Slight Injury Received
When Dancing Caused
Blood Poisoning.
DEATH A SHOCK
TO ARTISTS HERE
Body of Noted illustrator To BE
Cremated at London
To-day.

London, July 26.-The tragic death
of Cyrus Cuneo, the famous American
artist. has shocked the entire artist
community OF London. Cuneo was a
man OF wonderful personality and OF
extraordinary powerful physique. lie
was almost as proud OF his boxing
prowess as he was Of his art.
A few days ago he was dancing at
a ball with nurse who recently had
attended a case of blood poisoning.
She happened to scratch him slightly
on the nose. Two days later Cuneo
WAS stricken with blood poisoning.
Despite superhuman attempts to save
his life, he died three days afterward.
His body will be cremated tomorrow.
News Of Cyrus Cuneo's sudden death
was a shock, yesterday, to MS Ameri-
can artist friends. Cuneo, however,
was better known in London than in
America, his native land, for he left
America a score Of years ago TO study
in Paris. He had lived in London
many years.
Cuneo was Californian, OF Italian
descent. Jan Matulka, Bohemian
artist, Of 3l15 Broadway, said last
night that Cuneo left New York when
a youth and studied in Paris under
Whistler. Prenet and Girado. He
later moved 10 London, where he made
a reputation as an illustrator and
sketch artist. Although he was a MEM
Der Of the Royal Institute Of OIL
Painters, Cuneo's success. Matulka
said, rested upon his illustrations
rather than on his paintings. His IL
lustrations appeared in "The lllustrat-
cd London News" He was n member
of the London Langham Sketching
Club.

Girls Get Most Attention
More enthusiasm was shown for the
chorus girls than for the cause. though,
as one of them later remarked, "the
girls should worry about that, so long
as they took in the money" II was
both pathetic and humorous 70 see the
expression on many faces when their
owners discovered that the tickets they

Winter Garden nor "Very Good Eddie,
but for one Of the best sporting events
Of the season. But they Frightened
when the girls dscoursed Of the races
to take place on the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway Saturday.
Earlier in the day. when the buses
and limousines in front of the Wander
bilt Hotel were being filed with the
chorus girls, there were few troubled
moments when things looked black for
the guardsmen's wives. But 1t was JUST
n little matter OF artistic temperament
"Say. looka the Very Good Eddie
girls down there in that limousine!
said one Of the Winter Garden chorus
"If they've gotta limousine, and we
haven't, we aren't going
the middle Of the night like this, any
how" said another, starting for the
steps.
More Limousines Obtained.
"And I've got a part, and none OF
these girls do anything except chorus
stuff" cried naughty voice.
Matters were adjusted by providing
enough limousines TO go around.
The chorus girl forces were yeser-
day led by Mrs. NJ. b. Stanton. Mrs
II. d. Jennings, Of Brooklyn, and Miss
Mary Donnelly. II is expected that
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. chairman OF
the Active Service Auxiliary. will to-
day appear to marshal her lines Of the
"Ziegfeld Folles" girls on Wall Street
and Broadway. In the afternoon EN-
ployes Of the various shops will aid III
