Centennial Memorial Medal Cast.

The much anticipated centennial memorial medal, designed by Janet Scudder, is at hand, the first meda to be cast having been received. Done in delicate low-relief, the medal shows on one face an allegorical representation of “The Admission of Indiana to the Union”—Columbia welcoming Indiana as a state —while small, yet clearly modeled and forming part of the design, are to k seen the quaint first state house and constitutional elm, both still standing at Corydon. On the other face is the familiar Indiana state seal, b improved and made more artistic under the refining touch of Miss Scudder's skilled fingers. The medal committee and the commisson a’-t delighted with the medal. There will be an immediate issue of 918 numbered proof medals, having the personal signature of Governor Ralston, and enclosed in a handsome book containing descrip five articles on Lie centennial and the development of the state. The plan of allotment is to have nine of these medals sold by each member of the commission and nine sold in each county of the state, through the county centennial chairman. The price of this autographed copy is 55. There will be a general issue of the medal alone at $1 each.
