IMPORTANT NOTICE.

J. Q. ADAMS, Acting Secretary. 



At a special meeting held on March 11, the Board of Trustees completed ar- 

 rangements for a suitable celebration of the removal of the Museum from the 

 room it has occupied for nearly three years in Borough Hall to the house leased 

 for the use of the Association by the City of New York, at 154 Stuyvesant 

 Place. The repairs and alterations to the house have been completed, and the 

 library and collections were moved last week. It is expected that everything 

 will be in readiness for a general housevvarming on the 25th, and that the Muse- 

 um will be reopened to the public on the 27th. 



On Saturday, the 25th, there will be a reception from three to six o'clock, to 

 which all members of the Association, their friends and officials of other muse- 

 ums in the vicinity will be invited. Refreshments will be served by the ladies 

 of the Women's Auxiliary and the Art Loan Committees, and at 4.30 brief ex- 

 ercises will be held in the assembly hall, including addresses by Senator Howard 

 R. Bayne, president of the Association, Hon. George Cromwell, president of 

 the Borough of Richmond, and other speakers. At 6.30 a dinner of the Associ- 

 ation will be held at Hugot's, to which prominent officials of the city govern- 

 ment and of other public institutions will be invited. Detailed announcements 

 will be mailed to all members of the Association, and it is the desire of the 

 trustees that the dinner should be largely attended. The price will be three 

 dollars, and every member is at liberty to invite guests upon his own responsi- 

 bility. 



One feature of the initial exhibits in the new museum will be a remarkable 

 collection of native African implements, weapons, etc., kindly loaned by Mr. 

 and Mrs. George S. Humphrey. This will be on view at the reopening, and 

 will remain ior two months. 



The Museum staff has now been completed by the appointment of Mr. D. M. 

 Van Name as museum guard; Mr. Alexander Forsyth as janitor and Mr. 

 Lawrence Leidy as night watchman.
