RANGER'S PICTURES SOLD FOR $77,305

It Was Most Successful Auction of Works Ever Left by American Artist.

$4,100 FOR ONE EXAMPLE

H. S. Harkness Gave It For "Edge of Woods" Painted Last Summer.

The closing session of the sale of the pictures left by the late Henry W. Ranger drew a large audience to the American Art Association last night, and the bidding was spirited. The leading figure was $4,100 paid by Harry S. Harkness for a picture painted by Mr. Ranger last summer called the "Edge of the Woods."
  
The total for the session was $42,365, giving a grand total for the collection of $77,305.  This makes it the most successful "studio sale" of the works left by an artist in American auction history. The totals and average price per picture are higher than those of the Inness and Wyant sales.
