THE HERADREpUBLCAN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. SUNDAY 49,

Washington state building just before
the close of the exposition.
This week our sister state. Idaho,
comes to the front, when the state build
ing will be the scene of elaborate enter
tanning. The chief executive of the state,
Governor Brady, and staff, together
with local bands and companies Of ca
diets will be on hand, accompanied by a
large number Of private citizens from
the Gem state, to show their loyalty to
the state as well as the A.-Y.-P. expo
sition. Invitations are issued by the
commission and hostesses for a formal
reception and ball Thursday evening in
the Washington state building.
The exercises will mark the last off,
cial functions Of the exposition with the
exception of the ceremonies in connec-
ton with Taft day, when elaborate GER
emonies will be held in honor Of the ma
tons chief executive.
Palace Of Fine Arts.
Even a partial review of the great fair
and its many attractions would be con-
sidered incomplete without a mention of
the magnificent steel and brick building
know as the Palace Of Fine Arts on the
exposition grounds, one of the perma-
nent buildings which will revert to the
University Of Washington TO be used as
a school of chemistry.
The building now houses so valuable
a collection that the insurance is placed
at 81 500, 600
While perhaps the collection is not as
large as at previous expositions, it is
wonderfully well selected, and includes
many noted and choice paintings by the
old masters and cOntemporaneous works
brought from all parts Of the world
Rembrandts, BOtticellis, COrots, Tur-
ners, Mtllets, Sargents, Murillos, Rey-
nOlds, GainsbOTOughs, Lelys, Rubens
TintOrettOs, SchryeTs, COrreggiOs, Van
Dycks. There are corridors devoted to
fine display Of sculpture.
An interesting display also, is the
Curtis collection, where the walls Of the
room are hung with choice sketches TAX
en- from the portfolios accompanying
that noted work of art by Edward S
Curtis, THE North American Indian,
comprising twenty volumes, for which
the modest sum Of $3.50 is asked.
A room is filled with a magnificent
display of sterling silver, the central
feature being the century vase, four feet
and two inches in height, worth $50. 000
manufactured by the Graham company
to commemorate the completion Of the
first century of the republic of the
United States of America. Here also
is seen priceless bric-a-brac and dis
play Of Tiffany stained glass and arts
tic high art electric lamps, bronze stat
uary, and many other valuable treas
ures of art.
It is needless to say that this palace OF
fine arts is thronged by artists and low
ers of the beautiful, who spend days
and hours, catalogue in hand, exploring
its rich depths of artistic lore
An interesting feature in connection
with the. rare collection which has beer
loaned by philosophical citizens
throughout the country, is the fact that
Salt Lake is represented by six valuable
uaintings loaned by NJ. H. Walker OF
Salt Lake. The pictures, which are the
work of French artists, are hung in gal
lery H. They are:
Fortune Teller. Handsome" 'oThe
Lessons" THE Bathers." Maternal
Love" Marine" and are among the
most valuable and notable in the gal
lery.
Regrets.
Already there is a feeling of regret or
al sides that the successful Exposition
BeautifuI' will soon be a thing of the
past. Every day farewelIs are said by
hOstesses and others who have beer
connected with the buildings during thC
summer A feeling of sadness accom-
panies each look at the artistic harmo-
NOUS buildings and exquisite grounds
knowing that within a few short weeks
the streets will be deserted, the busy
life and interesting hustle Will be nc
more known, and only memories of the
beautiful exposition city will be left e
be added to others which will remain q
JOY forever.
