Zhe doubts, or rather more than donbts, that had been cast on the authen ticity of some of the pictures resulted in very timid bidding, except in & few cases on the by far larger number of un- doubtedly getiuine examples, and the audience Was small, containing but few well known buyers and hardly any of the picture dealers, Somewhat of s stir was caused just after Auo- tionéer Norman, before opening the sale, stated ‘that Senhor ds Mendonca was selling his modern { @s there were pl } Wasall they could say. .Whoen the picture ‘‘Le works because he was now buying old masters, | Mr. Montague Marks, editor of the Art Amateur. | thereupon arosefrom his seat and wanted to know if the pictures were guaranteed to be genuine | and who vouched for their authenticity. Mr. Nor- | Man answered rather oddly that they were sold | On the authenticity of Senhor de Mendonca, As the Minister was present and there was no doubt on this point, quiet, if not confidence, was re- ‘stored. WILLING TO SEND THEM TO HENNER - ‘When the auctioneer camo to the two works at- tributed to Henner, he announced that the artist was alive, and thatthe Minister, if the purchaser wished, would send them over at his expense, and that if they were fictitious they could stay there nty such on this side and that Repos” was put up Mr. Norman said, as the bids id not sesm to be coming, that the | @udience evidently did not believe they were Henners, The work finally sold to Mr. HE. LL, M. Bristow for $210, less than a tenth of its vaiue had it been accepted as genuine. For the second work, signea J. J. Benner, “Une jth he se Regardant Dans Un Puits,”’ Mr. Stanley mer, after a short competition with Mr, Id- ward Kelly, paid $610. When the sale had dragged along to No. 46 with $426 as the highest figure, and that for Israel's “An | Old Fisherman of Schayoyingep,’’ Mr. Norman re- marked, as a plea ‘for ‘more rapid bidding, that the works were being murdered, and that they roight as well all be murdered all at once so as to be done with it, : AG ou ee With few exceptions the works about which there was 230 doubt met a worse fate than’ those about which thore was, and there were bargains in number. It was not until No 47, Gonzalez’s “Conyalescence © ad’ un Prince” was sold that the one thousand ‘dollar mark was passed. It brought $1,250 from Mr. W. 8. Bradley, who gave the highest © rice of the evening—$3,000—for Amis Morot’s eautiful nude, “Dryade;” $2,090—a very low figures for Corot’s ‘‘Berger Jovant avec une Chévre,” and $1,700 for Vinea’s ‘‘La Oave,”’ $800 for the Jacque ‘‘Paysagsun Troupeau pies d’un Cherie — i Barbizon” and $600 for Mcrot’s *‘Arabs Attacking ap English Outpost.” THE MADRAZO'S FATE, The large Madrazo, “Morning Reflections,” © brought but $1,000, the purchaser being Dr. H. M, Harris, of Providence, RK. J., who secured a nuto- ber of other works, including Decamps and Michels, at much lower figures. | _ The Corot “Bords de 1’Oise, le Maton,”’ brought $950; Richet’s ‘Paysage en Normandie” $560, and the Daubigny ‘‘Paysage la Foniaine’’ $526. — © Other prices of interest are Michel *‘L’Abreuyoir,” $450, ‘L’Orage,’”’ $410, and “Approaching Storm,”’ — $410; Decamp’s “Vue d’Orient,’ $400; Waphno’s “A Chloe,” $225, and “Sancho Panza and Don Quix- ote,’’ $220; Bascassat, “Study for a Cow, &c.,’’ $125.
