The annual bequests provided for in Mr. Shaw's will have

 being held, at a cost of $2,323.00. 



The Board has had under consideration for some years 

 the securing of an oil portrait of Mr. Henry Shaw, there 

 being no good Hkeness in existence. During the past year 

 a full length life size portrait has been painted by Mr. R. 

 E. Miller of Paris, late of St. Louis, from portraits and photo- 

 graphs and corrected in accordance with suggestions offered 

 by friends of Mr. Shaw, which is considered a perfect likeness. 

 This portrait has been temporarily deposited at the Museum 

 of Fine Arts located in Forest Park until a suitable location 

 IS found at the Garden.
