
whole In the beautiful setting OF the new
museum building viii constitute an art
exhibition which, n not as large as the
famous one Of 1883, will certainly equal II
in the merit OF the pictures shown and
surpass II In general interest.

The price OF admittance win be 80 cents
on Monday and 20 cents on the other days
Of the week. AS was done during the art
loan exhibition OF 1893 n coin will be ac
cepted in place OF the regular ticket OF
admission. This is done TO save crowding
around the ticket Office and At the door,
and has been found a very great conve-
nience. A plan OF the building shown ON
the first page will materially assist visitors
In finding their way about the building
and save them the trouble OF asking
questions.
RAILROAD EXCURSIONS.
Very complete arrangements have been
made for the convenience OF residents OF
towns and cities in Michigan outside OF
Detroit. AT the last monthly meeting OF
the passenger agents for the Michigan
railroads, the representatives OF the roads
centcripg n Detroit, headed by Mr.. Ben
Fletcher, made an arrangement whereby
three OF tho eadIng roads will carry visit
ors to the exhibition over their lines for
half-fare on one day Of each week during
the exhibition. This day will be Tuesday
on the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee
railroad, Wednesday on the Detroit, Lans-
ing & Northern, and Thursday on the
