lion Of keeping the Museum open on sundays VIII be
decided Unless the officers receive word That the OIL
now before the legislature providing for the payment

short time, II Is probable that the Museum VIII DC
closed hereafter on the first day Of the week The
funds Of the Museum for that purpose are exhausted
According to the provisions Of the bill, which has
M, sed the Assembly. the expenses for the present
year will be taken out OF the appropriation Tor the

the use Of the Museum. 1t was already disposed Of
when apploa alton made TO the Board OF Estimate
The officers of the Park Department have opposed the
bill for that reason, and, II is said, have been in Albany
for that purpOse Although the Museum has lost
members by the decision to on Sundays 1t Is TO
be hoped that II will not be closed again on that day
General Louis y. di Cosnola is busy preparing

Obliged 10 prepare for Its temporary exhibition,

occupied by bronzes and various objects OF art The
General was obliged to take this room. rs there was
no other available. The objects heretofore on ex-
hbltlon there will be packed In the basement Various
changes must be made The cost OF arranging the
exhibition will be about 81. 200. which will make
another hole In the Museums treasury. The Moore
collection will be ready for exhibition in about two
