 BEEN FOUND IN BOSTON

Boston, Oct. 13-A Copley DOT trait of Jared Ingersol, property Of the philadelphia branch of the Ar mory family and now owned by In gersol Amory, of Boston, has beeu brought to light by workmen in the repair shop of the Museum of Fine Arts in this city.
 Preparing for the opening of tho Evans memorial wing of the ml- scum. rapairmen found canvas tO inches long by 50 inches, covered with a coat of wax and varnish that had dried to tarlike consistency and that completely oLscured the original coIors and much of the de- tail of the picture.
 Judges of painting have denied that the portrait was by Copel7' but the removal of the wax covering is said to prove beyond a doubt the authorship of the work.
 Jared Ingersol was a native ol Milford, Ct. After graduating from school he was sent to England as an agent of the colonies, at the time Benjamin Franklin was in Lon don in a similar capacity for the state of Pennsylvania. It is be- lieved that while on this visit to London this portrait was made and later brought to this country.
 Upon the opening of the new wing of the museum, which will be in the near future, this newly found portrait will be placed on exhibi- ton.
