NATIONAL ART GALLERY
AND THE BAILLIE COLLECTION. By Telegrapk— Pras At«*«iati«s. Wellington, Yesterday. A vigorous campaign is being instituted here to obtain the £SOOO necessary to secure the City Council's donation of £IOOO to the National Art Gallery. The formal opening of Mr. Baillie's great collection of pictures, which has brought about the movement, will eventuate about the 24th. Up till then the National Gallery has the first call on the pictures. Afterwards they will be open to selection by anyone. Mr. Baillie was asked to exhibit the collection in Australia, but, being unable to do so, purchasers are corning over here on behalf of galleries in New South Wales and Victoria, as well as representatives from various parts of New Zealand.
