BRIC-A-BRAC FOR A TRIPLE.


Down for $50, 900.
The beautiful Fiske-McGraw mansion and
picturesque site, at Ithaca, NY, costing its
owner nearly $500 900, we're sold at a public auc-
ton yesterday to Thos. Nc Graw of Poughkeepsie
for ss5,OOe. This property forms part of the
g, 900, 900 which Cornell University lost in the
famous Fiske-McGraw suit. After the suit
ended Prof. Fiske offered the mansion and
grounds to the university for s25O,0O0. This
was refused, and he later offered the property
for 500. 900.
This offer was also rejected, but why is not
known. The opinion prevails that Henry w.
Sage was disappointed at the result of the suit
and did not want the university to buy the
property. As Mr.. Sage is an influential mem

The yeerho6 Galleries.

The Veerhof galleries at 1917 + street will be
opened to the public for the frs: time tomor-
row. The entire first floor Of this large. hand
some building, selected and constructed for
the purpose. has been fitted up by Mr. veer-
hoof in an artistic style. There are three gal
leries. connected with each other. and designed
for the three classes of pictures which will be
exhibited. The first will be devoted entirely to
etchings and engravings; oil paintings will
be displayed in the second gallery. and in the
third win be gathered the collection of water
colors. Nr. Veerhof regards this division as
one that will be appreciated not only by all
lovers of art, but by the public generally The
collection which ne has brought together con-
tains many tine examples in each department,
but for this OCCASION he has secured an espec-
tally choice collection of paintings. They are
from the well-knOwn Hszeltine gallery in Phil
adelphia and are in charge OF
Mr. J. Fl. H. Walker. an art co3noiseur
of ability. The paintings have been selected
with great care and are good examples Of the
work Of the well-known artists who are repre-
sented. Among these may be named one by
Alfred Stevens and two from the easel of Geo
II. Boughton- Munkaczy, the celebrated
painter, contributes one picture, and there are
tive illustrations Of the genius of Zamacois,
Henner and other artists. An invitation has
been extended to the Society Of Washington
Artists to exhibit in this gallery, SO that an OBJ
portunity may be given to see the new pro-
auctions by local talent.
The growing interest in art matters in this
city has been recognized by Mr.. Veerhoff, whose
long business experience has enabled him to
form q correct judgment OF the needs of the
capital in this direction, and il can hardly be
doubted that his judgment and enterprise as
now illustrated viii be abundantly rewarded.
