The May Art Festival

The Students Chris ,ian Association of of the University of Michigan is the pioneer association in the country. President Angelí says, "It has been instrumental of great good from the day of its establishment." After many years of working and waiting it has a home, spacious, substantial and beautiful, nearly completed. The Detroit Journal has nobly come to the help of the association and subscriptions for finishing the building are coming in. Ann Arbor ladies propose to raise $2000 of the sum needed by an Art Loan Exhibition. It is to be held in the first story ofNewberry Hall beginning at ten o'clock Saturdaymorning May Kith and continuing two weeks. In the two large west rooms will be arranged by artists a large collection of oil and water-color paintings, etchings, engravings &c. The exhibit will include many fine works from Detroit and other interested towns as well as the choicest pictures in Ann Arbor. Before reaching the art rooms the visitor will find on liis right the Floral Room, full of beauty - the Germán Room presided over by German ladies in costume, aud filled with treasures from the Fatherland and the Colonial Room - a picture of ye olden days and ye old-fashioned damsels. The corresponding rooms on the left are, first, the Refreshment Room where daintiest vianda will be sold, the Oriental Room which will be a genuine exhibition of eastern taste and luxuriance and the Kric-a-brac Room filled with valuable curios. In addition to these varied attractions, a sliort popular entertainment will be given, artistic, musical and literary, every evening without extra charge. Surely, in view of siuh variety and excellence of attractions, the public need not be urged to attend the exhibit merely for the sake of helping a good cause, however plausible may be that motive; but they will find the "Art Loan" in the highest degree pleasant and ble to the social, sesthetic or rciflective nature.
