The Artist's Native Land Permitted the Great Canvas to Find a Home In This Country—The Story of tho Painting and Its Replicas. One of tlie chief glories of (he Metro politan museum in New York is Xtosa Boulieur's stirring masterpiece, "The Horse Fair," a picture which for its irresistible movement and living por traiture of man’s most useful friend holds a unique position in the annals of art and the affections of lovers of paintings. Few, however, are acquainted with the intimate history of that notable, canvas, and fewer still are aware that there are no less than live horse fair pictures in existence. The one In New York is the original and. it will he re membered. was iirst the property of A. T. Stewart and then purchased for the Metropolitan by Cornelius Vanderbilt for 250.000 francs. It was painted in Paris, the models used being the horses of the Paris Om nibus company and a few animals studied at the horse market of the French capital. It was iirst exhibited at the salon of 1855, but went back to the artist unsold. A part of the further history of the famous painting is recorded by Ernest Gambart in his manuscript memoirs, which have been freely drawn upon for tl»e "Reminiscences of Itosa Boo beur:” “After the dosing of tbq IRo" Paris salon 'Tile Horse Fair’ was intrusted to the Society of Artists of Ghent for exhibition in that town, where it had a great success, but whence it also came hack unsold. In the spring of 1554 I expressed to Mile. Bonheur the desire to buy it from her. At that time it was in Bordeaux, her native town. “Her preference was that the munic ipality should purchase it for the city museum, and a price of 12.000 francs had been mentioned at which the town authorities might acquire it. But she said to me that if the canvas came back to her again she would let me have it. However, she could not let it go to England for less than 40,000 francs. "p uahcM rati ngly_ accepted the bar gain, and it was agreed'!hat the pic ture should be mine unless sold "to Bordeaux. As the picture was back in her studio again in the following yeaf, I told Mile. Bonheur that I wished to take it at once in order to have it in my 1855 exhibition and that I should like to have it engraved by Thomas Landseer, the celebrated en graver and brother to the painter. “She Wits delighted at the idea of the picture being engraved and said to sue: 'I have asked you 40.000 francs for my picture, although in France I cannot got 12.000. arid I am pleased at your consenting to my terms. On the other hand. I don't mean to take un due advantage of your liberality. How can we arrange matters? Let 11s see. Well, tbe picture is very large, and it will be difficult to find a -tee for it in an engraver's studio. P -ides, you want to exhibit it. Wouldn't it In; bet ter for me to paint you a smaller copy ?' ” That suggestion she carried out and explains how the second canvas came Into existence. That smaller copy was the one from which Landseer's well known steel engraving was made and is tlie picture which is iu the British National gallery. When site heard that it had become the property of the British nation Mile. Bonheur decided to make a third copy. tlMiiking the second was not good enough for the London collection; hence "The Horse Fair" No. 3. But the National gallery authorities were not able to accept the substitute, as the painting which it was designed to replace ’had been given to them as trustees. * Besides these three. Mile. Bonheur executed a water color replica and a drawing based on a large photograph. Of all these, however, the picture in the Metropolitan is by far the finest work, which is only as it should be in view of the fact that the artist always found her best .public in' America. This was recalled to her detriment when the rosette of the Legion of Hon or was requested in her behalf. “She has ceased exhibiting at the isalon,” objected the president, “and sells in America everything she paints.” The complete answer to that was that the French government had had the op portunity to buy “The Horse Fair,” hut had neglected it—Argonaut. An Accurate Description. “Did you ever run into a telegraph pole?” inquired the elderly passenger. “Yes, ma’am,” said the chauffeur, slowing up the taxicab i» avoid a col lision with a street car. *Tve bumped into telegraph poles, I reckon, two or three times.” “Brings you to a pretty sudden stop, doesn’t it?” “No, ma’am; the machine stops, ail right, but I always keep on going.”— Chicago Tribune.

Stewart was shown one day by one of liis confidential employees an amusing caricature of himself done in pencil. "Good, good:" he laughed. “That’s excellent. Who did it?" "A young salesman at the linen coun ter. lie scratched it off as you pass ed the other morning. I managed to get it from him. and now lie’s scared stiff for fear you'll see it.” was the laughing reply. "Scared stiff, is he?" said Mr. Stew art. with a twinkle in his eye. “Just sent him to me. will you?" A little later a slim youth entered Mr. Stewart’s private office and said he understood he had been sent for. “Yes," said Mr. Stewart gravely and, holding up tlie sketch asked. “Did you do tills?” The lad grew pale and stammered. "I beg your pardon, sir: it was only a bit of fun. I meant no offense.” “That’s all very well, but you’ll have to give up your job here.” The youth humbly protested, when Mr. Stewart hurst out laughing and said: “Don’t say any more, my boy. I'm only joking. Your sketch is excel lent. and as it would be a sin to keep a man of your artistic talent behind a linen counter I propose to supply you with the means to study art." Mr. Stewart’s proposition was grate fully accepted, and it was thus that John R. Rogers, tbe sculptor, began his artistic career.—New York Press. His Littl* jokt. A well known German who is some thing of a wag walked into one of tin public offices In Cincinnati the ether day. and from the noise it was plain that lie was wearing a pair of new shoes or ones that had recently been repaired. One of the clerks remarked about tlie slices, and the German said: “I comes pretty near selling desc shoes the other day.” “How is that?" asked the clerk. “I had ’em half soled.” said the Ger man as lie walked out of the office. A deep groan was heard as lie slip ped through tho door.—Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. Why tho Statue Kept Mum. The Venus of Milo refused to tell how she lost her arms.
