director of fine arts, the general idea
to be carried out i'm the exhibition of
fine arts at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton is to make completely represent

The works of which the exhibition Is
to be composed are classified as fol-
lows:

diums: miniatures. cartoons.
Group 2.-Sculpture, including med
ais and canoes.
Group 3.--Drawings. etchings. en-

Group 4.-Architecture.
All works in all classes must be ORR
snal productions. nna no copies Of

same medium as the originals or In
different mediums. will be accepted.
The exhibition will be made UP in
great part by direct invitation, thus
securing from artists and owners the
most notable and excellent works. and
these will be placed in groups. So far
as possible all the pictures by a given
artist will be hung side by side. so that
the artistic value of his achievement
may be estimated by seeing several
works together and not by examples
scattered about in the different rooms.
