Saturday, October 10, 1925. The Chinese Imperial Collection.

It was, of course, a Saturday.

The Saturday Evening Post hit the stands with a depiction of a cowboy who had just been bucked off.  It was a nice depiction, but the hat with the huge crown was a movie, or dude, type of cowboy hat, albeit one popular in the movies at the time.  Real cowhands would not have worn a hat with such an enormous crown.

The Palace Museum was opened to the public in Beijing by the Republic of China.  The museum was in the former Forbidden City and contained 1,170,000 pieces of artwork.

Upon the Japanese invasion in 1937, most of the collection was moved to Nanjing. During the Chinese Civil War much of the collection was moved to Taiwan, where it remains.

Game 3 of the World Series was played, leading to this:
