New York City. He has received first

Cooper Institute for the advancement of
science and art, as follows:
This is to certify that Hatred Olson
has attended the course of instruction
given during the term of 1884 in rudi-
mental drawing in the free night school
of science and art of this institution. and

We are very much pleased to hear such q

mire more than to see young man have
noble aim in life, and then pursue it
with untlagging zeal.
