Famous Work of
Noted HnmOriSt
SOldier-Artist's Intended Bur-
lesque Made Him Famous
Patriotic Painter.
BY DIR. WILLIAM f. BARTON

When Archibald NJ. willard set
out 10 make a picture Of ffer and
two drummers as a recognition of
the Centennial OF American Indepen-
dence, ne had no thought that he
was setting his foot upon the thresh-
old Of fame
He meant 70 add another to his
long list OF humorous pictures.
But ne painted the most popular
patriotic picture that America has
ever known:
The Spirit OF rs"
Willard had always liked TO draw.
In his boyhood days, no fence was
sacred TO him. AS a soldier In the
Civil War he made sketches and
sent them back 10 the folks at home.
After the war he esta blished him
self at Wellington, o.. as a painter
in a carriage mandatory.
Those were the days OF the chro-
mo. and willard proceeded 10 make
many pictures. which were repro
duced by j. +. Ryder. a Cleveland
art dealer and sold TO their mutual
profit.
Real Characters.
The Centennial year was approach
ing, and willard undertook what he
hoped would be his most popular
humorous picture. a burlesque on
the old fashioned Fourth OF July
celebration.
He had his characters near at
hand. His fifer was Hugh Mosher,
a soldier OF the Civil War; the boy
drummer was Harry Devereaux, OF
Cleveland. For the central figure,
Willard got his father 20 pose.
The old preacher was himself
nothing less than the heroic. He
was tall and grim and OF Revo!u-
tionary blood, and he impaired to
the picture something which from
the first made it difficult TO treat it
] in the spirit OF the comic.
One day. after many attempts to
satisfy himself with the humorous
picture. willard threw IL aside and
started anew. He transferred his
three musicians from the bayfield,
and rustic celebration TO the battle
field. Then every suggestion of the
comic vanished.
His father was taken sick, and
never recovered. Willard worked
by day at his painting and by night
watched the bedside of his father;
and every day he put more of his
fathers character into the face and
figure OF the old man.
The painting was completed, and
exhibited at philadelphia He called
1T Yankee Doodle" But the peO-
pie renamed ii. THE Spirit OF '76."
It made Willard famous as the fore
most American patriotic painter. 1t
put wagon-p painting far behind him.
II did not occur TO Willard when
nc made his famous painting that
the three characters In 1t might be
taken for son. father and grand
father. but other people were quick
TO think of IT, and Willard liked the
idea, though he told me IL was one
he borrowed from the lovers Of the
picture. and not his original
thought
willard died in Cleveland In 1918.
and is buried in Wellington, where
10 Dafntpd wagons and rose ID fame.

United States Football Association
when the latter came into existence in
1914.
For the first time, this season, the
famous "A. +. A." cup competition
failed to be carded, chiefly because of
the paucity OF dates, due To the i'm
portant fixtures made by the new
American Soccer League, which had
taken into its fold most of the strong
elevens that once were the backbone of
the A. F. A. cup ties,
Whether the association will again
take the field is problem for the fu-
ture to decide The Same applies, per-
haps in less measure, to the old Ma
tional Football League, which, TO be
sure, started off again this season, but
for tho present has suspended it's
schedule until after the new year.

ing event of the year was the annual
race off Halifax for the tishermen's
trophy, and on this occasion the Cana
dams took a tremendous whack at
Uncle Sans maritime pride and pres
tige.
The contests, to be decided by the
best two out Of three, were sailed on
Saturday, October %, and on the fol-
lowing Tuesday, the challenger, Blue
nose, commanded by Captain Angus
Walters, taking both races in decisive
fashion. The victories recovered for
Canada the fshermen's trophy, which
had been captured for the United
States in 1920 by the schooner Espe-
ranto.
Bluenose Easy Victor
The defending American craft last
fall was the Elsie, sailed by Captain
Marty Welch, who had commanded the
Esperanto the year before. The Elsie,
eleven years old, was no match for the
Biuenose, although she was ably han
died by Captain Welch and her Ameri-
can crew. The Canadian vessel was
built especially for the purpose of re-
covering the trophy, and was construct
ed along lines calculated to give her
the maximum speed without sacrificing
her status as true fisherman. She
was built at Lunenberg and made the
required trips to the fishing banks be-
fore challenging for the cup.
A new defending craft, the May
flower, designed by Startling Burgess
had been built in the States, but the
Canadians protested that she was not
u fisherman, but only racing machine
designed solely for the international
contests. This protest led to a heated
controversy, in which the Canadian
protest was finally sustained by the
authorities in charge. There was not
sufficient time in which to build a new
defender and the Elsie was selected
as the American candidate. The de-
feat, while it was a blow to American
pride, was generally regarded as a
stimulus to this angle Of competitive
sailing. Arrangements are already
under way for another series Of races
next fall.

The contests took place on Cowes

best showing for the challengers, but
