art opened for exhibition at Odd Fellows Hall last
evening, and drew full house.
Those who have been in New York, and passed
over the ground represented cannot fail to admire
the aithiulness Of the scenes as pictured on the
canvas, and those who have not visited the great
metropolis, can rest assured that the Panorama is
| true to the letter.
| The lettering on the signs on Broadway is as
plain and distinct and easily read as any on Penn
| syvania avenue. This We consider one of the
most wonderful features of this great work. As
we passed along, many old familiar scenes were re-
cognised, and, in imagination we heard the rumb-
ling Of the vast throng Of carriages, the hum Of the
thousand voices and the noise and hustle Of the
busy crowd.
The docks, the shipping, the steamboat landings
and the railroad stations, are swarmng with busy
life, and everything on the picture has a natural
and ifcike appearance
AS work of art, 1t is every way superior to any
Panorama that we have ever seen before. No one
should suffer the painting to leave the city before
seeing it, for il is the cheapest trip to New York
they will have an opportunity of taking. The fare
Is only twenty-five cents, no trouble with baggage,
no danger from railroad or steamboat accidents,
and the time through is two hours.
II exhibits here every evening until Dec. 9th.
