NOt less nOt1ceaDe IS the great variety Vi luc
display. From the exquisite marble and bronze
down TO the limitations in wax OF dlter-
ent varieties of fruit, there lies, necessarily,
very wide range, in which the means and tastes
of almost every admireT OF art can find source
of qualification. That the public thoroughly |
appreciate the abors OF the Brothers VIII, to |
whom they are indebted for this chance to cul- |
tivate passion for choice and elaborate work |
manship, is evinced by the throng of people |
which has already filed the gallery OF mr. |
Scott. Tomorrow morning. at IL O'Clock, the |
sale will commence, and during the two days |
of its continuance we may look for zoe lveltest
and most generous competition In an effort to
secure some OF these gems OF art.
