SENT TO TaE GOVERNOR.
A Picture Presented to Him by w. 81.
Grissim.


Grissim.
A picture was hung yesterday at the
north end of the lower hall in the State
Capitol, which has an interesting his
tory, besides being worth looking at for
it's own sake.
Its about seven feet by nine. and rep
Tesents duck-shooting scene in the San
Joaquin Valley among the tules. 1t was
painted number of years ago by an in
sane man. who was an inmate of the
Stockton Insane Asylum, and proves
that Whatever might have been the con-
dltlon OF his mind his hand had not lost
It's cunning.
In an open space in the tules kneel a
man and BOY watching the approach of a
flock of ducks. On the boys face is an
expression of eager anticipation, which
Is well delineated. On the mans coun-
tenance, however, the artist has shown
considerable skill. The eager eye is
fixed on the advancing flock, the gun is
held ready for instant aim, while the
tense expression of the features indicates
that he is mentally calculating the mo-
ment whom the ducks will have reached
the position III which his shot will be
most effective. By their side is couched
a white setter, whose eyes are also fixed
lntently on the advancing game, while
his hind legs are drawn up, ready to
spring and retrieve the fowl alter his
master has brought them down.
Although the picture cannot he called q
work OF art, the figures are good. The
painting was formerly owned by u Stock
ton fire company and bought by W. II.
Grissim Of Santa Rosa when the com
pany broke up and its property was sold.
Governor Budd took a fancy to it when
on his campaign last fall, and Mr.. Girls
sim recently presented it to him.
