FINANCES OF THE MUSEUM From the preceding Report of the Treasurer it will be seen that the City contributes only about two-thirds of the amount indispensable for the maintenance of the Museum and the Trustees are obliged to use every year the entire available income of the Corporation in order to meet the current ex penses ; yet, with pardonable pride, they can state that for the last twenty years the Museum has not incurred any debt for its administration. VISITORS The number of visitors from January 1 to December 31, 1898, has been 511,398, being 44,371 less than that of the pre vious year, owing chiefly to two causes; namely, the inclem ency of the weather on Saturdays and Sundays (the two days of the week on which the attendance is always the largest) and the closing of the Eighty-second Street entrance while the construction of the east wing is going on, which compels the public to walk several blocks farther through the Park in order to reach the southern entrance of the Museum. From March, 1880. to December, 1898, the number of persons who visited the Museum has been 8,935,994. ANNUAL MEMBERS Although the average loss of annual members every year through death, resignation, and removal from the city amounts to about 100, the number of new members enrolled during the summer has not ool} covered our yearly losses, but adeled a considerable number to the list. i6 NEW SEWER For several years past the inadequate sewerage arrange ments in the Museum buildings kept the Trustees very anxious about the health of those employees whose duty keeps them the whole day inside the building; for the last four years the attention of the President of the Department of Public Parks was called to the necessity of having a separate and indepen dent sewer for the Museum buildings, thereby removing a great evil, but without any result. It was only since the acces sion of the present President of the Park Department, Mr. George C. Clausen, that with the approval and valuable as sistance of the new City Comptroller, Mr. Bird S. Coler, the Museum has now an entire new sewerage system independent from that in Fifth Avenue; the Trustees feel therefore grateful to the above-named gentlemen for their interest and co operation in the matter. NEW WING The work on the new east addition to the Museum build ing which last spring had been stopped for some time, was resumed in June and has continued without interruption ever since. The new building has already reached more than half its completed height, and if nothing occurs to prevent, will be finished by the end of the present year. EDUCATIONAL WORK Public and private schools in the city, as well as in towns within a radius of fifty miles, continue to visit the Museum in large numbers and take advantage of the many opportunities offered here for study and instruction. Tlie regular winter course of art lectures given every Saturday during the- months of Dee-ember, January, February and March, in connection with Columbia University, con tinues to be largely attended and popular. The number of permits issued to copyists in the Depart ment of Paintings was 471 ; in the other Departments, 229. n The persons, as well as classes in drawing, art students and designers for decoration and manufacture, who received oral permits and of whom record is not kept, has this year ex ceeded in number that of the last three years. The financial advantages which the Museum may derive when a Moulding Department is permanently established be comes every year more manifest from the numerous applica tions continually received from Museums, Colleges, Schools and Libraries throughout the United States, asking to be fur nished with casts of sculptures possessed by our institution; but at present the Museum has no facilities for carrying on the work on a large scale, and only a few orders have been filled during the past year. When the new wing is finished it will be possible to establish it, and the Trustees have already decided to do so. A mould was taken of the bronze statue called the Bac chante, by request of and for the French Government; this necessitated the removal of said statue from exhibition for two months during the summer. • GIFTS AND BEQUESTS During the past year the Museum has received a number of new gifts and the notice of two important bequests which have not yet been delivered. A detailed list of the gifts will be found in another part of this report. THE JACOB H. LAZARUS TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIP Mr. George W. Breck, the holder of the Jacob 11. Lazarus Scholarship, has completed his second year of study abroad, and during that period he has satisfactorily fulfilled the condi tions imposed by the Committee in charge. He has executed the prescribed Studies and copies in Rome; has traveled in Italy under the guidance of the Committee, making notes and sketches. The third vear of Mr. I'reck's curriculum will be 10 work more or less in the same line as in the two preceding years, but in addition to his studies, he must execute a painting i8 of a decorative character containing not less than three life- sized figures, the subject to be either historical, mythological, or allegorical. The last two months of his scholarship are to be passed in Paris and its environs. At the request of the Trustees of the Museum, the nine gentlemen who acted as a Committee to take charge of the competition for the Scholarship in 1897—namely, Frederic Crowninshield, Chairman, J. Carroll Beckwith, Edwin H. Blashfield, W. H. Low, George W. Maynard, Charles F. Mc Kim, H. Siddons Mowbray, Walter Shirlaw and Edgar M. Ward—have again heen invited to act as a Special Committee in arranging a competition upon the same terms for the year 1900. The Trustees, in conclusion, desire to call the attention of the members and friends of the Museum to its need of a permanent Endowment Fund yielding an income of at least $50,000, for purchasing the best examples of ancient and mod ern art which from time to time are for sale in Europe and in this country. LIBRARY. The number of books in the Library on the 31st day of December, 1898, was as follows: Bound volumes 5454 Portfolios 154 Unbound volumes, reports, cata logues and pamphlets 463 The additions to the Library during the past year have been as follows: By purchase 204 volumes By presentation 173 volumes including gifts from Mr. Samuel P. Aveiv, General L. P. di Cesnola, Mr. James C. Culwick (through Mrs. John Crosby Brown), Mr. Roberl W. de Forest, Mr. George W. Kellogg, the Due de Loubat, Mr. 1 l.iny * I. Marquand, Mr. Clarence B. '9 Moore, Mrs. C. F. Palmer (through Messrs. Revell & Co.), Mr. Samuel L. Parrish, Mr. Peter A. Schema) and Mr. Oliver D. Schock. A continued increase is exhibited in the number of art students and other visitors who have used the Library during the past year. Cards of admission to the Library may be ob tained by applying to the Director of the Museum, or to tin- Assistant Librarian, as heretofore. By order, HENRY G, MARQUAND, President, L. P.
