that was numbered 100 on the Brenl sale
catalogue, which was bid off by Editor
Lingane OF the Telegram, was presented
to that gentleman by the small coterie or
PERSONAL aud political friends that hap
pened to be surrounding him at the time.
The editor expressed admiration for the
picture, and he was told to bid it of and
