order: be had selected the subject and he
attached to the work, which is one of the
great masterpieces Of the age, a value

aveTSe to exposing 1t to new risks OF trans
portation. but he wanted to help the
Museum Association and to crafty the
desire of the people of Sacramento and sur
rounding country to see ii. 1t had given
pleasure to hundreds of thousands, and
that to him was 4 source Of profound graft

! Negotiations are pending for samples from
the collection of the Academy of Sciences,
with every prospect of success. The COM
mittce. though put to great expense and
| compelled TO employ extra watchmen, IS
! greatly elated at It's success. The ROSenthal
picture was viewed for an admission by
over one hundred thousand people in New
York. fifty thousand in Baltimore, and by
over thirty thousand recently in San Fran
