Holland has made some valuable con-
tributions to the exhibition, among which
none are more noticed than the bronze
castings of figures of the size of life, which
are arranged near the Sixth Avenue en-

particularly stag crouchant in spirit

else have prefaced his working hours with
too copious indulgence in lagerbeer, for
his conceptions are so excessively sublime
as to border closely on the ridiculous
