no doubt meet hearty response. The

the bounding advance of its industrial

hundreds of thousands of new people

WHISTLER'S PICTURE
OF IRVING FOR SALE
WILL BE VENDED AT AUCTION
IN LONDON
Sale of the Effects of the Late Actor
Will Be Held Soon--WiII Last a
Week-ScarceIy an Item Not Of
Great Interest

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-The supreme mo-
ment of what promises to be the most
interesting sale in the present year.
that of the late Sir Henry Irving's
property, will have arrived when
Whistler's superb portrait of the great
actor in the part of King Philip II of
Spain will appear on the easel.
The sale will be teeming with inter-
est from beginning to end. There is
scarcely a piece in the collection, the
sale of which will occupy a week in
the middle Of December, that has not
some historical interest, or some inti-
mate personal association with the life
of England's greatest mimic, but this
canvas has commanding interest as
one of Whistler's finest creations quite
apart from the more or less sentimental
reasons which will help to swell it's
price.
In connection with this portrait and
with the personalities of the equally
distinguished artist and sitter an
amusing incident Is related by Haldane
MacFall in his recently published de-
lightful memoir of Sir Henry Irving
The scene was the room in the Lyceum
theater in which Sir Henry used to
give his famous beefsteak suppers on
Saturday nights, gathering around
him most of the brilliant wits of the
time. This portrait adorned one Of the
walls of this supper room, and its Gre
ator was one evening among the con-
vivial guests. "Now," to quote Mr.
MacFall, "Whistler was the life of the
party, unless by some misfortune one
of his own pictures hung upon the
walls, when he would chatter nothing
but Whistler until the end of the
evening. Finding himself in the same
room with his masterpiece, he talked
of nothing else, until every one grew
weary of it,"
Irving smiled his enigmatic smile.
Eyes. this is accounted fine por-
trait of me in part" said he. Indeed,
1 so account it, but-I-forget-wh
painted it,"

JOCKEY RIDES

Jockey w. Fischer is romping into
prominence as the find" of the sea-
son and is rapidly going to the top
of the list of boys riding at Ascot.
Fischer is under contract to j. j.
McCafferty, one of the prominent turf
men of the east, who are wintering in
the equable climate Of Los Angeles,
and McCafferty believes the boy will
develop into another Lester Reiff.
A cool head steady nerve and an ex-
cellent pair of hands are the principal
assets of Fischer, and since he began
riding at Ascot his improvement has
been remarkable, say horsemen.
Although he has shown good ability
in handling his mounts throughout, his
best ride since the season opened was

made a runaway race of the fourth

when the Blute horse performed better
than at any other time in his career.
