Pye, In charge of -the permanent exhibit of th Portland Chamber of Commerce.. Is told that Hereford, Eng land, too, grows some big apples, and high priced ones. But big as they may be, Mr. Pye says, they are small com pared with some of the apples received at the permanent exhibit, which infor mation he has forwarded to his friends in old England, who felt quite proud over the apples "referred to In the let ter from St Mary's college. ' This wonderful English apple was sold at auction, after some remarkably brisk bidding 'bringing 14 pounds, or $70. It was of th Gloria Mundl variety and weighed 87 .ounces.. It was grown at the King's Acre, nurseries, at Here ford. The. proceeds of the sale of th apple were devoted to a Coven t Garden charity and the " price can therefore hardly be considered a fair one upon which to base apple values. . Mr. Pre has written to hta sister telling her that whll that Gloria Mundl was a good -one, th chamber has had on exhibit several apples of different varieties v that tipped th scale-at 88 ounoos and measured 1714- Inches In circumference. - OBLEIUIAh dies OF STARVATiOfi -V Believed Yahn White Was Nor wegian oj Royal Blood"; Had f:h Considerable Wealth.
