Governor Cornell is forming gallery of portraits
of former Governors of New York, which he intends
placing on the walls Of the Governors private rooms
in the new Capitol. Already five crayon portraits
of Reuben f. Fenton and Hamilton Fish hang on
the walls; and excellent photographs of John Jay
and John A. King, taken from paintings in oil are
ready to be placed in position. Edw in d. Morgan
has had his portrait painted at cost of 81 800 for
the gallery. His picture has recently been on ex-
hibtiOn in this city. Samuel J. Tilden and John
T. Hoffman have promised their portraits; and a
favorable response is hoped for from Horatio
Seymour. Photographs cf the portraits Of the
earlier Governors will be taken. Ii is hoped that
before the end of the year portraits of ali of the
Governors will be secured A fine oil painting Of
George Clinton, the first Governor painted in 1913,
which belonged TO the Senate has been surrendered
bv that body to the Governor. He intends hanging
IL in the Executive Chamber opposite the large oil
portraits of Washington and Lafayette which he
had placed in the room during the winter. The por
traits Of Washington and Clinton are by the same
artist.
