Lottery

In Manhattan last week a lady put her hand into a vase and drew out a piece of paper with a name on it -- a name often stamped in blue on the snowy fat of hams and neatly printed upon bacon boxes --Swift, of Chicago. Mr. Harold H.

Swift was thereby entitled to choose a picture from the Grand Central Art Galleries for his own.

Every year the supporters of the Gallery are rewarded for their in vestment with a free lottery of selected paintings. Mr. Swift chose the only Sargent in the Gallery, a portrait valued at $15,000. The second name was Charles Clifton, President of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, who chose Heavy Weather, a marine painting by Irving Wiles. The third, James Parmelee of Washington, acquired Lilian Hale's Spring Reverie.

The fourth name drawn was Otto Kahn; he chose a portrait to be painted by John Johansen,
