Around late December 1923, after a loss to Morrie Sclaiffer in Omaha, Nebraska, Panama <mask> disastrously contracted pneumonia for a second time.Doctors strongly discouraged him from continuing his boxing, and he was bed-ridden for two months. <mask> took only a four-month period of recuperation before resuming a career as a competitor, though he would never again compete on the world stage. His loss of the Colored title to Larry Estridge only six months later was likely a result of the endurance he

 had lost to his illness. Win over Andy "Kid" <mask> defeated Andy "Kid" Palmer in their first meeting on January 6, 1923 in a twelve-round points decision at New York's Commonwealth Sporting Club. They had met earlier on October 27, 1922, in the feature bout at Brooklyn's Rink Sporting Club. <mask> had been uncharacteristically disqualified for a low blow in the sixth round, after having been warned twice previously for hitting low. <mask> had started well in the first few rounds, but subsequently took a beating from the short jabs of Palmer.Losing the Colored World Middleweight Championship, June 1924
Only six months after his second battle with pneumonia, <mask> lost his title to Larry Estridge in a decisive ten round unanimous decision at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on June 26, 1924. <mask> was floored three times in the bout, and was cut by the swinging jabs of his southpaw challenger. <mask> was down by the second round, and may have been woozy in the remaining eight, where he gamely took a serious battering, but fought on. Estridge was twenty-two to <mask>'s twenty-eight years and had a six-pound weight advantage which may have played a factor in the bout. Estridge successfully defended the title in a rematch with <mask> at Queensboro Stadium in Long Island City, Queens, New York on August 11, 1924 before a crowd of 16,000. <mask> once again took a battering in the match. It was Estridge's sole title defense.The title went into abeyance after Tiger Flowers became the first black boxer to win the world middleweight championship when he defeated Harry Greb in 1926. According to BoxRec, Panama <mask>'s last recorded fight was at Balboa Stadium in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico against Francisco Soler on June 10,

texts: events until 1201. Roger of Hoveden is particularly important in relation to what is now south-western Scotland, the land of the Gall-Gaidhil. He served as an emissary in the region in 1174 on behalf of the English monarch, and thus his account of, for example, the approach of Donnchadh's father Gille-Brighde towards the English king comes from a witness. Historians rely on Roger's writings for a number of important details about Donnchadh's life: that Gille-Brighde handed Donnchadh over as a hostage to Henry II under the care of Hugh de Morwic, Sheriff of Cumberland; that Donnchcadh married the daughter of Alan fitz Walter under protest from the Scottish king; and that Donnchadh fought a battle in Ireland in 1197 assisting John de Courcy, Prince of Ulster.Another important chronicle source is the material preserved in <mask> Fordun's Chronica gentis Scottorum ("Chronicle of the Scottish people") and Walter Bower's Scotichronicon. John of Fordun's work, which survives on its own, was incorporated in the following century into the work of Bower. Fordun's Chronica was written and compiled between 1384 and August 1387. Despite the apparently late date, Scottish textual historian Dauvit Broun has shown that Fordun's work in fact consists of two earlier pieces, Gesta Annalia I and Gesta Annalia II, the former written before April 1285 and covering the period from King Máel Coluim mac Donnchada (Malcolm III, died 1093) to 2 February 1285.

 Lochlann with them. Lochlann ignored Henry's summons until an embassy consisting of Hugh de Puiset, Bishop of Durham and Justiciar Ranulf de Glanville provided him with hostages as a guarantee of his safety; when he agreed to travel to Carlisle with the king's ambassadors. Hoveden wrote that Lochlann was allowed to keep the land that his father Uhtred had held "on the day he was alive and dead", but that the land of Gille-Brighde that was claimed by Donnchadh, son of Gille-Brighde, would be settled in Henry's court, to which Lochlann would be summoned. Lochlann agreed to these terms. King William and <mask> swore an oath to enforce the agreement, with Jocelin, Bishop of Glasgow, instructed to excommunicate any party that should breach their oath.Ruler of Carrick
There is no record of any subsequent court hearing, but the Gesta Annalia I relates that Donnchadh was granted Carrick on condition of peace with Lochlann, and emphasises the role of King William (as opposed to Henry) in resolving the conflict. Richard Oram has pointed out that Donnchadh's grant to Melrose Abbey between 1189 and 1198 was witnessed by his cousin Lochlann, evidence perhaps that relations between the two had become more cordial. Although no details are given any contemporary source, Donnchadh gained possession of some of his father's land in the west of the kingdom of Gall-Gaidhil, namely the "earldom" of Carrick. When Donnchadh adopted or was given the title of earl (Latin:

 control of a large amount of territory, though not without encountering further resistance among the native Irish. Cumbria was only a short distance too from the lands of the Gall-Gaidhil, and around 1180 John de Courcy married Donnchadh's cousin Affrica, whose father Guðrøðr (<mask>idh), King of the Isles, was son of Donnchadh's aunt.Guðrøðr, who was thus Donnchadh's cousin, had in turn married a daughter of the Meic Lochlainn ruler of Tir Eoghain, another Irish kingdom. Marriage thus connected Donnchadh and the other Gall-Gaidhil princes to several players in Ulster affairs. The earliest information on Donnchadh's and indeed Gall-Gaidhil involvement in Ulster comes from Roger of Hoveden's entry about the death of Jordan de Courcy, John's brother. It related that in 1197, after Jordan's death, John sought vengeance and

Donnchadh's interests in the area were damaged when de Courcy lost his territory in eastern Ulster to his rival Hugh de Lacy in 1203. John de Courcy, with help from his wife's brother King Rǫgnvaldr Guðrøðarson (Raghnall mac <mask>idh) and perhaps from Donnchadh, tried to regain his principality, but was initially unsuccessful. De Courcy's fortunes were boosted when Hugh de Lacy (then Earl of Ulster) and his associate William III de Briouze, themselves fell foul of John; the king campaigned in Ireland against them in 1210, a campaign that forced de Briouze to return to Wales and de Lacy to flee to St Andrews in Scotland.

texts: records attest to Donnchadh's continued involvement in Ireland.One document, after describing how William de Briouze became the king's enemy in England and Ireland, records that after John arrived in Ireland in July 1210:  The Histoire des Ducs de Normandie recorded that William and Matilda had voyaged to the Isle of Man, en route from Ireland to Galloway, where they were captured. Matilda was imprisoned by the king, and died of starvation. Another document, this one preserved in an Irish memoranda roll dating to the reign of King Henry VI (reigned 1422–1461), records that after John's Irish expedition of 1210, Donnchadh controlled extensive territory in County Antrim, namely the settlements of Larne and Glenarm with 50 carucates of land in between, a territory similar to the later barony of Glenarm Upper. King John had given or recognised Donnchadh's possession of this territory, and that of Donnchadh's nephew Alaxandair (Alexander), as a reward for his help; similarly, John had given Donnchadh's cousins Ailean and Tómas, sons of Lochlann, a huge lordship equivalent to 140 knight's fees that included most of northern County Antrim and County Londonderry, the reward for use of their soldiers and galleys. By 1219 Donnchadh and his nephew appear to have lost all or most of his Irish land; a document of that year related that the Justiciar of Ireland, <mask> Marisco, had dispossessed ("disseised") them believing they had conspired against the king

<mask> (3 July 1859 - 7 April 1942) was a Catholic White Fathers missionary who was Vicar Apostolic of Nyassa in today's Malawi from 1911 until his resignation in 1934. Early years

<mask> was born on 3 July 1859 in Sainte Marie-de-Redon, France. He was a deacon in his home Diocese of Rennes, then was admitted to the White Fathers (Society of Missionaries of Africa) on 22 September 1882. He was ordained a priest of the White Fathers on 22 September 1883. For six months he taught scripture at the novitiate. In March 1884 he left for Zanzibar, where he worked for fifteen months. On 19 September 1885 <mask> left Bagamoyo in the missionary caravan of Jean-Baptiste-Frézal Charbonnier, headed by Bishop Léon Livinhac, who was returning to his mission in Buganda.At Kondoa the missionaries met Captain Émile Storms, who was returning to Europe after delivering the stations of Mpala and Karema to the White Fathers. The caravan reached Kipalapala on 12 December 1885, where it rested. On 19 January 1886 Charbonnier and his two companion left for Ujiji. There they embarked on Lake Tanganyika, reaching the mission at Kibanga on the west shore on 19 March 1886. Kibanga

Kibanga was fortified so it could be defended against the forces of Tippu Tip and Rumaliza, who were constantly raiding the region for slaves. The mission provided a refuge for people fleeing from the slavers. The mission had an orphanage with over 100 children who had been redeemed at the great slave market in Ujiji.It was self-sufficient in food, with the refugees working the fields. Guillemé was to work there for the next three years. Guillemé assisted in obtaining supplies, building, teaching and supervising field work. In 1887 the mission was attacked by slavers who were driven off by gunfire,
In 1888 the mission redeemed 162 slaves and baptized 204 people. At the end of that year there were three hundred children in the orphanage. Charbonnier died at Karema on 16 March 1888. Léonce Bridoux was

 asked to succeed him as Vicar Apostolic.On 16 January 1889 <mask> embarked for Ujiji to wait for Bridoux. Bridoux reach Ujiji on 25 January 1889, and the two priests reached Kibanga on 28 January 1889. At the end of April, Bridoux left for Mpala, taking with him <mask>, who was to head the mission there. Guillemé became a qualified doctor. Around this time <mask> learned the art of vaccination, which he was to practice for the rest of his life. During a smallpox epidemic in 1908 he personally vaccinated over 1,500 people. Mpala

The missionaries were reduced to three when Father Moncet died in August 1889.Guillemé as Superior was assisted by Father Herrebaut, while Father Van der Straeten was assigned to the village of Captain Léopold Louis Joubert near Mrumbi, to the south of Mpala. During 1890 and 1891 the intensity of slaving activity increased. Joubert, whose job was to defend the Marungu region surrounding Mpala, took an active role against the slavers. Rumaliza responded by sending an expedition with the goal of eliminating Joubert. On 4 June 1890 Guillemé received a letter from Rumaliza warning that his troops were planning to cross the Lufuko River seeking Joubert, but saying they would not harm the missionaries. The next day however a storm destroyed many of the attackers' boats, and the others withdrew. Bridoux died of a fever on 20 October 1890.His successor was Adolphe Lechaptois, who made his base at Karema, which he reached on 8 September 1891. From there he visited the missions of Mpala, Mrumbi and Kibanga on the west shore. On 16 October 1891 Captain Alphonse Jacques, head of the Belgian anti-slavery expedition,
arrived at Mpala in time to disrupt Rumaliza's plans for another expedition against Joubert. Jacques stayed until Christmas. He left the next day for the north, and established the military base of Albertville near the Lukugo River. By the end of 1891 the threat from the slavers had been seen off. The mission was prospering,

 and had 300 Christian households and almost 2,000 catechumens.On 22 February 1892 a caravan arrived at Mpala, led by Bishop Lechaptois. With him were Father Marqués, who had been appointed pro-vicar of the Upper Congo, and two missionaries to reinforce the staff. Marqués died on 11 August 1892, and Guillemé administered the pro-vicariate until Father Victor Roelens arrived in March 1893. In January 1893 Rumaliza was finally defeated and forced to flee. In March 1895 the Upper Congo became an apostolic vicariate, led by Father Roelins. In December 1895 Roelins gave Guillemé responsibility for the vicariate while he visited Belgium. In June 1896 there was a revolt of soldiers to the north of the mission, but Captain Joubert intervened successfully and the mission was not attacked.Roelins returned to Mpala on 10 September 1897. One of the tasks he set for Guillemé was to exhume the bodies of missionaries who had been buried at Kibanga so they could be reburied in the church at Mpala. Guillemé found that the fields around the former mission that had been cleared with so much effort had completely returned to jungle. On 25 November 1897 Guillemé left Mpala. He crossed the lake to Karema, and then traveled by way of Lake Nyasa to the coast, from where he sailed to Marseilles. Later career

<mask> was next assigned to assist Mgr. Joseph Dupont, the Vicar Apostolic of Nyassa, who had to return to Europe for medical attention.<mask> left Marseilles on 19 May 1899 and arrived at Kayambi on 29 July 1899. He founded in turn missions at Kilonga, Chiwamba, Mua and Kachebere. In January 1905 <mask> was appointed Visitor of the vicariates of Nyasa, Karema and Upper Congo, and was able to revisit the places where he had worked before in the Congo. Towards the end of 1905 <mask> was elected to attend the White Fathers general chapter. He left Europe again on 25 July 1906 as regional superior of the vicariates of Nayasa, Karema and Upper Congo.

He was ordained as bishop by Bishop Auguste-Léopold Huys on 18 June 1911. In February 1915 there was a minor rebellion in which considerable material damage was done. Forty three rebels were captured and three sentenced to death. <mask> gave evidence at a subsequent commission of inquiry in which he pointed out that none of the rebels had been Catholics.He noted the dangers of distributing bibles too widely, since native teachers could make dangerous interpretations of the teachings in them. Guillemé was always careful to avoid conflict with authority. After World War I he issued instructions to missionaries,

Guillemé returned to Europe again in 1920 to attend the general chapter of the society. After his return he founded a junior seminary, several new missions and a leprosarium,
He introduced use of the local language into primary schools. In 1930 <mask> was honored as a pioneer of the Congo by King Albert I of Belgium. He later received honors from the governments of Britain and France and from the Pope. He retired on 27 June 1934, but continued to live at a mission in his former vicariate, which was given his name.<mask> <mask> died on 7 April 1942 aged eighty-two. References

<mask> (October 12, 1908 – May 3, 1993) — born <mask> — was a prominent Ecuadorian novelist, essayist, journalist, historian and diplomat. An innovator of the 20th-century Latin American novel, he was a founding member of the literary Grupo de Guayaquil ("Group of Guayaquil"), which brought a new emphasis to realistic novels. The government of President Jaime Roldós Aguilera (1979–81) appointed <mask> as Chancellor of the Republic and he also served as Foreign Minister of Ecuador (1979–80) and Ambassador to France (1983–84). His books have not yet been translated into English. Biography
<mask> was born in Guayaquil in 1908, the son of <mask> (1862-1919) and of Amalia Diez-Canseco y Coloma (1865–1945), daughter of the former Peruvian President Francisco Diez Canseco y Corbacho and his wife. <mask> had to support his family from the age of 14. He read at night and assisted as a gate listener at the Colegio Vicente Rocafuerte, which was co-ed until 1937.He would monitor student conversations to ensure proper decorum. Pareja completed his early education in his hometown: primary school at the Colegio San Luis Gonzaga of the Christian Brothers. In 1927 <mask> and Jorge Pérez Concha founded the magazine Voluntad in collaboration with Leopoldo Benites Vinueza, but they published only six issues. In 1930, <mask> embarked on an adventure in the United States. As a result of the Great Depression, he worked on the New York City docks for a year (his later novel El Muelle (The Pier, 1933) reflects these experiences). After returning to Ecuador, he became a professor of

 history and of Spanish and Spanish American literature at Universidad Laica Vicente Rocafuerte de Guayaquil. He also served as a Superintendent of Secondary Education and as a deputy of Guayas Province.In 1934 he married Mercedes Cucalón Concha, a second cousin and niece of Carlos Concha Torres and his wife. They had three children together: Cecilia, Jorge and Francisco. Political issues
As an intellectual who was attracted to socialist ideas, Pareja sometimes was at cross purposes with the ruling governments in Ecuador. During the dictatorship of Federico Páez (1935–37), Pareja was incarcerated and ultimately exiled to Chile. There he worked for the Ercilla Publishing House. Returning to Ecuador, he became a member of the Assembly, but was jailed again by the regime of President Aurelio Mosquera Narvaez. (This 30-day detainment formed the basis of his novel, Hombres sin tiempo).In 1944 <mask> was appointed as Ecuador's chargé d'affaires in Mexico. In 1945 he became a special representative for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in Washington D.C. He later served in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, coordinating for the governments of México, Central American nations, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Between August 1979 and July 1980, during the government of President Jaime Roldós Aguilera, <mask> was appointed to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. During the rule of Roldós's successor, President Osvaldo Hurtado, he served as Permanent Delegate to UNESCO and Ambassador to Paris (1983–84). After retirement, Pareja

 dedicated his time to historical research. He died in Quito on 1 May 1993.Literary works and political stance
<mask> was born into a conservative family but became part of a “socialist generation” in Ecuador. He lived through considerable political turmoil in the 1920s and concluded that his country's salvation lay on the left side of the political spectrum. He denied, however, being a “left-winger”. He insisted that he did not want to use his fiction as an instrument of propaganda. Rather, he sought to simply and directly depict social conditions that called for redress, while denouncing those in power who were guilty of corruption and injustice. His first novel, La casa de los locos (1929), satirized Ecuadorian politics. He attacked so many living people that publication was considerably delayed.Pareja attested to the strong influence of the Mexican writer and politician José Vasconcelos. Other major literary influences included the Greek classics, Balzac, Dostoievski,  Thomas Mann, Will Durant and Arnold Toynbee. Some critics have also detected the influence of Freud, Ehrenburg, Gide and Proust. <mask>'s cycle of narrative fiction was marked by realism and a strong connection with the history of his country (El muelle [“The Pier”], 1933; Hombres sin tiempo [“Men Without Time”], 1941; Las tres ratas [The Three Rats], 1944). Having established a reputation as a writer both inside and outside of Ecuador, in 1944 he published an important biographical novel, The Barbaric Bonfire, about the actions and historical circumstances surrounding the life and death

<mask>, A.R.C.A., (8 July 1915 – 22 May 2016) was a British artist, best known for her work during World War II for the Recording Britain project. During the War she was commissioned for Recording Britain to make architectural records of old buildings in anticipation of their possible destruction. Eighteen finished works were presented to the scheme and her legacy is also preserved in many books. Early life
<mask> was born at Hampton on Thames, the younger of two daughters of <mask>, a banker with Glynn Mills, later Coutts (d. 1954) and Jessie, née Cross. Her Christian name comes down through her paternal family originating with a Belgian ancestor. After leaving St Philomena’s, a Catholic school near Carshalton, she studied at Wimbledon School of Art and then at the Royal College of Art. Like many students of her generation she was influenced by the draftsman and engraver Robert Sargent Austin.<mask> gained her RCA Diploma in 1938. She taught for two days a week at the Central School of Art and was evacuated with the school to Luton during the Second World War. In Luton she continued to teach and also worked for a Blood Transfusion Unit at the local hospital, later moving to St Albans, where the art school was rapidly establishing itself as a centre of excellence. She would return to London for the weekend, a hazardous journey since there had to be total darkness on the trains to comply with the Blackout restrictions. World War Two
An introduction to Arnold Palmer resulted in <mask> receiving several commissions from the Recording Britain project: the counties she was allocated included Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cornwall. The Victoria & Albert Museum holds 14, while three Bedfordshire and one Cornish watercolour are still missing. <mask> was especially intrigued by Mow Cop, below the hill on which Primitive Methodism was founded in 1810.The numerous participating artists in the scheme exhibited at the National Gallery, which had been emptied of its own collection.

 Oxford University Press, partly financed by the Pilgrim Trust from the USA, enhanced these artists' reputations both at home and abroad. In 1943 and 1944 <mask> exhibited at the Royal Academy, where a painting entitled Blood Donors was sold but unfortunately its present location is not known. In September 1944 the War Artists' Advisory Committee purchased, for six guineas, the picture Suburban Flying-bomb Damage from <mask>. In 1945 a painting entitled Study of American soldiers standing outside, the Rainbow Corner, North London, was sold to James Bussy of Sheffield. Her work in portraiture continued apace and one of the most characteristic paintings, which remained in her own collection, was that of her father, Percy Ebsworth <mask>, in his ARP helmet. She described how everyone was so debilitated towards the end of war – “not eating properly didn’t help their health and confidence was extremely shaken”.Post-war
After the War, two further topographical books, illustrated by her exclusively, were published for the Visions of England series by Paul Elek: The Black Country, by Walter Allen in 1946 and Derbyshire, by Nellie Kirkham, in 1947. In 1944, <mask> began to teach at St Albans School of Art, in what was considered to be a very informal art college: in 1947 she was appointed to teach permanently in the painting school, usually the preserve of men. She continued to teach there until she became, briefly, a full-time senior lecturer in the Graphic Design School at Twickenham College of Technology. <mask> settled in Hampstead. There, her continued enthusiasm for the initiative set by Recording Britain, led her to sketch many local London vistas. Two particularly fine examples are Bombed Building, Weatherall House, Well Walk NW3 being knocked down of 1948 and Hampstead Heath Station and Magdala Pub 1949 are now in the collection of the Hampstead Museum at Burgh House, just up the hill from where her family still live. <mask> shared a house on Church Row in Hampstead village with fellow artist Olive Cook in the late 1940s.In 1950, she was asked to design the sets for The Atom Secrets, a play for the

To commemorate this Pollock’s Museum Trust published a greetings card showing The Cabin of the Lucy for Scene III in 2003, with the encouragement of Alan Powers. <mask> contributed illustrations to articles in various magazines, notably Far and Wide. In 1952 she wrote and illustrated an article on ships' figureheads for Collins Magazine. <mask> became a member of the Society of Industrial Artists, Illustrators Group (MSIA) in 1957, having contributed to their Biennial review in 1949. Amongst her early students from St Albans as well as Ronald Maddox was David Gentleman, and from various other establishments were John Raynes, Stanley Smith, Albany Wiseman and Ian Sidaway. <mask> also exhibited in the Allied International Artists (AIA) group exhibitions, with the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club.Painting Styles
Fresh, primary colours characterise her work of the 60s and 70s: highlights of red abound in her still lifes and portraits: pots of geraniums, a summer hat, the costume of an Indian wooden marionette. Trees were always important sources of subject matter, the pear tree in the garden of Christchurch Hill features from the moment they moved to Hampstead. In her later career a series of large canvases, painted with a rich brownish palette reflect her interest in spiritualism, Freud and Jung in particular. While she was growing up her father had not encouraged a religious leaning in his household and she may have found an equally cool reception from her husband, an atheist, for this work but there is an unmistakable passion/ambition therein. In 2009 an anthology of her poems, The Silent Fairground was published and a review written by Piers Plowright for the Camden New Journal. In autumn of 2013 an exhibition was held at Burgh House.

A pending unrestricted free agent as the 2011–12 season wrapped up, <mask> was rumoured to be returning to the Senators, though he ended up re-signing with the Bruins on June 11, 2012, agreeing to a four-year, $12 million contract. The deal, however, was quickly rejected by the NHL due to what then-Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli referred to as "payroll tagging issues." <mask> stayed with the Bruins, and played in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals. As the 2013–14 season began on October 3, 2013, with a home game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, <mask> had his first-ever chance at a penalty shot in his NHL career in the first period of the game; he converted the penalty shot, scoring the first Bruins goal of the season against goaltender Anders Lindbäck while the Bruins were in a short-handed situation en route to an eventual 3–1 home victory. The goal marked the first time in NHL history that a team scored its first goal of the season via a penalty shot. In his sixth year with the Bruins in the 2015–16 season, and in the final year of his contract, <mask> began the campaign leading the Bruins penalty-kill.<mask> scored 2 goals in 11 games before on November 3, 2015, he buckled his left leg on the ice and broke his left femur in a game against the Dallas Stars.

title: Billy Purvis (1853)

texts:
<mask> (13 January 1784 – 16 December 1853) was a Scottish entertainer and showman, living in Newcastle upon Tyne. His life is very well documented; his act was regularly mentioned in newspaper articles, for instance a detailed account, including a brief biography, of his performance at Newcastle Races. An autobiography appeared in 1849. Although he could read and write, Purvis speaks in the biography of having a letter written for him by a stationer; so it is not surprising that his 'autobiography' was ghostwritten, by J.P. Robson. Another source is a posthumous biography published by T. Arthur, although the identity of the author is not stated. This states that the earlier autobiography is basically the work of Purvis himself. Although writing two decades after Purvis's death, the author was in contact with his widow, who was still alive.The author had other sources, for instance quoting from correspondence between Sam Bayliss, of <mask>' company, and "T.A. ", presumably the publisher. Another source is a detailed obituary of his widow. Early life
One of twins, Purvis was born in Auchendinny, Scotland on 13 January 1784. Besides his twin brother, he had three other siblings including another pair of twins. The family moved to The Close in Newcastle in 1786. He was still living in the same house in 1849, when his autobiography appeared.Although he travelled widely, "through the greater part of England and Scotland", this house remained his base. At the age of 10 he became a drummer for a militia regiment, "The Newcastle Loyal Independent Gentlemen Volunteers" despite the initial opposition of his parents, who feared he would be transferred to another unit and sent to fight. At the age of 16, he was apprenticed to John Chapman, a carpenter and joiner, and completed his term there. Shortly after beginning this, he also started working in the

 twopence, while many others charged just a penny.The show was an elaborate one - it included not just <mask>, but his own company of actors and his own band. Later career
At the end of 1836, he opened the Victoria Theatre. This was "It was none of your common concerns, it measured ninety feet in length by thirty in breadth." As it was built of timber, in less than a month, it cannot have been a permanent structure. He undertook not to compete with the Theatre Royal in Newcastle,  so the show closed in February 1837,  and the company then went on tour. He seems to have been very well liked by his company; on one occasion, when they were playing in Dundee, he was presented by his company with a silver snuff-box, inscribed

WILLIAM PURVIS, ESQ.,

By the Actors of the Victoria Theatre, at Dundee, as a Token of Respect,

for his Perseverance and Benevolence

as a Manager. May 21st, 1842.Musical career
From his biography we know that he was also a respected player of the Union Pipes. The engraving above shows him playing this instrument. One detail apparent from this, is that the drones were not tuned solely in octaves like the modern instrument, but there were two drones in octaves, and another intermediate drone a fourth or fifth above the bass drone. This corresponds to the drone pattern of earlier "Pastoral pipes", and  there are surviving sets of Union pipes in the Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum by Robert Reid, with such drones. There seem to be two regulators, in contrast to modern Irish sets which have three, but he is playing with the chanter stopped on the knee, as with the modern instrument, so these are not Pastoral pipes. He visited Bedlington, where he played the closing part of an entertainment at the Northumbrian piper and fiddler Thomas Hair's public house, the Blue Bell. This was relatively early in his career,


title: Billy Purvis (1853)

texts:
 after 1815 but before 1818.It is stated that <mask> was made very welcome there, and that Hair "was much taken with my Union pipes and my manner of playing them", so it seems he was well respected as both a musician and an entertainer. Purvis says he spent 'many a happy night' there, so he must have been a regular visitor. He was welcome too; Hair gave him the best room free, which he would not normally let out to anyone. Purvis's act became very popular, so he would have brought a good, and no doubt thirsty, crowd to The Blue Bell. On another occasion, in Blanchland, on playing to the clergyman, Mr. Ireland,

"My union pipes delighted him very much, as I played several of his favourite airs with great effect. To this instrument I am greatly indebted ; not only for the harmony it is capable of producing mechanically,
but also to the chords of friendship which it has
been the means of awakening in the human heart, and to
the sympathies which its notes have engendered —
sympathies which I trust may always exist even after
the chanter of <mask> has ceased to sound." The pipes were an important part of his act:

"When we arrived at any place, and could procure a large room in the locality suited to our purposes, we played what we termed 'inside business', which comprised my wonderful exhibitions of conjurations, comic singing and recitations, hornpipe dancing ; together with the great attraction of my union pipes."His piping was also appreciated in Scotland - on one occasion he played for Mr. Forest, a musician and gunsmith in Jedburgh, who on seeing that he played this instrument, "his countenance brightened, and harmonious feelings seemed to be dancing about the corners of his lips, and sparkling in the dilating pupils of his eyes. He informed me, that he was a great admirer of the instrument.... My pipes were in beautiful tune, and I

 succeeded in making a favourable impression on the minds of my delighted and complimentary company. I have often been astonished to find that the Union Pipes were such strangers in Scotland. It is an instrument well suited for the performance of Scottish Melodies, especially those of the minor or plaintive description. The beautiful harmony produced; the sweet and melancholy appealings of the upper notes, and the subdued tones of the chanters, render the Union Pipes infinitely superior to the Scotch bagpipe; the screaming. screeching, tearaway yells of which, resemble the wild wailings of some angry hurricane or, to use a more humble figure, the caterwauling of a thousand ill-conditioned cats." On another occasion he played for a dinner party hosted by Sir Walter Scott - Scott had also engaged two Highland pipers, who "paraded up and down the room giving vent to their unearthly music, and screaming out their tunes in such a horrid way that put a stop to all familiar conversation".It is not known for sure who made his pipes, but he does state that he went to get them repaired by 'Mr. Reed of North Shields' who made Union pipes as well as Northumbrian pipes; it is likely he would have had them repaired by their maker. Given the apparent date of this, around 1840, "Mr. Reed" would have been James Reid, who continued the business of his father Robert. One indication of Purvis's fame at this late stage in his career, is that a horse named "<mask>urvis", owned by a Mr. Stebbings, ran in numerous races, for instance in 1846. End of his life and posthumous reputation
In 1849, as an old man, saying "my strength begins to fail", "he gave material into the hands of Mr. J. P. Robson to write his autobiography, paying him £20 for the undertaking. It was first issued in twopenny numbers, and went like wildfire, the first buyer being Mr. W. Campbell,


title: Billy Purvis (1853)

texts: bootmaker, Dean Street, who requested Purvis to write his autograph in it. Many buying the numbers were not particular whether they gave Purvis pennies or half-crowns for them, in such esteem he was held."Robson was careful to write in his subject's own voice; the style of Purvis's distinctive stage patter would have been very recognisable to his fans. The book is written, roughly in chronological order, though largely undated; <mask> is telling us, through Robson, the story of his own life, rather than Robson writing about <mask> in the third person. Also in this 1849, playing at Sunderland Fair, "in fine feather", "his terms were high", as he was charging the relatively large sum of 6d for admission to the pit of his theatre, but still attracting a good audience, in a year when trade at the fair was slack. He died on 16 December 1853, in Hartlepool, at the Angel Inn, with his family around him. He seems to have been in some poverty towards the end of his life; his company had struck for wages the previous month, and in consequence he got no income from the Fair at Newcastle, and his obituary  refers to him dying "with an empty pocket and heavy heart", and his widow's obituary refers to him being broken in "body, spirit and fortune". He was buried in St. Hilda's churchyard in Hartlepool, "in a stranger's grave". At his funeral, "his remains were followed to the grave by members of the Masonic and Oddfellows' lodges to which belonged, the company of his theatre, and a host of others".Six and a half years later, a stone was erected to mark the grave, the cost being met by the proceeds of a benefit performance given by Messrs. Sanger's company. An image of his gravestone is at the Houghton Le Spring website. His widow survived him by 27 years, at first living on in the house in The Close. A few years later she was admitted to the Holy Jesus

 Hospital, then an almshouse, in Newcastle. In 1875, the second biography, published by T. Arthur, appeared, stating "At this time (1875) Mrs. Purvis, in her 89th year, still lives, and is to be found at the Jesus Hospital, Manors, Newcastle. She is an interesting old lady, and ought not to be forgotten in her great age. Whoever publishes a life of Purvis ought to take care that <mask>'s widow shall share in the profits."This suggests that one motive for writing this second life was for the benefit of Mrs. Purvis. She died, still in the Jesus Hospital, on 9 November 1880, at the great age of 94. In a death notice, <mask> was still remembered as "the famous showman of the north". The same account was also printed in papers in London and in Dundee, indicating the extent of his fame, almost three decades after his death. A more detailed obituary appeared in  By this time only two of her family remained alive. One daughter was married, but Bella, the other, was single, and "attended to every want of her ancient parent". On her 94th birthday, 23 October, she appeared hale and well, but shortly afterwards, she fell ill, and died.Re-enactments
Purvis's act has been re-enacted by several people over the years. In 1886, in Tynemouth, there was a "Grand Revival of the Original BILLY PURVIS'S Show", featuring "20 Star Variety Artistes, Military Band, and Dancing." His name was clearly a strong selling point more than three decades after his death. Comedian Joe Ging recreated <mask> in the 1980s, and the costume is now held by the Tyne & Wear Museum Service. Since 2009, <mask> has been re-enacted at carnivals and fetes, including Houghton Feast in Houghton-le-Spring, by local historian Paul Lanagan. References

<mask> (née Ambroise; (1849 – April 1898) was a French opera singer who performed leading soprano roles in Europe and North America and later became a singing teacher. Born in French Algeria and trained at the Marseilles Conservatory, she was for several years the mistress of William III of the Netherlands. She had a son Robert by her next lover Gaston de Beauplan, but the relationship eventually foundered after their return from the financially disastrous 1880–1881 American tour de Beauplan had organized to showcase her talents. Following her retirement from the stage in 1890, Ambre opened a singing school in Paris with the composer Emile Bouichère and married him in 1894. As a singer, she was particularly known for her performances as Violetta, Manon, and Aida, but is primarily remembered today as the subject of Édouard Manet's portrait of her as Carmen. King's mistress: from Algeria to the stages of Paris
Ambre was born in Oran in French Algeria to a prosperous French family. After her father's death when she was sixteen, she went to France to study at the Marseilles Conservatory and made her debut in that city.She then went to Paris for further training with Gustave-Hippolyte Roger and first appeared there at the Opéra-Comique in La fille du régiment, after which she was engaged to sing in Geneva, Bruges, Brussels, The Hague, and Amsterdam. According to the French press at the time, she appeared in Amsterdam in the 1876/1877 season to great success in the title roles of Mignon, Carmen, and Ernest Guiraud's Piccolino, and a brilliant future was predicted for her. It was while singing in the Netherlands that she met King William III and became his mistress. He conferred the title "Comtesse d'Ambroise" on her and bought her extravagant jewels as well as a lavishly appointed country house in Meudon outside Paris where the couple often sojourned. After the death of his estranged wife Queen Sophie

 year later at the age of 35.After Bouichère's death, Ambre continued with her singing school and musical soirees but led an increasingly lonely life. She died in Paris in April 1898. According to an article in Le Ménestrel published four years after her death, she had committed suicide with an overdose of morphine. Her friend  recalled that Ambre's funeral was even sadder than her death. When the carriage bearing her flower-covered coffin arrived at Père Lachaise Cemetery to be buried in Bouichère's tomb, the mourners were told that the requisite fees had not been paid. The coffin was placed on the pavement while the mourners gathered together the 200 francs requested. Checking the accounts again, the cemetery official requested an additional 100 francs.The mourners had exhausted their cash, and Ambre had to be temporarily interred in the common grave. Although it had been many years since she had last performed in the United States, her death was reported in several newspapers there. The magazine Brooklyn Life wrote in August 1898:
The ephemeral qualities of operatic success are once more exemplified by the case of Emilie <mask>. In the early days of the Mapleson regime she made something of a sensation in New York, particularly as Aida, a role to which her very dark complexion was well suited. Now she is dead. Not long ago her effects were auctioned off at the Hotel Drouot. The whole civilized world heard the news, but there was scarcely a sigh from the public, for the singer had been absolutely forgotten.Ambre's son  became a journalist, critic, and essayist. A fervent collaborator and propagandist for the Vichy government during Germany's occupation of France, he was sentenced to death as a traitor immediately after the war. The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment partly through the intervention of his daughter Claude who had been a member of the Free French Forces in London. When his

 health deteriorated in 1950, he was released from prison on medical grounds and died in 1951. Manet's portrait

Édouard Manet first met Ambre in the summer of 1879 when he was taking treatment at a spa near her estate in Meudon. She and de Beauplan, who were planning to leave for Mapleson's American tour in November of that year, offered to take Manet's The Execution of Emperor Maximilian with them and arrange its exhibition in New York and Boston. Although painted in 1869, it had never been exhibited before.In the summer and early autumn of 1880, as she and de Beauplan were planning their second American tour, Manet and his family stayed in a house in Meudon rented from Ambre. There he painted a portrait of her as the Spanish gypsy heroine of Bizet's opera Carmen. Ambre had sung Carmen in the Netherlands early in her career and during the 1879–1880 Mapleson tour, but she had never sung it in France. The opera had not been seen in Paris since its world premiere at the Opéra-Comique in 1875, although it had several subsequent stagings in the French provinces. Keen to perform it in Paris, she asked Manet to write his friend Antonin Proust and urge him to pressure the Opéra-Comique to revive it for her. A Paris revival with Ambre never happened, but she did sing the role again on her 1880–1881 American tour. Scholars differ as to whether the portrait was done at Ambre's request or as a thank-you gesture from Manet for having organized the exhibition of The Execution of Emperor Maximilian the previous year.During the late summer of 1880 Manet wrote to Eva Gonzalès that he would be working on the painting every day as <mask> was leaving for America that October. However, the portrait remained in the artist's possession. It was in the inventory of works inherited by Manet's widow Suzanne on his death in 1883. The portrait reflects Manet's affinity for Spanish subjects which was most pronounced in his

 early career, but a theme he occasionally returned to in his final years. In addition to the 1880 portrait of <mask>, he painted several Goyaesque tambourines in 1878–1879, including Spanish Dancers and Dancer and Majo, some of which were shown in an exhibition at La Vie Moderne in April 1880. Ambre's pose and costume in Manet's three-quarter portrait are very similar to that of Nadar's photograph of Célestine Galli-Marié, the original singer of Carmen. The brush strokes are very broad, especially for the dress and the hand holding the fan.The most detailed area is the singer's face which is outlined in white with one half noticeably brighter than the other giving the appearance of her standing before stage-lights. The same effect can be seen in Manet's 1877 portrait of Jean-Baptiste Faure as Hamlet. Emilie <mask> as Carmen was bought from the Manet estate in 1883 by the widow of Thomas A. Scott and remained in the Scott family until 1964 when their collection was donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It remains on permanent display there and has also been shown at several international exhibitions. It was seen in New York and Paris in 2002–2003 as part of Manet/Velázquez: The French Taste for Spanish Painting, a major exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and then travelled to the Museo del Prado in October 2003 for the museum's first retrospective of Manet's work. In 2012–2013 it was shown at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio and the Royal Academy of Art in London as part of Manet: Portraying Life, an exhibition devoted entirely to Manet's portraits. Notes

He won The Sporting News Rookie Pitcher of the Year Award and appeared in the World Series, which the Reds lost in five games to the New York Yankees. However, his control problems resurfaced in the minor leagues after that, and he never appeared in another major league game. Following his career, he coached baseball and basketball at Morgan High School in Utah for 20 years. Early life

He began his minor league career that year with the Class C Visalia Redlegs of the California League. <mask> struggled with control, prompting Visalia manager Dave Bristol to phone the Redlegs' front office and ask, "Do I really have to pitch this guy that often? They're gonna run me out of town."The front office told him to keep it up, believing the solution to <mask>'s control problems was

He spent the whole year with Visalia but did not stick in the starting rotation, only starting seven of his 21 games. 75 walks in 54 innings pitched contributed to a 2–5 record and an earned run average (ERA) of 9.00. Next season, <mask> remained with Visalia. Once again, he had more walks (185) than innings pitched (150), and his record was 4–14. However, he lowered his ERA to 6.66 and struck out 160 batters. Sometime in 1959, he married Carol Nelson; later, the couple had their marriage solemnized at the Salt Lake Temple.The repeated use began to pay off with the Columbia Reds of the Class A South Atlantic League in 1960. <mask> shoved his walk total down to 134, even as his innings pitched rose to 211, in 30 starts. He spent the whole year in Columbia's rotation, winning 16 games (to only six losses) and striking out 221. This earned him a spot at spring training for the Reds in 1961. Despite his improvement, <mask> was not expected to make the Reds' roster in 1961. Fred Hutchinson, the manager, did not even bother to mention <mask> in a pre-season news release where he discussed rookies to watch. However, <mask>'s improved control helped him win a spot in the Reds' starting rotation.His first game actually was not a start, but a relief outing in which he filled in for Reds' ace Jim O'Toole, in a 5–3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on April 16. Three days later, he made his first start and got his first career win, giving up two runs (one earned) in eight innings in a 4–2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. On May 23, despite allowing five hits and six walks in  innings, he held the Los Angeles Dodgers scoreless, beating Don Drysdale in a 2–0 victory. <mask> got off to a fast start, sporting an 8–3

However, after that, he struggled to a 1–7 record and a 6.27 ERA over the rest of the season (though he only walked 22 in  innings over that time). He started only one game after August 5 as the Reds went to a four-man rotation down the stretch. Despite his late fade, <mask> won The Sporting News Rookie Pitcher of the Year Award after going 9–10 with 75 strikeouts in 136⅓ innings of work.The Reds surprised experts (Sports Illustrated said they had 25–1 odds of winning the pennant before the season) by finishing in first place in the National League, earning a trip to the World Series against the New York Yankees. Not needed as a starter, <mask> made only one appearance, striking out one and walking one in the ninth inning of the fifth and final game, a blowout 13–5 loss. <mask> was mentioned in Sports Illustrated's preview of the 1962 Reds as a backup for the Big Three starters of Joey Jay, O'Toole, and Bob Purkey. However, he did not pitch for the Reds that year. In fact, he never pitched in the major leagues again. <mask> did throw in the minor leagues, pitching 16 games (14 starts) between the Reds' Class A affiliate (now the Macon Peaches) and the San Diego Padres of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League. He had a 2–8 record between those teams, with a 7.67 ERA, and his control problems returned, as he walked 80 in 61 innings.Strangely, he gave up fewer earned runs per game at San Diego (3.46 ERA) than at Macon (10.80 ERA). In 1963, <mask> again split the season between Macon (now a Class AA affiliate) and San Diego, though he only pitched two games for the Padres.

<mask> (; born August 2, 1931) is an American journalist, investigative reporter, author, and teacher. Aynesworth has been reported to have witnessed the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza, the capture and arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald at the Texas Theater, and the shooting of Oswald by Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters.
