THE SHAKESPEARE WINDOW At STRAT-
FORD-ONAVON.

We informed our readers. some weeks ago. of
project on foot to fill one of the windows In the
cbancel of the Church of the Holy Trinity at STRAIT
ford-on-Avpn with stained glass, commemorative OF
Shakespeare-the window chosen being the one
nearest that the lower half of which is filled up with
the poets monumental tablet and bust 1t was GER
tainly natural to hope that subscriptions for this
purpose might easily be collected in New-York,
Philadelphia, and Boston, but though the newspa-
pers in all three cities recommended the undertaking
to the public little progress has been made In secur-
ing names Lately, however, the suggestion was
made that the subscriptions should be limited to
one dollar for each person. and since it was decided
70 make this the rule, matters have mended. Ar.
William schaus of TAO Broadway (opposite Aston
ulaoe) who receives subscriptions in this city, and
has taken much interest in forwarding the under
taking, reports gratifying increase IN the numoer
of persons wishing to associate themselves with TINS
cheerful enterprise. Among others, the members OF
the Lotos Club have honOred themselves by lib
eral contribution Still, the sum necessary, though
by no means large one, is not yet made up, as III
might quickly be if every lover of Shakespeare In
this city would put his mite into the box The WORK
Of designing and manufacturing the glass is III good
hands: and the window, when finished. Is sure 10
add 70 the beauties of the noble chance in which IL
ia 10 be placed so that with the change in the terms
of the subscription we hope soon to be able 10 an
nonnce that the books closed and that the WORK
i. fairly in hand.

protest against any further performances OF the KIND
from that State and says the limit was reached the
other day when q memorial was sent, asking further
time for preemptors on the line OF the Northern Pacific
