No. 20 Cnr.vNK GAUHKNS , THAMKS EJI- IIANRMKNT , ClIEI.SEA , LoNDOK , July 25. [ New York Herald Cable-Special to the Br.i : . ] A star has fallen from the city of politics. Sir Charles Dilkc , condemned by the verdict of a jury , has published an ad dress announcing ills determination to with draw from public life. Ho still protests that he Is absolutely innocent of the charges made , but after the decision of the jury ho believes there is nothing left for him but to give up public life. I am deeply soiry for this on personal and public grounds. Sir Charles Dllke was always a friend of the Irish cause. Ho lately broke away from ids friend and colleague , Mr. Chamberlain , to support Mr. Gladstone and vote for homo rule. I have known him personally for twenty years. He was n 8I.KNIiH ) : , KA1K-FACCD YOUTH when 1 llrit came to know him. 1 have no Intention of impeaching the verdict of the jury oroi discussing the details of the case , but ono'.s personal knowledge of the man mu&tcouut for something , and the decision of a British jury has never , so far as I know , been infallible. Icaunot but acknowledge that Dilkohimself admits that thu evidence went terribly against him. Sir Charles himself said yesterday , after the verdict had been given , that ho did not see how a jtny could avoid finding Him guilty of the charges with the evidence against him. It was simply a a question of "Do you believe the statements of these several persons , or the denial of this ono man ? " Well , 1 know most or all of the people who were conspicuous in the cascand I make my personal choice as to a belief. A VISIT TO Dii.iu : . I can only say that I went to visit Sir Charles Diluo yesterday immediately after tno verdict , and hnd a long talk with him and endeavored to induce him to give up one at least of his resolves , concerning his connec tion with English pftblic life , and that I grasped his hand on partincc. His fall Is like that ot a tower. Ho stood high above every other rising Kngllsh statesman , and but for what has happened ho must have been prime minister after Gladstone. He would have hardly oven acompetltor for the position. Ho had made his whole life one of TKAKVINO ron rouiicAL SUCCESS. Ho had sought experience of the most var ied kind , had traveled all over the world , and know most European countries as well as ho know his own. Ho hnd worn the Ge neva cross on many n bnttlellcld in order to B2Q something of battle nnd campaign. lie was Intimately acquainted with the publlo men In Europe , America , Australia , and the east. Ho knew Russia as well as Turkey , India and China , and was to all appearance actually cut out tor a prime minister , who was also secretary of foreign affairs. Ho Is still what wo , In Knidl.sh politics , consider a young man only in Ills forty-third year and now , as Evelyn says of Charles II : "Now is all in the dust. " The whole story of English public life contains no other example ol such a career thus cut shott , of so splendid a rlbo and so sudden and TKKIUIII.I : A FArr < . Meanwhile Lord Salisbury is engaged In forming an administration. His trlends in the club rooms and diawing rooms are be ginning to talk very big about the things ho is to do so as to form a very strong govern ment ami got rid of all the old fogies of for mer tory administrations nnd Infuse a vast quantity of now blood. Generally speaking , ho will make us , his opponents , "sit up , " as the London slang phrase would put it. No doubt ho will got rid oC some of the old fogies. Sir Richard Cross will be shot , llku rubbish , into the house of lords , possibly. DIgnllicd , stately uml honest old Lord John Manners will bo shoved nsldo somehow , but whcro are the now men to como from'I do not hear of any man of promise among the lories. 1'eo- plo In the drawing rooms talk of coercion , but people In the cabinet counsels know bet ter than to talk or think of anything of the kind. A of the great majority liberal-seces sionists are pledged as deeply against coer cion as the Glndstonlnns , or , for the matter of that , the nationalists themselves. A S.ills- bury MINISTRY WOULD UK WIPKD OUT at once if they tried any coercion In Ireland. They will not try anything ot the kind. They will endeavor to tldo over the next ses sion with some sort of land scheme , nnd if they remain In olllco until the following ses sion , they will by that time be educated by the party and go In for homo rule. There is Eomo talk ot Lord Charles Bercsford , the lighting sailor of the Nile nnd the Soudan , for Irish secretary. It Is hardly serious , I should think , and yet I don't know where they could find n better man for the position in which , under tl-e present circumstances , no genius end no statesman * ! ! ! ) ) could boar fruit. Tor myself , I would rather scoBcres- ford in ofilco as Irish secretary than ono of the regular DIAD : HEAT TORY POLITICIANS , Bcresford Is n gallant and dashlnt : sailor Ho is nn Irishman who never denies his country nnd U popular among all men. He never pationlzed a man ( nail his life , and would Just as warmly shako hauds with an Irish peasant as with an Irlbh peer. lie does not care three straws nbout politics and does not know enough about Dublin castle traditions to hold them in thoslljhtcst reverence. Of course , he U not n man of any political ability or exper ience \\hiUever , but of what possibles use are Ability and experience In nn Attempt to cov- ern Ireland on tory principles. Wo shal never npilu In Ireland lake a chlof secretary Bcriously unless wo know that he Is cornmls filoucd ty prcjinro A , ecill.jrn pou HOUE rtUUg.

" Lord Charles 5ercsford would do quite well. JUSTIN-MCCARTHY. A OKA VIS nUJNDEU. ' Gladstone's Jntnca O'Kclly Discusses Il < ; < ilgnatloii nnd Other Matters , LONDOK , July 23. ( New York Herald Jable Special to the BKK. ] Gladstone and its cabinet decided , In obedience to a some- vlint quixotic notion of political honor , to re ign the government Into the hands of Sails- > ury nnd his unionist allies without walling 0 meet parliament. This decision was n grave political blunder. Hallows the unionists tnd liberals to sneak oft nfter stabbing the Ibcrnl government in the back. It would mve boon , much better to compel HftrtliiRton , Chamberlain & Co. to give the coup do grace publicly In ttio face of the nation. That would have settled the piospccts of the unionist-liberals throughout the country. The next election would have compelled them to go over honestly to the torles , to whom nany ot them properly belong , or at the eleventh hour to ictuin to the liberal fold mul maintain Gladstone In power. THIS FINAL ACT OK POLITICAL SUICUIU is only an example of the way the general election has been lost. At the liberal head quarters tlicic lias been n want ol courage nud decision from start to finish , carried so far in some instances as almost to suggest a suspicion of treachery. Yet candidates are lloodlng the newspapers with columns of losh ) why wo were beaten. The fact Is , wo were beaten by the want of organization , want of courage and want of money , but especially by the fact that In Great Britain ricli men hayo many votes while the poor tiavo but one. It may interest Americans to know that If a man in England bo rich jnoiigh he can vote in twenty constituencies. Tills gives the tories on enormous ad vantage. Ono cliuich of England par- sou boasted publicly that ho VOTLI ) AT PIFTUEN KLrCTIONS. Nearly all the wealthy men have at least two votes and a considerable number half a dozen. The tory majority was made up of these plural votes , n majority of the clectois for Gladstone and homo rule. But the olural votes defeated the popular voice. This sys tem must come to an end. The popular cry for the future should be , "Ono man , ono vote. " The point I wish to make clear Is that , though the majority of the votes wcte castagalust us , the majority of the people voted in favor of home rule. Tlmtls Important to remember. The bone and muscle aie on our side. However , there is little use In explain ing away defeat , for all practical purposes we are beaten. THE REAL INTEREST CENTERS in the future , \Vhat > lll Salisbury do ? For tunately ho will bo In a minority and can only do what parliament Wills he shall do. The schemes of an active coalition between the tories and Hartington have broken down. The unionists will only suppoit the torlos in matters on which they are agreed. This par alyzes Salisbury from the start , and renders the continuance of his government precari ous before It has begun to exist. The tory newspapers are making n most ludicrous ap peal to the liberal-unionists to sink all ideas of party order and MAINTAIN ' 1HU TORIES IN POWER. They evidently feel that Salisbury's govern ment is coming into life with a sentence of death hanging over it. Under these circum- btuncca , all the ideas of an heroic Irish policy have to bo abandoned , and some sweeping schemes of reform will probably take the place of the policy ot "twenty years of a firm government. " The greatest interest centers in the appointment of AN iniSII SECRETARY. Several persons are already named , but 1 have excellent Information that the man most likely to bo chosen will be W. II. Smith , who Is best known to fame as Gilbert and Sullivan's comic "commander of the queen's navce. " The selection of this respectable bookseller points to the intention of an clfort being made to settle the laud question by some comprehensive purchase scheme. The radicals , who defeated Gladstone chiefly on his purchase scheme , will therefore have to swallow a tory purchase scheme , should it bo drawn on lines the Irish party can support , because U Is well to keep In mind that the Irish and tories combined can defeat all the liberal parties combined. My Infor. mattou also points absolutely TO A NEW DEPARTURE on the part of the torlos lu lilllnc up govern ment ofilces in Ireland. Englishmen and Scotchmen , If not absolutely excluded , will bo put aside as much as possible and all posts Intliogtttof the government will booffcicd to ii isluncn. Already several homo rule sym pathizers have been approached by tory agents and enquired of as to whether ihey will accept situations in the Irish govern ment , If olfered. This applies only to men who are not active politicians , but , no doubt , If the tory advances arc favorably received , similar offers will bo made to actlvo politi cians , so far as the parliamentary party Is concerned. I nut confident all such offers will bo rejected , but In A poor country llko 1 1 eland there's always a considerable tall of hangiirs on , many of whom might not bo able to resist the temptation of comfortable berths for life. Bo that as It may , this now tory de parture goes to prove that Salisbury nnd his friends are In A CONBinnilABLY CHASTENED SPIRIT by the result of the elections , nnd do not feel qulto so cock sure as EOIUO of their organs of the prcts of the final defeat of homo nile. Evidence of an opposite spirit however , Is not wanting , the London tory press crving very loud for the political de capitation of Sir .Robert Hamilton , ono of the best and honestcst public servants who even filled the post of under secretary for Ireland who took the post Immediately after the as- SHESinntlon of Bnrico and Cavendish in Phcenlx park , who by honesty and courage soon won the icspcct nnd confluence of the Irish people. Ills crime is that ho favors homo rule. THE DISHONEST PRESS. The dismissal of competent publlo servants for political reasons is contrary to tun spirit and traditions of English government. The proposal Is absolutely revolutionary nnd shows how thoroughly dishonest the London press Is. It would bo to the great advantage of the Irish cause If Salisbury wcro unwise enough to sacrifice Hamilton to the outcry of the London papers , because such action would bo certain to produce a strong reaction ot Eii < gllsh opinion ngalust the tory government , JAMES 0'Kuu.Y.

LONDON , July 25. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the BEK. ] The past week lias been no exception to the custom that the English week of each English July shall bo the great spotting and panics \\eck of the year. Durine the last six days there have been great matches to shoot , rowing , cricket , polo , lawn tennis , bicycling chess and rac ing. In the much berated cricket match ot Knirland versus Australia the homo team made a score of 353 for one wtckct , while the colonial team made an utter break down in their batting. Counties against counties have been HOWLING AND DATTINO everywhere fiom ennrlso to sundown , and often in the pourtnc rain. Kemp , of Syd ney , Now South Wales , who came as trainer For Beach , was beaten yesterday by George Bubcar at Hammersmith , the celebrated sculler , over the full Thames championship course , winning by three lengths in 21:25. : Early In the week Kemp was beaten over the same course , a little over four miles , by Por- klns , of Kothcrheath. In both cases Kemp failed in Maying power , although taking and keeping the lead three-fourths of the way. Beach seemed chagrinncd at the results. TUB fcCUI.LINU CHAMPIONSHIP. These competitors , with Beauh , Wallace , Ross nnd Mattcrsou , are entered in the In ternational sculling champion sweepstakes of 810,000 each and 82,600 added by subscrip tion.

Tills was the Wimbledon week too , and yes terday afternoon the 1'rlnccss of Wales dis tributed the prbes amid nn innuendo con course. While the prizes wcro largo and the entries more numerous than heretofore , it was agreed that the scoios were not so excel lent as in many past years. MANY POLO MATCHES. The Uurlliitrhain polo club have played many matches this week with other and dis tant clubs. The teams were well selected and matched and the attendance of. spectators large. The interest in this game is increas ing wonderfully. A few years ago it was almost entirely in the hands of military clubs. Now civilian polo clubs equal the former In number. There is a polo club , the members of which are called "Freebooters , " with grounds at Lark Hill , Liverpool , and Ballydarton , county Carlow , Ireland. WILL PLAY IN AMERICA. I give these details only because a team from these places is coming to America. The team will consist of I. Watson , civilian , cap tain ; the Hon. 11. Lawloy , Captain T. Hone , Seventh Hussars , and Mr. Cole. They sail on the 7th 6f August and remain two months , not longer , as the Seventh leaves for India in November. The ponies , about twenty in number , left the Albert docks in the Erin on Wednesday last. The Seventh Hussars claim to bo the Enallsh lutioduccrs of polo , having played it eighteen years asro In India , Major Hunt , late of the Seventh , being one of the lirst team. Some of the polo ponies were sold atTattersall'sthls week and fetched long prices. They belonged to the Earl of Airllc , of the Tenth Hussars. Ono , a line brown inaro named Deception , was sold for 51,00X3 , and n brown gelding named St , John for 5000 , THE CHESS IJANQUKT. The week appropriately closed last evening with a banquet by the British Chess associ ation at the Criterion. It was characterised by that exhubeiant enthusiasm peculiar to cl'css players at chess gatherings. Alter an excellent menu the chairman , Sir Robert Peel , looking none the worse for being a parliamentary martyr for homo rule , pro posed the usual loynl toasts. Then followed "Success to the Chess Association'which , desplto many Imperfections , had already done good work in the short time of its ex- lst nce. To the toast of thn "Foreign Vis itors , " Major Hnnham , m replying for the Americans , expressed their appreciation of the cflorts of the British Chess association in providing them with an attractive tourna ment. FOR A NEW YORK TOURNAMENT. The remark that ho hoped veiy soon that there may bo a similar tournament arranged In New York elicited hearty cheers. Sir Robert Peel assuied him , In reply , that the American tournament would bo enthusias tically responded to by the English chess players. Some humorous speeches were ncxthcaid and the distinguished company only found "check" when Sunday morning arrived. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IB HE KNOWN IN NEW YOKIC ? A Noted Convict Marries a Slalrt Un der False Pretenses. BIRMINGHAM , July 25 [ New York Herald Cable-Special to the BEE. ] "Does Inspector Byrnes know a Dr. Vivian ? " is the question the police here are asking to-day. Ho Is as bad as the fictitious Vivian Groy was , nnd as full of re sources , lie claims to have como not long ago from New York. Dr. Vivian , alias Giey , lr. Bechanan.orBarnet , or Percy , or Guelph the queen's family naino turned up lately in this vicinity with both money and brains. After llvlnjc some time In an humble way , Dr. Vivian , with surprising suddenness , became - came possessed ot a considerable amount of ready money with which he made a display. About thrco weeks ago the American doctor went to a ( lower show near hero , where hemet met n young lady of fine appearance , named Emily Margaret Wllkes , who lived with her uncle and aunt. AN ATTACHMENT SPRANG UP between the couple , notwithstandin. the dif ference of their ages , twenty-one nnd forty- one. Personal appearance was not a recom mendation with tbo d6ctor , , who , in addition to bclnjr many years licr senior , is only five feet six Inches lu height , stout and of sinis ter countenance. In due course the doctor was Introduced to MIs U'llkes' family , who , judging from uia lavish supply of cash , looked upon him a a aADESIBAULH ADESIBAULH PABT EK for their niece. On the iSth ot July , "Dr. James Vivian , of New York , was married by license lo Emily Margaret , only daughter of the Ulo James Wilket , ot Albert Road , AUon. " The raayUt'o cortege was elabor ate , the flowers for tbo numerous carriages costing 860 , whllo upon the breakfast table at ? MW was expended. The bride's trosscau was prepared nt a leading establishment here , while the brldceroon s outfit was supplied by a well-known tailor In the town , nnd all wcro duly paid for. After the breakfast the happy pair took the trnln to London where n few days of THE HONEYMOON WAS SPENT In grand style nt the Lnnghnm hotel , the two rooms occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Vivian costIng - Ing nt the rate of $30 per ijay. Having done London the return journey was made and the pair proposed lo stay n day or two with the bride's relatives. One morning this week Dr. Vivian informed hlswlfo that business of an Important chniacter required his attend ance at Liverpool. Ho accordingly lett , ask- ng his wife to go to London and ho would meet her at the Laneham. Mrs. Vivian went and was subsequently met by him. In the meantime , .SUSPICIONS AS TO VIVIAN got afloat and detective called upon Mrs. Vivian's aunt to hnqw whether she could recognize a rcicniblaiico"bctweorrtlib docto"r and a photograph of the many aliases who was wanted for felony nt Wlilto Church. The aunt admitted n striking likeness be tween the husband of her niece and the portrait trait of J Im Barnct , whose sister resides at Aston and \Uiose husband recently left Eng land for America at the Instigation of the doc tor. The suspicions aroused werontonco made known through the bride's uncle , who went to London on purpose. TAKEN IIY THE POUCH. The doctor returned on Thursday , when ho Indignantly luformedhls wife's relatives that ho would go down io the police station nnd Inquire into the matter. Singularly , how ever , ho mlstooK his way and turned In the way of the railway station whither , on qutckcnini : ills steps , ho was interrupted by Detective Whttecroft addressing him ns Jim Barnet. The detective Informed the doctor that ho would arrest him for a hotel robbery. He leplicd that the officer had mistaken his man , but accompanied Whttecroft to the lockup where ho was detained. The police state that Vivian Is A WELL KN OWN CONVICT. Ho was only discharged trom servitude last February , and on being released came to Birmingham , where he met Detective Super intendent Blank , to whom , during a conver sation , he stated lie would never do anything in England again , but was golnc to America , where ho had several jobs on , which he should soon get finished , and then would return to England to spend the money , as the treaty did not say much of burglary or larceny. On Monday he will be brought before the magis trate. In the meantime his wife Is In a state of terrible distraction , and she , too , is asking , "Is my doctor husband , known to the New York police ? " THE GRKA.TAKT SALE. Mixny Paintings of'tlio Old Mastero Auctioned On" . LONDON , July 25. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Bui : . ] The n'nal ( u9. persion of tlie treasuievf Blenheim palace began yesterday atteuioon at Christie & Man- son's auction rooms , St. James , near Marlborough - borough nouso and Club Lane. The late duke , tlnou h the eamo house , sold ills library and nntlqno gems , Llmagcs and enamels. His successor has nlrcadviobtained 437,500 for Ilnphaql's ' "Madonna" and Vvulyko's "Charles l" ! tAu the national gallerjv What tiio Rothschilds' * gave the duke for IhSIUibens' family grouus , or what was paid for the "Garden of the Ucspcrides , " or Del Piorabo's "Portrait of a Lady , " or Keynold's "Fortune Tellers , " all gone to wealthy buyers , are prices unknown. But that may bo conjectured when it is re membered that all these were portions of TWELVE SELECTED PICTURES , for which the present duke last year asked 82,000,000. The approach of yesterday's auc tion sale and those that are to follow has ex cited the greatest Interest In the old and now world. The registers of the London hotels show that many critics and picture dealers from all the continental cities have como to attend the sales , and they and the leading London dealers were grouped around the auctioneer. Artibtto noblemen , private amateurs , a few ladles , a sprinkling of Amer ican curiosity mongers , the omnipresent re porters , and several society mon contributed to make up the remainder of the audience. Tlicso , whenever the best pictures worn brought forward , would applaud. All scorned to feel that It was A OREAT HISTORIC OCCASION , with reminiscences reaching back to "Good Queen Anne. " Auctioneer Wood's manner and voice wcro similarly affected. Ho was dignified , not over-persuasive , with lingering cadences as If regretting thcro were not bet ter prices given for works as rare as century plants. The first fmv paintings sold were by minor Dutch artlbts and excited so little In terest that It was feared iho dull bidding : pre saged a failure of tlo ( auction for the rest For eight pictures the prices ran from 802 for a portrait by Brauer'to S'250 for a seascape by Bcckhuysen , mainly , to English dealers. THE FIRST CONTEST was over Gonzalcs Coqtics' "Portraits of a Dutch family. " It started at 8500 and was knocked down for 950 , but on a claim of a double bid was restored , and finally sold for S2.5.M ) to Sedolmycri the French dealer. A very excellent "Inn Scene" by Cuyp was next started nt SV ° 0 , raised on a second bid to $5,000 , nud quickly sold to Martin Col- nambl for SS,7CO , The first Vandyke sold , "Saturn Clipping Cui'ld's ' Wings , " wcnt.nfter long , dull bidding , toAgnow , tlie BondBtrcet dealer , for l,3Mk lie also got the next two Vandykes , both "Tho Virgin" nnd "Child , " for $2,500 , and 8250 , respectively. Doyle , the director of the national gallery of Ireland , took the repulsive "St. Sebastian" of Van dyke for S270. The next seven pictures , by Ferg , Frank , lleemskjrk , aim Uughlen- berg , 60LTJ AT LOW PRICES , ranging from 899tofiM'J , A fine , deep-colored Haysmnn , a landscape , broke the dull bid- dine. It started at f 500 and rose rapidly to 81,800. , Two unattractive works by Jordasm figure pieces , sold to ajJFiench dealer at low prices. Noseda , on English dealer , got for 8405 the only spcoimcuj qt D. Ma as , sold to day , . The next .a b aujffully finished land scape , full ot minute , highly colored work by Van DerNcer , was1 sold to Warncck , a Paris dealer , for 8SOO. Another , larger , with dull colors by the same pfinter , was bought for 81,750 by a Mr. SaUjnpj ft private person. THE FIUST UNDOUIITCED REMURANDT , "Tho Woman Tatep in Adultery , " was started after long hesitation at low figures and run up by bids of 82i and 550 to § 1,100 by a lesser Bond street dealer. The auc tioneer hero amused the audience by his prompt suppression of au unfortunate per- bon who ventured tobid 65 above the last bid. One fine nude "Mar * and Venus Ensnared by Vulcau , " sold low at § 010 , because , as the dealers put it , ft WAS TOO DJLKE to suit the British matron. Another , less good out more decent , madoby llottenhamer , sold at considerably higher figures. Five paintings by Iluysdael , Snyders and Stecn- wyck attracted little , attention , selling after dull biddlug , from 860 to $760 , The first Ten ters , brown and green landscape , passed at 8350 Into private hands. The second Tenlers , a finely drawn Interior , started at 81,000 , and was sold , utter spirited bidding , for $2,750 to CoL ! 'jel Naglil , tuo deal ? * . The third Ten- IcrSj an unattractive caricature , "The Mon- kcysDrcsscd -Monks , " sold for 8450 to Banting , n dealer , after rapid but small bids. THE FIRST SERIOUS CONTEST of the nf ternouii came next over n "Seaport in Spain , " by J. B. Wccnlx. This was among the pictures the British national gallery wished to buy , but failed through a lack of funds. The figures In the foreground are largo and capitally drawn , but curiously Dutch for Spain. The auctioneer saw that Agnew , the dealer , who was a member ot par liament the last session , had had his eye on the picture , nnd therefore created a laugh by asking why Agnew snuiwtted the ministry In its refusal ot a supply nf funds to buy the painting for the nation. It started at S2M ) , nnd by bids of 25 nnd 850 from many parts of the audience , was finally sold to Agnew now for 82,030. Ho also cot nn uncatalogucd Flemish palntlnc , with lovely bits of draper } ' , for 81,200. Three excellent battle pictures by P. Don ncrman wcro sold to Murry & Adams , dealers , at 8370 , 81,000 nhd sa,2.X ) . Hl'llKNS1 WOIIK8 OKFKIIKI ) . The audience , lilthci to very quiet , drew n long breath ns the first of the seventeen works of Itnbcns offered in the sale was put on the easel. People settled themselves In their seats and prepared for long and excited contests. The auctioneer drew attention to the fact that the seventeen Kubcns wcro mainly presented to the great Duke of Marlboro bore by foreign princes nnd cities , and wcro therefore now sold first-hand from Kubcns' easel. Ho said that in the whole forty years of service Chrlbtles had not sold so many llubcns as would now be sold. A "Madon na and Child" was the first put , and the buy ers looked n long time silently at the lovely face of the Madonna. After great hesitation 8500 was offered. This caused laughter , and bids ot 8250 nnd 8500 each quickly raised the price to 8ftSOO , And It was sold to Davis , n dealer. The sncond Rubens , a "Holy Fam ily , " the Madonna in the same brilliant rod robe shining through black drnpincs , but the child almost-wizened , started at 81,000 nnd sold for 82,300. Rubens' "Adoration of the Mngl , " an enormous canvas with ugly faced figures , started at 55,000 , was raised by two bids in 87,500 , and sold to Adams , the dealer. lUchtHon. Cavenalsli Bcntinr.k , byuslnzlo quick bid of S'-.GOO , got Kubens "Mclcager Presenting the Wild Boar to Atalnntn. " This was considered the CHEAPEST PURCHASE OF THE DAY. "The Heturu of the Holy Family from Egypt" was started at 82,500 and sold to Murray , a dealer , for 87,500. The second "Holy Family" was sold to Agnew , the dealer , for § 5,000. This was considered by thfl experts present a very cheap buy. The audience loudly applauded the picture as It was placed tin the easel on account of the beauty of the child's face. The rtext picture , "Suffer the Little Children to Comn Unto Me , " lu brilliant colors but ugly , offered a striking contrast to the cntlto naturalness of the previous picture. It Is alleged to bo by Rubens , but most of the experts present claimed It as a Vandyke or by uimo other master. It sold for 84.000 to Murray.
