Frederic P. Vinton of Boston, a gentleman eminent in the art of portrait painting, was awarded the commission. I now have the Iionor to report that he has completed the work asigned him and prodnced a portrait which is historical in character. This morning I received a commnnication from him which explains itself. He writes : "In the portrait of Captain Clark I represent him standing on the top of the thirteen ineh gun turret, in front of the con- ning tower, under the pilot house. Behind him i...s the six inch gun turret, from which projects the guns trained to starboard and ready to fire. The pilot-house is only two feet above his head. The ship has her war-paint on — a lead colored gray. The Captain's uniform is, as I believe, the identical uniform worn by him at the battle of Santiago, and is correct according to the Naval regulations of that time. During the engagement the officers wore no swords. The moment chosen by me for my painting is that when the Oregon was in full chase of the Colon, after having placed the other Spanish ships Jiors de combat, — two of which are seen burning on the beach in the distance.
