CRANDEST GATES IN

PEERLESS WORK OF ART AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

SEQUEL TO QUARREL.

Three sixteenth century gates, be lieved to be the finest in Europe, have been brought to light in West minster Abbey. They soparate the chapel of Henry VII. from the main building, and after being.en- crusted with dirt for many years, are now being cleaned and revealed in all their beauty.

We owe them, according to tradi- tion, to a furious quarrel which took place between the two great Italian artists Michael Angelo sad Pietro Torrigiani....

A dispute between these two men developed to such an extent that they had recourse to their fists, and in the stand-up fight which ensued the nose of Michael Angelo is said to have been broken i

Torrigiani, dreading the vengeance of his ad- versary, thought well to place the sea between himself and the iu furiated Michael, He selected England to be the place of his re-. treat, and from our point of view. it was an extremely good thing that he did so.
