I-AhlBlIlON pt \ ALL ABLE lAlN11NHs-ll
is announced that Post 10, G. A. R., of this
city, are soon to exhibit here Col Bachcldcr's
great national painting Of the Battle of Gettys-
burg. 1t has been stated that this work of art
was burned at Chicago. This would have in
deed been an rreparable loss, for unquestionably
there is more incident, more real solid histori-
cal information embodied in this wonderful pro
duction than in any other painting in America.
Massachusetts is particularly interested in its
preservation, as twenty-onc of her regiments
and batteries are represented on it; prominent
among which is the old 18th. 1t is fortunately
safe. The impression that it was burned
probably arose from the fact that Rother-
mePs famous painting of that battle, exc
cuted for the state of Pennsylvania, was at Chi
cago at the time of the fire. This was saved,
however, in a somewhat damaged condition.
Rierstadt's Yosemite Valley, which was reported
burned, was also among the valuable paintings
saved from the Crosby opera house art gallery
This, with forty-eight others, was taken from
the building just before its destruction, and all
have been sent to Boston, where they will be ex.
hibited for a short time at Horticultural hall, for
the benefit Of Chicago sufferers. Perhaps the
elders historical painting of "The Last Hours
of Lincoln" This presents the portraits of
iory-seven persons of distinction, who called
upon the late president after he was assassin.
ated All are from life sittings. Its great value
consists in the remarkable success of its portra-
turc, which will increase as years roll on. 1t
was thought impossible to save this painting, as
it was hung in q massive carved walnut frame,
firmly secured to shadow box which, in the
excitement Of the occasion, could not be taken
down. At the last moment, however, it was
cut from the frame, and with great difficulty,
borne from the burning room.
Musical COnventIOn-FOurIh Day.
Notwithstanding the unlavorable weather, the

IDENTIFY on the increase, the attendance yesterday
being largely augmented by new members from
all parts of the county and state. Messrs. Ter
rain and Southland were very busy during the
morning and afternoon sessions in imparting in
structions and drilling the great chorus IN pre-
paration for the closing concerts. The eminent
success of the chorus singing at the first concert,
seemed to inspire both conductors and singers to
renewed efforts in a proper combination and
rendering of the works in preparation.
