LONDON, January "A correspondent

less than the reported finding of the
original of Correggio's famous master
piece. THE Education of Cupid"
A copy of this picture is now in the

This duplicate. which is supposed to be
by Van Dyck. was bought by the nation
In 1888 for s261. SEQ. This enormous price

Education of Cupid" was bought by a
young London lawyer fifteen years ago
for So at a sale at Lutons. For twelve
years the picture. which is about four
and a half by three and a half feet. was
used as a screen.
Subsequently the owner commissioned
an artist to sell 1t for SIS. Before the
sale was effected, however. the owner
happened to visit the National Gallery
with an artist friend and noticed the
striking resemblance between the picture
there and the one in his possession.
He hurried home, and the CRIME OF

A large throng is expected on the basin
