The statement of the Finance Committee shows how the different Museum funds in their hands are invested and what income they yield. The Museum has reached the end of the year without debt; this satisfactory result is due to the strict economy which the Trustees exercised over all the departments of the Museum, their policy having always been to incur no debt, and to keep within the limits of the income at their disposal. VISITORS For two years past, since the construction of the east wing began, the Eight} Second street entrance to the .Museum has been closed to the public, causing much inconvenience to uptown visitors, who have to walk several blocks farther down in order to reach the southern entrance; thus many persons have given up the attempt to reach the .Museum. Notwith- standing this, the number of visitors this year exceeds that ol last year 1>\ jX.ltiu. The total number of visitors recorded last year by the turnstiles was 51 [,398 and tins year is 540,060, ANNUAL ! RSHIP This i> one of the Museum items of income' which the Trustees have relied upon since \Xj>). and desire to inci, from year to \ ear. It is very gratifying tei then) to report that although ten per cent, is about tin- average yearly loss of members which the Museum sustains by death, resignation, removal from the city, ami other causes, nevertheless new members have always Come in tO till the vacant places; and in 1899 the number of new members far exceeds that of the l,r" l.ast year the total number of paying mem bers was 1.SH5 uhih' thi. year it is 1,073. i6 SANITARY CONDITION The health of the employees and the sanitary condition of the Museum are most satisfactory. Heating, lighting and ventilation are all in perfect order. The very few cases of illness among employees this year compared with those of former years show the value of the separate sewerage system for the Museum which was introduced last year. The Presi dent of the Park Department and the Comptroller of the city deserve our thanks for their valuable co-operation in this hygienic improvement. NEW WING Work on the new addition to the Museum building has been pushed forward rapidly during the summer, and tin- Trustees bad ever} lease>n in hope it would 1 H' enclosed, and ready for interior work before winter. Bui a prolonged strike originating among the workmen, and not involving their em ployers, suspended the continuation of the building before the close of the autumn, and it is now probable thai the arrival of cold weather will forbid the completion of the roof at pres ent. This is greatly to be regretted, as during the winter the interior work cannot be carried on and much valuable tinn- will be lost. EDUCATIONAL WORK The Museum's educational influence is to some extent seen in the large number ol schools, private and public, from the city and from towns and villages which visit the Museum. Occasionally acboola (having as many as 300 pupils) spend the entire day at the Museum receiving instruc tion. Art students ami copyists are alsn increasing steadily The number of permits issued te> copyists in the Department of Paintinga during the ytu has been 571, hi the •'.irtment of Sculpture 496, and n the Cast Department 50. Th. tablishing a molding atelier when the new east wing is ready for occup everj 17 more evident from the number of applications which the Trus tees receive from museums, colleges, libraries and schools throughout the country for casts of sculptures on exhibition in the Museum. This urgent desire to obtain casts should be met as soon as possible. At the same time the molding atelier should become a legitimate source of income to the Museum, GIFTS During the past year the number ol gifts to the collections of the Museum far exceeds that of last year. A full list of them will be found in another pari of this report. Among the more important gifts are the following: The sum of twenty thousand dollars, the income of which to be used exclusively for the purchase of objects of art. From Mr. Roberl Minturn Grinnell a tine silver vase pre tented by the British Government to Mr. Henry Grinnell for his munificence in sending an Arctic expedition in search of Sirje.hu Franklin, the officers and crewi of the English ships "Erebus" and " renin." between the years 1850 and 1855.

He gave his personal attention to the responsible duties of his positions with clear intelligent appreciation of the importance ot those duties, ami with tin- wannest interest in whatever I Cerned the good of tin- institution. His gifts, great as was their value to our collections of win Us of ait, were exceeded in value by his judicious, ce instant and unwearying services in building up the Museum from youth t" its present power among American institutions.
