ART GALLERY. 81 
A series of Friday evening entertainments was agreed upon. 
On 10th October, Mr. Haldane Macfall gave a lecture, entitled 
““The Splendid Wayfaring.’’ Subsequently the entertainments 
were held on Wednesday evenings, and eight musical recitals were 
given during the period of the Exhibition. 
By instruction of the Special Autumn Exhibition Committee, 
the usual evening opening from the end of October was suspended, 
and the Exhibition was open on Wednesdays from the beginning 
from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. continuously, admission 6d.: the 
hours on other days being 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., admission Is. 
From Ist December the hours of opening were 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. 
continuously, admission after 5 o’clock 6d., except during the last 
week, when 3d. was charged in the evening. 
On November 10th the Exhibition was placed at the disposal 
of Lady Derby for her reception of workers in connection with 
the Children’s Happy Evenings Association. 
Competitive tenders for catering were submitted by various 
firms, and that of Messrs. Mann and Crosthwaite was accepted. 
The new arrangements in the Café have proved satisfactory. 
The Art Union, instituted in 1911, was attended in 1913 with 
an increased measure of success. The total sales of tickets 
amounted to £1,407. The number of prizes was 82 for 
£950, as against 70 for £800 in 1912, and the winning ticket 
holders selected from the Autumn Exhibition 161 works, the 
catalogue value of which amounted to £1,067 10s. The Art Union 
has thus in three years caused the sale of 346 works, for which 
the artists received £2,210. 
The concession by the Art and Exhibitions Sub-Committee of 
a single free evening admission to the Exhibition during the 
month of December to each purchaser of an Art Union ticket 
was renewed.
