known as Boydell's Shakespeare. 1t
vas begun In 1875, and carried for
ward by Alderman Boydell. of Lon
don. from desire to honor the Ureat
Bard of Avon. A handsome pre-
MUM was offered for paintings illus
trating Shakespeare's PLAYS and
such artists as Sir Joshua Reynolds
Benjamin West, Fuseli, Romney.
Northcote, Sir William Beeehy and
Opie, contributed paintings. Alarge
building was expressly erected In
London wherein to exhibit these
works of art. The finest engravers
were employed to reproduce these
paintings on copper plates; Sharpe,
Bartolozzi, Earlom, Thew, Fettler
and others of equal ability were
among the latter artists. The work,
is in the shape of very large and
bulky volume, elegantly print ed,
was completed in 1908, and is proba-
bly,, without exception, the finest
work of the kind ever produced. As
a work of art it is invaluable, and as
a rare treasure it should find place
in our library CIeUe. Sunday Post.

The social rhree Heard From.

To the Editor of the Commercial:
Your correspondent stationed here, in
preparing his items for publication, should
do so without malice; his report of the
Ball given by the Social Three, in your
issue of Tuesday, leads us to think he ls
ANYTHING else but relative of the boy who
felled the cherry tree and afterwards
became a President. l would like to
know what promises the Social Three made
that they did not fulfill were they sparlng
in pains or expense; did they not present
each lady with the programme they agreed
to did they not have first-class orches-
ira did they promise any more think
not. Had they allowed his lordship to pass
in all the dead heads he wanted to, all
might have been well, but they did not
promise that. Iu alluding TO the march he
might be little more explicit. What does
he mean by the "so-called grand march ~
He had better take lessons III addition, for
he needs them badly. In referring to the
management he has to use slang instead of
speaking clearly. The only thing they
showed thin management in was in ALT W
ing him to peddle his button-hole bouquets
without charging him for the privilege of
80 doing. Hoping that you will as an act
Of Justice to US and the public, publish the
above in your valuable paper,
l am yours, &c.,

MR.. THoM sons CONFIRMATION. = Al
though the nomination of Lewis Thompson,
ESQ.,, to be Collector of the Port was sent
20 the Senate week ago yesterday, there
is yet no word of It's being confirmed. The
delay is due to the fact that the Senate has
been much occupied in the impeachment
proceedings and has held but one or two
short executive sessions, the business of
which is somewhat in arrears. No opposi-
zion to Mr.. Thompson's confirmation has
been made, unless it has been done very
secretly, and he will no doubJ be confirmed
as soou as the Senate reaches the nomlna-
5Ion.
