WALKER ART GALLERY. 



The gallery has been open to the public on 267 days during the year, 

 and closed on 46 days for cleaning and rearrangement of the Permanent 

 Collection. 475,839 persons visited the Gallery during the year, being 

 a daily average of 1,782. Of this number 71,519 paid for admission to 

 the Autumn Exhibition of Pictures, and nearly 10,000 school children, 

 whom the Committee specially invited to the Exhibition, are also 

 included in the gross total of visitors. 



The recent extension of the Gallery having obviated the necessity of 

 the disturbance of the Collection for the Autumn Exhibition, the 

 Curator has been able to make a more definite and systematic arrange- 

 ment of the works of Art, and the importance of the Collection, both 

 numerically and artistically, has thus been brought into fuller 

 prominence. 



The building has been used on several occasions during the year for 

 Soirees, Lectures, and Exhibitions. 



On Saturday, October 3rd, His Worship the Mayor held a reception 

 for the Working Classes, when 10,000 Artizans and their wives and 

 daughters were present to inspect the Autumn Exhibition and the 

 Library and Museum. On this occasion His Worship presented to the 

 Gallery, on behalf of the Corporation, a bust, executed by T. Stirling 

 Lee, of Mr. Alderman E. Samuelson, the first Chairman of the Art 

 Department, in recognition of his services during fifteen years.
