REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 143 
James, of Washington, an oil painting, “ View up the Hudson,” by 
Robert Weir. From Mr. William D. Wheeler, of Washington, a 
portrait in oil of the artist’s daughter, Mrs. John H. Wheeler, and 
her sons, by Thomas Sully. 
The Gallery was fortunate in being able to arrange for two im- 
portant loan exhibitions, which were successfully carried out and 
proved exceedingly attractive. They were held in the large central 
room of the Gallery inclosure in the new Museum building, which 
they fully occupied, and followed one another closely, only two days 
intervening. Each was inaugurated by a special evening view, to 
which invitation was by card, and printed catalogues were issued for 
both. The first, extending from March 21 to April 21, 1914, was 
given in the name of the National Association of Portrait Painters, 
an organization formed for the advancement of art in the United 
States, the holding of exhibitions, and the ultimate establishment of 
permanent galleries for the exposition of its own and allied branches 
of art. The second, which continued from April 23 to June 15, con- 
sisted of the works of a single person, the well-known marine painter, 
Mr. William F. Halsall, of Boston and Provincetown, Mass. 
The exhibition by the National Association of Portrait Painters 
comprised 25 portraits in oil by members of the Association, con- 
stituting the third annual exhibition of the Association in New York, 
and also shown at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Pa. The
