GIFT TO sHAKEsPEARE's TOWN
Replica Of Tom Nast's AImmortaH
Light Of Genius'' Given by widow
OF Celebrated CartoonIst.

The librarian Of the Shakespeare
memorial at Stratford-on-Avon Eng
land. in his report of the more notable
gifts of the year, refers to a picture
presented to the memorial by Mrs.
Thomas Mast This oil painting. by
the late Thomas Mast, entitled The
immortal Light of Genius" is a replica
of a picture painted by the celebrated
American cartoonist for Sir Henry
Irving, who presented it to the insti-
tute founded by William Winter on
staten Island The artist, feeling that
in this picture he had put his best
work, made replica for himself
After Thomas Nast's death, his
widow. in pursuance of her husbands
wishes, gave the replica to the gov
ernors of the Shakespeare memorial,
Stratford-on-Avon. and it now adorns
the entrance to the theater there. The
scene represents the room In which
Shakespeare was born The "Immor-
tai Light Of Genius" emanates like a
nimbus from the head of a bust OF
Shakespeare to which the shades OF
Comedy and Tragedy offer wreaths OF
laurel
The conception is in Nasts best
manner, the rich somber color tones
heighten the effect of the supernatural
light surrounding the poets image,
and the marvellous treatment OF the
ghost-like figures is inimitable. The
picture Is a finely executed work of art,
worthy OF the high reputation of the
artist Through the generosity of Mrs.
Mast, it is now most appropriately
placed in the actual shrine Of Shakes
pearean drama, in the poets natal
town. where II will be seen by thou
sands Of Shakespearean students, both
English and American.

twelve or fourteen inches deep when
the weather cleared.
There was no we'll defined trail for
much of the wsy and their progress

it requiring the party eight days To

railroad. The scenery was sublime
and the country around there prime

xest to their experiences and their en-
joyment.
There was an abundance of game and
the campers regaled their sharpened
appetites on diet of venison, grouse

cies as the forest affords. Rev. Cook

party and kept the camp larder sup
