One of the features of the week at
the Capitol was the hanging of large
portrait of Hon. Thomas E. Reed in
the rotunda Tuesday afternoon. 1t twill
be remembered that a few weeks ago
notice was received at the executive
by Mrs. Reed of a portrait of the late
Speaker of the National House of Rep
rcsentatives, the letter being accompa-
MED by a request that the portrait
should not be hung in the rotunda I'M
til the arrival of Asher Kinds, clerk in
the Office of the Speaker at Washing
ton, n. G..
M. Kinds arrived in Augusta yester-
day AMI in the afternoon the portrait
was taken from its wrappinGs and
hung in the place assigned it. which Is
in the southwest corner Of the rotunda
in the space hitherto occupied by the
portrait of the Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,,
Mr.. Morrill's portrait having been NOV
ed to the southeast corner, TO the left
| of the portrait of Edwin G. Burlcigh,
tho change having been made in order
that the Reed portrait might have a
better light.
The new portrait is a large one, the
| frame being 40x5O inches, and the ror-
trait life size and of a twO-thirdS length
view, standing. 1t was executed by
Vintor, one of the greatest portrait
painters of the country. and is said
| by those who are familiar with the
| features of Mr.. Reed to be an excellent
| likeness of the great statesman.
The gift of the portrait adds another
to the already large list of portraits of
| Names illustrious sons which adoril
| the walls Of the rotunda at the Capt.
