FINE ART HALL.
We made brief reference yesterday to the
specimens of penmanship done by Mr.. C. E.
Wilber, but neglected to state that they
were from the Bryant, strattOn 4 FeltOn's
Commercial College. The latest and largest
of these specimens sets forth sOms Of the ad-
vautages which the chain of Commercial
Colleges under the management Of this firm
presents to the young man seeking employ
ment or education. OF course, however, but
a small part of the story can be told in that
way, anl to still further enlighten the visi-
tors, Messes. Bryant, StrattOn & FELTON, have
for distribution in the hall circulars and cop
les of their q" Commercial College Monthly"
spirited paper, devoted to commerce and
commercial education. From this publiea-
tiUn tho reader learns that the I" chain "
comprises no less than fifteen Colleges in
the cities of New Yerk, Brooklyn, PhiladeI
phia, Portland, Providence, Albany, Troy,
Buffalo, Rochester, Toronto, Cleveland, De-
trOit, Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Louis, in
which no less than sixty professors and teach
srs are employed in imparting q "sound
commercial education " to the young men of
the country. In order to facilitate and rem
der moro valuable the system of instruction
Messrs. Bryant, Stratton & FELTON, have is
sued series OF text books, consisting Of
bryant & Stratton's Book Keeping" ''Bry-
ant stratton's Commercial Law" "a very
complete and valuable digest) Bryant L
strattOn's Commercial Arithmetic" and
" Bryant strattOn's Year Book of the Ma
tons, by Elihu Burritt.
These Colleges have received testimonials
from some of the highest authorities in the
land, and thousands of young men can testi-
fy to their practical value.
The visitors yesterday noticed that the pOr-
traits of J. R. Giddings and DR.. Kirkland,
painted by Miss Ransom, and of which We
yesterday made mention, were added to that
lady's fine collection.
S. S. Barrie has in Fine Art Hall some ell
egant samples of lamps from his lamp and
oil depot.
The old who need spectaclss, and the
young who affect quizzing or opera glasses,
will be particularly interested in the case of
Solomonson's glasses at the left of the en-
trance.
There is nothing in all the attractions Of
this hall which more attracts attention of
visitors than the specimens of elaborate
psnmanship. We have noted partOf these.
The Iron City Commercial College of Pitts
burg has on exhibition seven large and re-
markabiy fine pieces, executed by Mr.. Alex
ander COwley of that College. These dis
play wonderful command of the pen and
perception of taste and beauty. The Iron
City College is one of the institutions which
Pittsburg boasts of. It processes to be the
Business Mans Alma Mater, and its many
graduates who have maDfuIly pursued the
town of their business way, can bear testi-
mOny to the justice of the title. Ithas wide
and high reputation, which, under the
Principalship of Messrs. F. W. Jenkins and
]. G. Smith, A. NJ, it fully deserves.
Among other matters worthy of mention in
this department, is an elegant specimen Of
sign painting and gold lettering by H. P.
Hopkins.

msllOw-toned instrument upon the platform.
