Heginbotham, Esmond Atkinson, H. Mathewman, A. L. Haylock, M. C. Smith, W. H. Pratt, C. H. Barton, R. L. Tingey; Mesdames M. E. R. Tripe, E. L. Prince, E. K. Robison, V. Eichelbaum; Misses D. K. Richmond, Flora Scales, Ina Lee, Iva McEldowney, M. Butler, H. McLean, Jessie Newton, B. E. Chappie, Ellen Perry, and Elizabeth Perry have contributed their best work and others are likely to add to the collection already assembled. It is confidently anticipated by the ladies' committee appointed to arrange for disposal of the pictures by Art Union that a handsome addition to the Kindergarten funds will be secured.”
