TWO thousand people visited the Cor

noon. The attendance week days has
been proportionately much smaller, and
that in the evenings scarcely sufficient
to make the effort seem really worth
while. Two more sales were made this
week, and the Corcoran Gallery has,
moreover, arranged to retain Inc paint

Groll, which hangs to the left of the
prize picture by Mr.. Melchers. The pic

WHEN photography was first invented

suggested. Far from trespassing upon
arts territory, however. it has enlarged
arts field and greatly increased knowl-
edge Of production. II it were not for
photography we should have no penny
prints,'' no splendid "half-tones," no
cheap reproductions Of the works Of the
great masters. Some months ago the
Corcoran Gallery granted a large photo

the majority OF other museums of re-
producing the works of art in its perma-
nent collection. and very lately some OF
these reproductions have been on view
in the directors Office. They are large
