THE COMING EXPOSITION.
An Important and Liberal Change
in the Art Gallery.

AN Important ana Liberal ChanSe
in the Art Gallery.
The Minneapolis exposition managers
have decided to make quite a change in
the conduct of the art gallery this sea-
son. 1t has been the custom TO charge
an admission fee of 10 cents for the art
gallery in addition to the quarter at the
turnStiles. Now the art section will be
free to all. But the most important in
uovation is in the lire of encouragement
of amateur art-a branch which has not
been fostered by the previous policy OF
the exposition. Most OF the art gallery
this year will be devoted to amateurs.
and very liberal premiums have been
provided to encourage large and rep
resentatIve exhibit.
These gifts amount in value to up
wards of $500, and are given by the eX
position management and various Mn
neapoiS merchants and others interest
ed in the advancement of art.
General Manager w. T. Bracket. who
has Personal charge of the art depart
ment wishes to have very Tull and
complete display of amateur art, and lie
believes from what he has already
learned that the exhibit will be not only
large and varied. but highly cre.litable
to the artistic taste and requirements of
the Northwest. While making a special
point of the amateur work and the
premiums offered therefor, Mr.. Bracket
wishes it distinctly understood that pro-
feSSiOnal work is welcomed, and that
amateurs need hot enter their prOduc-
tons in competition if they simply wish
to have them in the exhibition.
Those persons who wish to compete
should observe that entries close Sept.
l. Articles may be delivered at art gal
lery between Aug. % and Sept. 4, after
which date none will be received.
The upper rooms in the art gallery
annex Will be used for this display, aud
all articles will be in the care Of conf
peteHt attendants for arrangement and
display. There will be ample space de-
voted to cases for such articles as must
be protected under glass and loo k aud
key.
That the premiums offered for anna
teur art are most liberal is shown in the
