So large was the attendance that for the
greater part OF the ale persons were
standing up on all sides of the room.
The predictions that had been made
about the high prices which would be
fetched by the Renoirs were fully justified.

that the competition for his work Is bound
70 increase rapidly in the future. His
London picture of the House or Parlia-
ynent, a study of sunlight brought sl1,1oo.
The highest price of a painting by
Edouard Manet was s12,4oo. for "Devant
ia Psyche
The sale Will be continued tomorrow
