OPENED WELL
HORACEsK. TURNER EXHIBIT
A WINNER
The Finest Exhibit of Pictures
Ever Seen in Greeley-Was
Shown in High School
Building

The Horace X. Turner art exhibit
suitable for school room decorations
opened in the west wing of the Gree
ley high school building. yesterday
afternoon.
The exhibit is even better than
the advance notices claimed for it.
No person in Greeley with the least
love for art should miss this oppor-
tunity of seeing this collection.
The exhibit fills up the walls Of
three of the school rooms, and there
is not one picture that is not copy
from some of the old and modern
masterpieces of art.
An enumeration of the pictures
would be practically impossible, ow-
ing to the great number, and it
would be equally hard to determine
which were the best in the collection
as it would depend altogether upon
the subject in which a person was
interested
The subjects OF the pictures range
all the way from the humorous to
the deeply religious. Ancient
Roman and Greek architecture form
considerable part OF. the exhibit.
Two views of the Greek Parthenon,
and several Roman arches are shown.
The Coliseum and Arch of Constan-
tine. the bridge and castle of st.
Angelo, the dome of st. Peters, the
arch of Titus, are only few repro
ductions of ancient architecture.
There are dozens of other samples.
Egyptian subjects are also well
represented, in the Sphinx, the
pyramids, Pharaoh's Bed and many
others.
American patriotic subjects are
very complete. These embrace re-
productions of practically all the
noted paintings portraying import
ant events in the nations history.
None of the pictures are cheap re-
productions, but such as as might be
found in the best homes in the
country, where originals were unob-
tainaple. Many of the pictures are
actual photographs, but of enormous
size.
In the American series are a
number of pictures of Washington
marking important events in the
career of the nations father. These
are viv:dly reproduced, some in
colo,s, others in black and white.
Washington crossing the Delaware,
and Washington bidding farewell to
the army are both masterpieces, and
give one a real patriotic thrill.
Animal pictures found in the COL
lection are by such celebrated artists
as LandSeer, Bonheur Mauve,
Riecke, Douglas and many others
Landscapes are by equally celebrated
painters in their line.
But description of picture is
one of the hardest things to do salts

If there is one person in Greeley
who would begrudge the % cents
necessary TO see the exhibit, he
should be given his money back after
he has seen the collection.
Nobody can see this collection
without going away feeling that he
has added considerably to his store
of knowledge, and also with feel
ing that his taste for the beautiful
has at least been awakened to some
extent.
The exhibit will be open every
afternoon for the rest of the week.
1t has been brought here by the
Tribune working with Superintend-
ent Charles f. Carter and other
teachers of the city schools. The
entire proceeds will go toward buy
ing pictures for beautifying the
walls of the school rooms.
Those who care but little for art
may still find it worth their while
to help in this fund for the making
Of more pleasant surroundings in
the school rooms. The results are
promising already.
