NATIONAL ART GALLERY.
The Wairarapa is, or should be, close-? ly interested in the movement to establish a National Art G'allery in Wellington. Such a Gallery would'be a source of inexpressible pleasure and enjoyment, to country visitors to the city. How can the Wairarapa assist •in the acquisition of &pmo cf the Baillie pictures ? Our-' wealthy settlers could do a great deal, if they were so disposed. And cmr middle classes might do something. We would suggest that an excursion be arranged to Wellington, to enable country people to inspect the Baillie collection; that the charge for the train journey he, •'gay, 255; and that the Railway ]}<?- 'iparfcment. hand over £1 from- each fare to the Art Gallery fund. By this mean® a substantial sum might': 'fee gathered for the fund; and the.excursion would not he run at .a ..loss to the department. Tickets for the excursion might be gold by the Managers of the Masterton Technical School.
