The Hattie Of sttpnhn-r

Never before have the public had
such an excellent entertainment as thai
now In the Cyclorama at Broad and
Cherry streets, Philadelphia. Neve,
before have they had an opportunity tc
witness such q realistic and life like
specimen Of art work. And the subject,
too, Is one that should commend itsell
TO all. The battle of Gettysburg-the
greatest ever fought Cd the soil OF
Pennsylvania, Is pictured upon can
yass with such perfection OF detail and
hneness Of effect that it has won the
praise of all. General Hancock and
others who helped to win the fight,
have unqualifiedly affirmed the pre-
tensions of the artist as to his careful
reproduction of the topography of the
country, and the positions OF the
troops. The picture Is grand in the ex
treme, wildly portray ing the scenes
and incidents of the great battle, and
hours may be spent in study ing it. The
picture is simply grand-a master
piece-bringlng to the mind as could be
done In no other way, except by eye
witnessir g, the grandeur and the effect
upon us or mighty armies in conflict.
AS a study of life, and as a lesson
which will always be relhemb ered with
pleasant associations, the Battle OF
Gettysburg will always stand pre-emi-
nent In the minds of the tens OF thou
sands who have looked upon it. The
Oyclorama Is open day ana evening.
