LAST DAY OF THE POSTER SHOW.

The exhibition Of Columbia Art Posters which Is
being held at the Metropolitan Bicycling Academy

siders the fact that the most talented poster artists
Of this country have samples Of their work on ex-
hbiton. The collection comprises over 900 designs
and no two of them are alike They are all ori8-
nails and depict various scenes which II Is pleasure
