Mir Bassett was aske about this matter this afternoon and said he would not take it upon him self to open the apartment during tn evening He said that ptrbaps the boar might dt eide to name one or two evening iu the wC Ok when 1t would be open for tn accommodation of those who could no call through the day MT Bassett doe not think that the articles can be seen t as good advantage with the ald of tn electric lights as in the day tim and he would advise all wh
 can possibly do so to see the display i
 daylight. The last contribution to the col lection was sent in by William B+rkle
 of ll2 Cooke street It is an old flint loc
 pistol witch the librarian thinks was use
 by Noah to shoot doves from the ark an
 was handed down from sire to son until i
 became into the hands of its present owner
 No one except those who have looked ove
 the collection can form any idea of tn
 number and variety of articles on ext
 bition. It is something which everyon
 should see and it Is to be hoped that tn
 board of agents will devise some way
 giving those who work during the day tim
 an opportunity to go through the place i
 the evening.
