CANFIELD rs ~ LONDON.
A. Caridge's to Have His Portrait Painted
by whistler.

Richard A. Garfield is in London. This
was announced yesterday by Lawyer
Delahunty, who said that MIR. Garfield
sailed ten days ago and that his sailing
would have been properly advertised IL
Interested Mr. Delahunty said:
1T has been Mr. Canfeld's custom for a
dozen years or more to GO 10 Europe in
the latter part OF November or early in
December and TO spend the winter mont hs
in wandering about the art galleries aud
through the shops OF the art dealers of the
Old World. He had intended to sail this
year the first week in December, but owing
to the visit, one evening, OF some genial
hghwaymen 10 his house in Forty-fourth
street. il became necessary for him TO delay
the date of his departure.
After he had seen the work Of the
marauders through, and had authorized
me To begin such legal proceedings As he
hoped would establish his right and that Of
every other citizen Of the city OF New
York TO the protection rather than the
oppression Of the officers Of the law, he
asked me il there was any other business
left for him 70 attend to here. l told him
there was not and, after spending a few
days at his home in Providence, he set out
on his winter wanderings.
-Ino id intally, l may say that MIR Can
fields particular business in London was
TO fulfil an engagement with Whistler. to
whom he had been sitting during two pre-
vious visits 20 London for his portrait
Mr.. Whistler was rather anxious to COM
plete the constructor OF this Bit of canvas
and he intimated TO Mr. Garfield that.
since art il long and time Il fleeting, he
would better get back TO London as soon
As possible 10 complete the sittings.'

where Who Says That II Was Stolen.

Policemen and customs inspectors carry.
ing fat bottles Of gin arrived at the
Custom House At noon yesterday in sew
eral kinds Of vehicles. They had been
making raids and had collected some 2Oc
bottles. Solicitor Hamilton gave the fol-
lowing explanation:
Under the direction Of the Law Divis-
ion Of the Custom House, twenty United
States Customs Inspectors, accompanied
by ten police officers OF the Old Slip and
Church street statiens, made simultaneous
visits TO ten saloons in South, Front, West
ndWashington streets and seized all bottled
gins found bearing the Key brand. the
allie cation being that il had been smuggled
This action il the result Of an investi CATION
which has been going on for some
time, and which has demonstrated that
certain foreign goods imported here for
warehouse and expectation are not ex.
ported, but are sold in large or small
quantities along the wate fronts. The
inyesti cation has been so sweeping as to
invest the Collector with fund Of knowledge
which it is anticipated will result in further
seizures in this and other lines. 1t is the
settled purpose Of the Collector to stamp
and TO punish those engag ged In the same.
The gin WAS originally on board small
sailing craft bound for the West Indies.
II was learned that seventy-eight cases OF
il had left the vessel. The owner Of the
craft complained that it had been stolen.
At the request of Collector Stranahan the
owner paid 4SSS duty on the missing se venty-
eight cases and put up 81 .t0O as a guarantee
that his ship would return To this port so
that it might play its part In subsequent
proceedings The vessel is now in the
West Indies somewhere, II
The gin is -Schiedam schn appe' and
comes from Rotterdam, where II has been
made for hundreds Of years; In fact. II il
said to he the same brand that had so much
to do with Rip Van Winkle's extended nap.
Certainly there was a singularly soothing
atmosphere throughout the old Custom
House yesterday after its int ntroduction there.
Heads OF divisions found il necessary TO
open windows before the doing clerks
would apply themselves, and Solicitor
Hamilton finally sent out Q hurry call for
TO remove the fat black bottles
to the seizure room in the Public Stores.

more healthy and well. Words fail to
