Celebration Slated
At SeneY Point

One of the most interesting
and thrilling entertainment
spectacles ever offered at a
July Fourth celebration in
northern wyoming is scheduled
for Friday, July 4, at Seney
Point, on the shores OF Lake
De Smet eight miles north of
Buffalo, Wyo.
An estimated 10000 people
from northern wyoming, Mon
tana and South Dakota are eX-
pected to be on hand to witness
the finest display of fireworks
ever seen in wyoming, as well
as a spectacular air show and
three-hour motorboat racing
carnival and water show.
The Seney brothers, sponsors
of the show, stated the time of
the show has been moved
ahead to 3 pm, due to the
large number of professional
speed boat races to be held.
Some of the motorboats enter
ed in the so mph. and faster
class include entries from Raw
Inns, Casper, Sheridan, Sinclair
and Pinedale. There will be
races for Mercury Is racers,
Mercury 10 racers, mounted on
light racing hills, and ~ mp.
utility runaboutS.
One race will feature two
| famous lady motor boat en-
thusiasts, Mrs. E. ,Hoff of Cas-
per and Mrs. Lyman Rosendahl
of Pinedale. A highlight of the
boat racing carnival will be
water skiing and aqua-planing
events. Two water skiers = Don
Boggs of Buffalo and Billy Will
ley of Sheridan - will perform
| the sensational stunt of water
skiing while towed behind an
airplane travelling 10 to 80
miles an hour.
A huge fireworks display,
featuring aerial shells, sky roc
kets and special Illuminated
patterns will take place as soon
as it gets dark, around 8:45
pm. The display will be made
over the water against the set
tig of beautiful Lake De Smet.
This colorful display over water
doubles the intensity and brill
lance of the fireworks, experts
agree.

Half Of Needed
Funds Raised
For Russell Art

More than half the $4,000
needed to purchase for the
State of Montana, the famed
Malcolm S. Mackay collection
of Russell art has been received
or promised, K. Ross Toole, state
historian, Helena, announced
recently. He called upon Mon
tanans to send in their con-
tributionS marked Russell Fund
as soon as possible so the re-
naming money will be assured.
The State Historical society,
assisted by the American Leg
ion, the Sons and Daughters of
Montana Pioneers, the Montana
Bankers association, the Mon
tana StockgroWers association
and many other groups, are
conducting a statewide CAM
paign to raise $4,000 to pur-
chase the last available great
collection of art by Montana's
cowboy artist, Charles M. Russ
ell.
1.-THE state of Montana and
it's citizens, has this last chance
to acquire a truly fine collec-
ton of Russell oil-paintings,
water colors, pen and ink
sketches and bronze statues for
a fraction of it's value. So far,
the response has been most
gratifying" Mr. Toole added
that, however, additional mon
ey is needed to assure the pur-
chase.
When acquired, the collection,
comprising Is large oil paint
ings, numerous water colors and
pen and ink sketches and seven
bronze statues, will be placed
on permanent display in the
Russell art gallery in the new
Veterans-Pioneer Memorial
building, Helena, and will re-
main the property Of the state
of Montana.
State Senator William r.
Mackay, Roscoe, commenting
on the offer made by Mrs. NAL
colin S. Mackay, said, "It is my
mothers wish that the collec-
ton become the property of
the state of Montana and be
displayed in the Russell art
gallery in Helena. The family
is entertaining no offers except
from the state, despite rumorS
to the contrary"
The Malcolm S. Mackay COL
lection, now temporarily on
display in the Northern hotel,
Billings, has been valued from
between 100000 and $3.50, 600.
On the New York market, at
this time, an average Russell
is being sold for $25, 900 The
Mackay collection contains IS
large oil-paintings.
In Russell's later years, he
turned to sculpture as his med
ium. According to outstanding
critics, his work compares fav-
orably with that done by old
masters. AS one eastern artist
said, at seems as though Rus
sells early work in oil and
water color, although excep-
tional, was his preliminary
phase. When he turned to
sculpture, Russell attained his
greatest power. The collection
contains seven carefully and
eXpertly chosen pieces of Rus
sell sculpture cast in bronze.
Russell is Montana's hertz
age" Mr.. 'Toole said. During
the past years, almost all of his
fine work has left the state,
eagerly purchased by collectors
in New York, Oklahoma, Cal
ifornia and Texas. Today, one
collection, nowhere near as
good nor as complete as the
