eluding the selection of the Judges ) , Mr.
Smith. Mrs. Park ; tickets and advertising ,
Mr. Alford , Mrs. Butterflold , with Frederick
Knight and Mrs. John S. Hrigps as assis
tants ; committee on hanging , Mr. Collins ,
Dr. Jonas , Miss Shultz , Mrs. Davis and Mrs.
Park. Superintendent , Mr. Garczynski.
The hanging committee will exercise discre
tion In the reception of pictures , and may be
compelled to reject the poor offerings.
A young gentleman who will bo in attend
ance on the gallery will place himself be
tween intending purchasers and exhibiting
artists and assist exchanges. Another inno
vation the association has made is the draw
ing of pictures. Half the proceeds from the
sale of season tickets is to bo sot aside for
the purchase direct from the artists of a
number of the most worthy paintings. At
the close of the exhibition the numbers cor
responding to all the season tickets sold are
to bo placed in a box and drawn , ono at a
time , at the same tlmo drawing from another
box the numbers of the chosen pictures ,
until nil have been secured by the holders of
the lucky season tickets. This plan has
been successfully operated In New York
forty years and has been found of material
assistance to rising young artists whoso
pictures have thus found purchasers. The
season tlcuet entitles the holder to six ad
missions , cither at ono or different times ,
for (1. Snglo | admissions 25 cents.
With regard to the students' tickets , it has
been decided simply to leave thorn with the
principals of the various educational estab
lishments , from whom these who wish to
visit tbo exhibition can procure them. The
bolder will present the ticket , with llftcon
cents , at the door. This system will remove
from the principals all annoyances of taking
money and paying It over ; and will have the
same result. One hundred tickets have been
left at Brownoll hall , the same numberat the
Convent of Mercy , on South Fourteentn
street , and the same at Crclghtou college ,
and the Sacred Heart. Half the number
have been loft at St. Catherine's academy ,
and at the Parochial school of St. Potcrs. A
member of the executive committee also loft
two hundred of the same class of tickets at
the Deaf and Dumb asylum and notlllod
Superintendent James of the readiness of the
association to furnish them in any number to
the public sclmols.
Season tickets , giving a chance in the pic
ture lottery , will bo on sale at tbo Excelsior
oftlce to-morrow , and very many will bo
placed in the hands of members of the asso
ciation after the lecture on Monday evening.
Jt Is hoped , therefore , that there will bo a
full attendance. These tickets \ylll bo sold
up to the last possible moment before the
drawing , which will take place on the evenIng -
Ing of the 30th last. They are transferable ,
but these who lend them are warned that
the numbers drawing prizes are like checks
made payable to the bearer , and tbo bolder
of.tho ticket not the purchaser can claim and
take away the prize. As the premises wbero
the exhibition will bo bold huvo only been
leased fora limited period , and will bo neces
sarily vacated at its close , the association
will act for the holder of any prize drawing
ticket who shall bo absent , and will select
and store for him a painting corresponding
to the prize drawn.
Space applications arc as numerous as they
were last year , and pictures should bo de
livered on the second lloor of the J. J.
Brown bulldinsr " not later than Saturday ,
