ART MUSEUM

per capita it is practically the same as at that Mecca of all travellers, the 

 Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City. 



The additions made by Mr. Smith this year have been less in number 

 than in any previous year. They include two interesting Korean 

 chests, porcelains, embroideries, textiles and carvings in semi-precious 

 stones. 



Mr. Smith is gradually rounding out his collection of the so-called 

 Hudson River School of American Art, and to this end a landscape by 

 J. B. Bristol has been added to the gallery of paintings. 



Mr. Smith's purchases for the past year have been seriously restricted 

 for lack of room to exhibit, a very advantageous offer of a series of 

 paintings by the late EHhu Vedder having to be declined on that account. 



Respectfully submitted 



ELEANOR A. WADE, Curator.
