citation announced this morning that

nectlon with the event. Mrs. John
ston has visited most of the leading
art galleries in Europe during the past
summer, and expresses herself as be-
ing quite enthusiastic over the work
of the American artists compared
with that of foreigners. Speaking OF
Richmond's standing among Other
American exhibits, the president as
serted that only three cities in this
country could have their pictures dis.
played to better advantage. Mrs.
Johnston said that Richmond would
have the best exhibit in America soon,
but to accomplish this the citizens
would have to give their support and
cooperation to the work.
The finance committee of the or
ganization last evening sent letters
to local people announcing the fiji
teenth annual exhibition, and speaking
of the enlarged opportunities which
the new galleries afforded for sulture
and happiness in Richmond. The cir
cular letter also asked for an increase
in membership.
At the meeting of the directors OF
the art association last Friday even
ing, it was stated that Is paintings by
New York and Indiana artists had
been secured for the show, and that
all would be in place by the time of
the opening, at eight o'clock next
Tuesday night. Among the business
done by the directors was the accept
ance of the resignation of H. r. Rob
inson as treasurer. Prof. Frank La

were not notified Immediately and the
local c. & o. physicians did not re-

unsuccessful. Trainmen, it is said
