a Few ADVANCE NOTES
Concerning tho Art Exhibition ut the G.
cinnnti Centennial.

Concerning tho Art Exhibition ut the Gin
cinnnti Centennial.
Only few daubs of paint and q few
square inches OF canvas, and yet !,
it is worth PRINCES ransom. That is
the case with many an art work which
will be on view Mt the Centennial Expo
sition held in Cincinnati. Why one paint
ing should be of more value than another
of the same superficial area depends
and the word should be In capitals, for
the relation of the daubs of paint to tho
canvas varies with the genius Of the one
who combines them.
Art Hall has now upon its walls n loan
collection of one hundred and twenty
five masterworlls, valued at $1,000, 900.
These splendid paintings have been
kindly loaned by Mrs A. A. Thomas,
Messrs. George !. Sency, Calvin S. Brice,
of New York City; Governor II. A.
Alger, of Detroit, Mich; James j. Hill,
Robert Manufacturer, of st. Paul, MINI.
George M. Pullman, Charles Hutchin-
son, ii. G. Wicker, Of Chicago; Charles
Kellogg, William Hooper, Alex McDon-
aid, G. C. Waite, George Mclaughlin,
David Gibson Charles Flcischmnnn,
Charles Hofcr, IL. G. Ezekiel, II. Stern,
of Cincinnati while the State of Ken
tucky is represented by splendid full
length, lfc-size portrait OF General Har-
rlson, the hero of Tippecanoe.
Besides this wonderful loan collection
there is u strong American exhibit of
about scventyiiye very beautiful works,
representing the len ling n n ,ricln art
lists now painting In this country and
Paris, These represent u value of over
@2OO, 900.
Among the great works of masters
stands ''rl,e Last Hours of Mozart" by
/ Munkacsy--the property of Governor X.
A. Alger, of Detroit. This great and
well ll-known canvas, fifteen feet In length,
is by artists and critics pronounced the
chefe d'oevre of the great Hungarian
painter.

length and fourteen feet high, represent.
