ADMISSION DAY FESTIVITIES.

The first week of the Mechanics Insti-
tute and Manufacturers and Producers
Exposition has been successful even be-
yond the anticipation of the management.
The average daily attendance has been
about 1000, a figure never before reached
during similar period. Now that the
booths are all in perfect physical and arts-
tic condition it is presumed the attend
ance will show a marked increase during
the days that yet remain of the exposition.
No feature, and it is natural under the
circumstances, has attracted such general
attention as the art gallery. 1t is perfect
in detail and reple.e with paintings and
etchings and pen sketches from local mas
tiers and those OF the old school. In all
there are 500 pieces on exhibition, includ-
inc statuary and wood carvings.
Society has taken verv kindly to the
gener Gus art display. Throughout the
week the long gallery has been thronged
with gay people, some genuine art critics,
others devotees to anything fashionable
and just now the exposition is the thing
1t is understood that during the coming
week, several, exposition parties will be
made up, the art gallery being the par
ticular objective point.
Among the local artists, John A. Stan
ton has some very pretty paintings, no.
ticeable among them being the Fisher
woman and TScene in Brittany" JouIlin
is also we'll represe ted, his models,
Diversion" and Study of Lupin" being
perhaps, the best. The technique, light
and coiors are characteristic of the artist
Among the other artists represented in
the gallery may be mentioned John Gam
Bile, l.. P. Latimer II. r. Boomer, Eva
Withrow, J. Frank Currier, Alice B. Chit
tenden, John Harrington, Alice Chandler,
William Hahn, Charles Nahl and G.
Chapel Judson.
There are some exquisite water colors to
be seen, notably one by Niles, 1.-The In
coming Fog" and a black and white
sketch by Jules Pages. Mrs. Chris Jor-
censor has & very pretty wood etching
the Smokers" while Rupert Schmid's
marble bust of Governor J. G. Downey is
