HISTORICAL WINDOW ONE
OF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY

The following interesting descrip-
ton of IN of the historical windows
in St. Peters Episcopal church writ
ten by G.. l.. Guinand, of this city.
was published in this weeks issue
of The Jersey Mosquito:
In st. Peters church there is a
beautiful stained glass window de-
plotting a scene historical of this
city. The detail is unusually fine,
the coloring sublime and the scene
well chosen in subject. This blessed
old parish is entwined with hallowed
associations of Revolutionary times
in Perth Amboy and its sacred
churchyard was within gunshot of
the most stirring events. The scene
is at the dock at the foot of Smith
street on the morning of September
II, 1875. ON the dock are Benjamin
Franklin, John Adams and Edward
Rutledge and a British officer. They
were a joint committee to confer
with Lord Howe at Staten Island
and the British officer was to he left
as a hostage. AS in the beginning
the noble characteristics of America
asserted themselves to the enemy
and this hostage was not thought
necessary. At the dock a boat is
waiting to take them to Staten
Island in which they all embarked.
On their arrival at Staten Island
they were received by Lord Howe
and conducted TO the Billop House.
The planks and spike heads of the
dock are splendid in detail. The tall
masts of ships are looming in the
gray and blue sky. Across the water
m can see the hills of Staten Island.
The portraiture we believe to be ex-
cellent and the color blending beau
tiful: II which is ever changing
with the variations of the sunlight.
At times the British officers red coat
takes the hue of that rare gem, the
pigeon blood ruby, and the blue is
ever changing. At times it is a
clear sky and again a hazy blue at
l -osphere over the hills of Staten
Island like we have seen over foot
hills and mountains. In the strong
lights the grays become wonderfully
softened and hold the picture to its
true inception. One could view this
picture for a long time without tir-
ing, enjoying it's many phases in the
transitory light.
