REVERSE VIEW OF GOLD MEDAL PRESENTED TO NR.
EDWIN BOOTH

But, reUenonS a nos m6daiIleS, we observe
that Mr.. Young, of the New York Tribune,
does not like the looks of the medal. His
article upon the subject is so severe that we
have doubts of its justice. Besides, Mr.. Young
is friend and admirer of Mr.. Edwin Forrest,
and between the latter gentleman and Mr.
Edwin Forrest Booth we have heard there is not
the most amicable professional feeling. These
facts may explain, in some degree, the follow
ing jeu d'esprit of description
eft seems to as very poor return for the
services which Mr.. Edwin Booth is supposed to
have done the American stage, to force upon his
acceptance such piece of concentrated and
unmeaning ugliness as the medal which was
presented TO him on the I'D OF January by Few
Of his admirers. We have seen hrt many my
like OF this one we have thus far been
graciously preserved from seeing, If, indeed,
its like ever was made. 1t is a curious evidence
of the low state of art among us; and when one
reads the names of the gentlemen who
devised and paid for the horrible thing, and
presented it TO the unfortunate actor. we won :
der If this is all that education, culture and
wealth can do 10 sharpen the perceptions and
refine the taste, When we turn our attention
from the medal ITSELF with its ugly forms, its
disagreeable emblems, and It's general uncouth-
. ness to the inscription, we see that the English
OF the presenters is quite equal to their taste.
With such q design the slang expression, "un-
precedented run" is, however, perfectly In keep
is the only feature of the design that we can
sincerely praise. In the illustration of the

execution. an effect which Is heightenec
about whose neck sheriff in a dress coat il
fastening the fatal cord, and whose counte

We have no doubt that Mr.. Booth, whose mo-
desty is one Of the most graceful accompanl
ments of ais merit, was glad when Inis l % pit o
amateur theatricals was over; and his rellef hat
