THE SPORT OF KINGS.
They Were Too Much for the Shippers
Sentative of the tradition.


Hunting used to be called the sport
of kings, but not many of the me ern
crowned heads keep up the old tradi-
ton. The Gar of Russia occasionally
assists at a battue, but the thing bores
him and he goes only out of poiitenesB.
The prince of Wales is very good
shot and is fond of shooting, but his
game days are over. The emperor
of Germany hunts and shoots a good
deal. but those who know him best say
he does not much care for the sport.
With him it is a matter of tradition
the right thing for a royal parsonage
to do. The king of Portugal who holds
the record for fairness among all the
royalties, is physically disabled from
such violent exercise. The king OF
Sweden never touches gun. The sui
tan of Turl-ay cannot bear to see one,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. i de king of the Belgians has
shot only once in his whole life, and
then in a very unkingly fashion. He
wanted to have the sensation of killing
without the trouble of going in search
of the game So he sat in his arm chair
and potted at lot of rabbits let lose
from a bag in front of him. When the
smoke cleared away and his majesty
called for his bag he had to be told that
all that had been found was one tail
and a certain small quantity of fluff.
He never went shooting again. The
king of Italy is the only real represen-
tative of the old kingly tradition. He
is mighty hunter and frequently
throws up all the routine work without
a word of warning, and goes off with
one officer Col. PaZzimbolini, to spend
several weeks in pursuit of the game
OF all kinds with which the mountains
abound. Formerly he established no
means of communication with Rome.
Neither Queen Margherita nor any OF
his ministers ever knew where to find
him for weeks at time. He might
have lost his throne in a sudden up
heaval and known nothing of it till
he descended to the plains. Of late,
however. he has become wiser. Now
carrier leaves Rome every second day
during his expeditions, bringing re-
ports of all that happens

Noted Paintings by Lamented American
Artist.
The death of Frederick Edwin
Church, the veteran landscape painter,
removed weH-known figure in art
life of this country, better remembered
perhaps by past generation than By
the younger set. He was born in Hart
ford, Conn. May 4, 1926 His talent
for art was prominent and in early
life he determined to adopt art as a
profession and placed himself under
the instruction of Thomas Cole, and
resided with him in the Catskills. He
soon became we'll known as land
seape painter, and critics awarded him
praise for his accuracy of drawing
and vivid appreciation of nature. He
spent short time in Switzerland, and
IN 1853 visited South America to study
the picturesque scenery. "The Heart
of the Andes, which created a great
sensation, was first exhibited ia 1859,
and was bought by the late William
t. Blodgett. Other well-known works
painted about the same period are
THE Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi, )"
now at the Lenox library, "Chinbor-
azo." His View of Niagara Falls"
now in the Coreoran art gallery,
Washington, D. c.. is recognized as
the first satisfactory production by art
of this wonderful piece of nature; it
won a prize at the French exhibition
in 1867. Another painting of 'sMagra.
was painted for A. T. Stewart in 1866,
the price paid for it by Mr.. Stewart
being $4,000 In 1873 he was again
represented at the French capital with
two pictures. Morning in the Tropics"
and THE Parthenon." He travelled
extensively in this country and abroad,
studying nature and giving to the
world numerous productions of a high
character. A number of his works are
owned in England, one of his principal
works being 'Tcebergs, which was
purchased by Sir Edward Watson, NJ.
p, London. His wife died about
year ago. Awo sons and a daughter
survive him.
