THE WYNKOOP SALE.
EIGHTY-FOUR PICTURES BRING $64,200
AT AUCTION--BRISK BIDDING.
A big assemblage and some pretty lively bidding were the features of the sale of the Dr. G. H. Wynkoop collection of modern paintings in the Fifth-Avenue Art Galleries, 366 Fifth-avenue, last night. Some fine paintings were included in the eighty-four pictures offered for sale, and that they were appreciated is apparent from the fact that the eighty-four pictures brought $64,200.
Robert Somerville was as cheery and chipper as usual as auctioneer. A Bargue brought the highest price of the sale, starting with a five-thousand-dollar bid, and being knocked down for $7,500. The picture will go to St. Louis. Joseph Jefferson secured a beautiful painting by Mauve entitled "The Return of the Flock" for $2,500.
