CALVERT STORE PRAISED.
Manager RosenthaI Receives Con-
gratuIatiOns for offerings.

"Congratulation day was observed yes
terday at the Calvert store. which made
its debut Wednesday as a haberdashery
shop. at the northwest corner Of Four
teenth and streets.
From early morning friends OF Calvert
RosenthaI. who is in charge OF the store,
and who was formtrly floor manager at
Parker 6, Bridget's, called TO congratulate
him upon the successful opening OF the
store. upon its attractiveness. and the
quality of goods In stock. Many flower
pieces were presented by well-wishers Of
the firm.
Mr.. Rosenthal said that the celebration
incident TO the opening had not inter
fel led with business. the volume or
which, he declared, was far beyond his
expectations.
The quarters used by the store were re-
modelled at a large cost. and the interior
work and the furnishings. which are all
in mahogany. give the store rich as
pect. Everything is exhibited to the Gus
toner in a convenient and attractive man
ner.
Associated with Mr.. Rosenthal in the
store as statesmen are Tucker Barbee,
Dana Holland. Charles Wilson. and Hor-
ace Elmer. To his visitors yesterday Mr..
R0senthaI presented souvenirs in the form

/ A National Gallery Of Art was born to
the nation yesterday with the throwing
open OF the doors Of the new $s,5oO.00C
structure of the National Museum. II
was a gala event, participated in by the
elite of the city and official representa-
lives of national and District govern
ments to the number of nearly 1900, all
Of whom were the specially invited guests
Of the institution.
BY the act Of its foundation the Smith
sonian Institution was made the custodi-
an OF the collections Of art. as well as OF
natural history. belonging to the nation,
but it was not until 1906 that any consid-
cradle number Of works of art were re-
eeived- Even these have not been ae-
oessible TO the public until the opening
of the present structure, where they are
temporarily placed in the skylighted part
Of the middle building, where they will be
displayed until the more appropriate, spe-
cially adapted quarters can be furnished
As notable as was the event of the
opening. it was entirely devoid of any set
programme, the regents OF the institution
depending upon the magnifcence of the
Il.
historical. and chronological display 10
maintain the interests of their guests.
There will be a like absence Of ceremony
attending the opening OF the building TO
the public this morning at o'clock, and
continuing each day thereafter from to
O'Clock
In addition 10 the original collections
Of the Smithsonian Institution the coll
lections include the bequest of Mrs. Har-
riet Lane Johnston, the gifts of VII
liam T. Evans. Mrs. James Lsowndes.
Miss Eleanor Blodgett. Hon John r.
Henderson, Simon Wolf and others, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Larz Anderson. together
with the various loans and deposits. A
paragraph in the catalogues, which was
presented to every guest, explains that
the collection presented by Charles l.
Freer, of Detroit, is not included in the
display. as 1t still remains in the pos
session of the donor
The consensus of opinion was that the
building is one OF the handsomest struc-
lures in the city. and probably represen-
tative OF the highest attainment in the
construction Of such buildings. 1t is,
indeed, doubtful If in point Of conven-
fence and perfection OF detail it has an
equal in the world. It's construction was
begun over five years ago and will hardly
be completed before the latter part of
the coming summer. although it is hoped
that all of the exhibits will be in posi-
ton by early fall

EXPLAINS HIS AGREEMENT
J' =. West Reports on Progress OF
Playground Campaign.

James Z. West, secretary of the Wash
ington Fairgrounds Association. has
addressed letter TO Representative Her
bert Parsons fully explaining his rela-
ton with the playground work and re-
questing the corporation OF Mr.. Par
sons in having il clearly understood by
members of the House.
The letter quotes from the minutes Of
the meeting OF the board OF directors
showing that Mr.. West declined to obli-
gate the Playground Association 10 nav
him any salary when ne undertook the
work last summer, but volunteered 10
serve with the understanding thai if Al
the end of the season, after everything
possible had been done for the further
anee Of the work. the funds OF the associ-
alton warranted. the question Of then
compensating him for time and services
actually rendered could be taken I'D for
consideration.
He also quotes from the minutes of the
meeting Of December 9 showing that
upon the recommendation OF the execu-
tive committee the treasurer of the as
ISOLATION was directed 10 reimburse him
70 the extent Of Sl.oco. he having devoted
all OF his time to the work OF the asso-
citation and saved it the expense Of Office
rent and other expenses.
II was further voted to allow 500 a
month from November for such period
as 1t might be necessary for the main
tenance of an Office for the conduct OF
the affairs Of the association, including
stenographer. &c. This money was paid
out of funds raised by the Playground
Association and not out of Congressional
appropriation.
The following statement OF cash re-
ceipts was also submitted:

]. FRED KELLEY CHAIRMAN.
Head of Fireworks Committee for {
safe and Sane Celebration.

J. Fred Kelley was unanimously chosen
chairman of the committee on fireworks
at a conference upon various features for
the Fourth Of July. held yesterday by
the joint committee on the safe and sane
celebration in the Office OF Commissioner
Rudolph. y
The committee decided it was too early
10 start soliciting subscriptions. but that
arrangements for fireworks viii be made
now. This feature will be given careful
attention, and even a better display than
last year will be given.
A public meeting will be held. and
music for concerts VIII be one OF the
features. and historical places will be
marked with the holding of proper cere-
monies. A regatta on the Upper Potomac
is being considered, and the use of Poto-
mac Park Basin for races will probably
be another attraction.
