Added power of attraction lias been
given to the Lewis and Clark Exposition
by the exhibition of fine arts which was
opened yesterday afternoon with a bright
receptl6n. Several hundred guests at
tended, among them many lovers of art.
The reception began at 4 o'clock and
ended at 6. It had to be extended beyond
that hour, for there weie many loth to
depart from a y.ene -so rich In beauty
and meaning.
The Exposition is going to prove too
short a time in which to see all that Is
shown In the Museum of Art. It is to be
regretted that Portland cannot always
have access to such a collection, but of
course that is too much to hope for. No
city of the Wept, and very few of the
East may dare hope for so much. Port
land alone bears the distinction of being
able to claim It all for even a brief period
of four or five months.
Seven Galleries of Canvases.
"he walls of seven big galleries are lost
In a wealth of canvases, with many fine
bronzes through the middle of the apart
ments by way of variation. To walk
through these seven galleries is to meet
with the masters so often encountered be
tween -the page? of magazines and books,
but so rarely elsewhere. And it is not
until the original is met with that the
total Injustice of the print can be ap
preciated. Those of yesterday's guests
who had met their painters through the
mediums of prints found themselves com
pelled to remodel their ideas. For while
the print holds the form, It loses much
that Is valuable In the way of details
and leaves behind all the coloring.
"Whether In portrait or landscape, half the
powir and expreIon nd charm lies In
the. coloring.' Therefore those who had
known a number of world masterpieces
by their form found themselves lost In a
new admiration when confronted by the
original.
The Receiving; Party.
The opening of the museum was attend
ed by no exercises. Director Frank V.
DuMpnd explained this very aptly when
he said that the pictures were the enter
tainers and that they spoke more elo
quently for themselves than anyone
could speak for them. Thus, when the
guests arrived, they were escorted at
once into the galleries. The receiving
party was made up of Mr. a"hd Mrs. Frank
V. DuMond. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Ladd.
Mr. and Mm T. B. Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs.
O E. S. Wood. Mr. and Mrs. H. W Goode
and Mr. and Mrs. II. C. Wilson.
The pictures are set In a cou&enlal and
harmonious? atmosphere. The low, vault
like museum, with its dark, oiled floors
And its artificial lights, seems peculiarly
suited for such an exhibition. This effect,
it might be explained if by design and
not by accident, and every detail of the
building and of the arrangement of the
pictures shows careful thought and . a
proper intuition of the precise methods "to
apply.
Arrangement of Lights.
In the arrangement of lights great
skill has been shown. With Improperly
placed lights the great paintings would
look like collections of meaningless
daubs of paint. As It is. every painting
is shown off to the very best advantage,
with the possible exception of the land
scape In gallery P. where Home little
manemerlng wa? found -ileeesnary to see
It In Its ent'rety. but this will be promptly
remedied, and Is really not worth" speak
ing about.
Mr. DuMond and his assistants found
it necessary to work up to tho very min
ute of the recaption to coraptote the big
task they have performed so well. .In
fact, the hanging of Millet's "Man With
the Hoe" was complotod jupt as the van
guard of guests reached the west
entrance.
In the Gnllcrics.
Entering: the museum, such a maze
of pictures Is presented that at first one
Is at a loss to know which way to start
out. But the hanging: of pictures has
been catalogued and numbered, so that
there need be no confusion. Gallery A,
the most advantageous starting point
for "doings' the museum, lies at the ex
treme wost or.d of the building. It
Is given up for the greater part to the
works of the impressionists. There are
some remarkable canvases here,
where the artists have expressed them
selves in broad effects and with no care
for details. This gallery has 114 can
vases. Gallery B contains the work of
several masters of the 'old Dutch and
English schools. Among the paintings
that are most generally known in this
gallery might be mentioned "The
Countess of Huntington and Sister," by
George Romney; "The Portrait of a
Child," by James McNeill Whistler:
"Gathering Fagots," by Diaz; "Holy
Family." by Peter Paul Rubons: "Bay
of Naples," by Turner, and last but by
no means least, "The Man With the
Hoe." by Millet. It was this cillery
that seemed to get the greater amount
of attention yesterday. There was no
minute during- the afternoon that a
group was not before every one of the
old masterpieces of Gallery B. Not
that the other galleries were not fully
patronized, but Gallery B happens to
stand second and people getting this
far seemed loath to go farther.
Portraits and Landscapes.
Gallery C proved notable for its por
traits, as well as for Its variety of fine
landscapes and group paintings. Here
is found Romney's "Lady Hamilton."
There Is also a portrait by the noted
American painter. William Chase, and
four paintings by George De Forest
Brush, another distinguished American
artist. Mr. DuMond has three of his
canvases hung- here. "The South Wind,"
"Refuges," and "Halcyon Days," all of
them works of art, which bespeak a
brush of unusual power. The entrance
way lying next to Gallery C Is hung
! with eight fine paintings. Gallery D
Is gien up to landscapes and with
Galleries E. F and G, represents the
works of artists of comparatively re
cent years. There are many fine works
in these galleries, which volumes of de
scriptive matter would be needed to do
them Justice. Galleries F and G are de
voted to miniatures and photographs,
and add much to the completeness and
charm of the gallery. There are 28
bronzes arranged through tho different
galleries and all of them share in the
high standard which marks the museum
throughout.
Today and on each succeeding: day of
the Exposition the museum will be open
to the general public.

EXPOSITION ATTENDANCE. 14,231.
The Exposition crowd numbered
14.2S1 yesterday. The attendance
shows a steady increase from day to
day, and the present week promises
to produce soma record-breaking fig
ures. Washington week 'at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition began yesterday, and
the busy stir and preparation In the
Evergreen State building was very much
In evidence all day. Belllngham and other
Puget Sound cities had their innings, and
today visitors from Spokane will see the
Fair.
High and clear above, all the many
sounds at the Exposition yesterday morn
ing rose the songs and yells of more than
200 young men and women students from
Belllngham Normal and High Schools.
Decorated with their colors, they marched
Into the Washington building, and after
gathering in one corner, went through
their exercises In a manner that made
the sedate sightseers wish they were
school children again.
Entertained at Reception.
After the songs, the visitors were hand
ed over to the good graces of Mrs. H. C.
Mead, of Centralla, and Mrs. William
Urquhart, of Chehalls, Lewis County,
hostesses for the week. An informal re
ception was then held, and In the after
noon, a short musicale. Delegations from
