Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 2, The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the pur- chasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser. ; 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P.M. . Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on pre- senting the bill of purchase. Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and saneiaaal of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the pur- chaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. | Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. ”, Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association — of the correctness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, crror of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faith- fully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Conditions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified.

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volwme or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference sub- mitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

A cloud shadow models an irregular outline along the fore- cround, in the middle distance a blue stream crosses the land- scape, and across the background .extends a broad, slowly rising ridge of even top, its incline varied in surface and color.

The heavy inner beams of a slant- ing roof are dark brown, resting upon a gray plastered wall touched with a yellowed light on the right, and back m the shadows a glint of light reveals a hay-mow on the left. Half a dozen sheep are seen, one lying down, one eating or drinking from a bucket embedded in the loose straw covering the floor or ground—a brown hen pecking in an overturned pail nearby. A ewe is suckling a lamb, and another sheep reaches up toward the arm-burden of the shepherdess at the feed rack.

The sun, orange-yellow and white, is seen in partial disc over a far and low horizon hill or sinking among darkened cloud-banks, and the sky above and all about is a variable, grayish-white vaporous mass, tinged with the sunset-yellow, and niggardly revealing in a corner a hint of the turquoise-blue beyond. Across the middle distance brown-green trees, one at left center with conspicuously dark limbs, project from either side at the edges of bordering wood- land, halting near the center at the banks of a stream which in the fore-middleground expands in a silvery pool, and loses itself in darkening distant mazes.

Beyond the cloud-forms is the still blue of the sky, affording a pleasant foil to the vivid contrasts of light and shade in the cloud itself. Through the semi- obscurity the glint of water on the right betrays the presence of a small river, running between shallow banks, and fringed with trees, which add the shade of their branches to the gather- ing gloom. In the foreground is a group of dogs, the biggest of which holds a hare in his mouth, and proposes to defend it against all comers, although a fox-terrier with bristly back and quivering tail is apparently anxious to argue the point.

It was exhibited, the year of his death, at the twelfth annual exhibition of the Society of American Artists, where the late General Ives purchased it. The New York Tribune, speaking of that exhibi- tion, April 26, 1890, said of this painting: ‘The Society’s exhibition is dominated, in one sense, by Mr. Sargent’s ‘Carmencita,’ but many visitors will linger over the beautiful marine which reveals a little known aspect of Mr. Eichelberger’s art. The picture was left unsigned, but the artist could have added little to his rendering of white surf, yeasty swirling water, and the tender gray tones of the ocean fog.” Exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900 wnder the title “The Wave.” Illustrated in the catalogue of that exhibition, No. 22.

Enousu: 1728—1792 169—PORTRAIT OF NELLY O'BRIEN Height, 8014 inches; ie 25 wches Tue light-hearted beauty to whom in one of his pocketbook entries Reynolds referred with kindly humor as “My Lady O’Brien,” looks directly, thoughtfully, at the spectator—some- what more pensively than in the famous portrait of her with the hat on, in the Wallace Collection. As in that one, she is seated and appears almost at full length, against a conven- tional foliage background. The background is in dark brown, yellow and green tones, with a glimpse of green-blue sky over one corner. In this one of the many portraits Sir Joshua painted of her, Mistress Nelly is in a white décolleté gown, loosely worn, with flowing sleeves and a narrow orange belt. A brownish-gray robe is thrown over her lap and over a balus- trade at her side. She wears a pearl necklace and pearl ear- rings, and pearls adorn her puffed red-brown hair. Purchased by the owner from Mr. Norman Forbes-Robertson, an amateur of London and brother of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson. The property of a Private Collector.
