Immediately behind the central group is another in bronze, called "The Death of the Stag," by Mr. J. De Bay, a French sculptor. Beyond that is the stained-glass window by G. Bertini, of Milan , and in the extreme distance is the organ, by Gray and Davidson. In the gallery are specimens of the productions of the silk looms of Lyons , Austria , etc.
