"Sunset on the River" proved TO be
the best seller of the White collection,
which was sold last night at the Hotel
Para. 1t brought $4,000 from an un-
known buyer through Seaman as agent.

which ran at low figure for the most
part, considering the value of the

S5,400.

1876. Including the minor sales of the
previous evening it brought the total
for the collection up to $114,205.
The George Inness, which brought
the top price, was heralded by Thomas
E. kirby,s auctioneer, as "the finest
American landscape ever painted"

ing stream.
