The viking Ship.

The New Yorker who failed to see the
Viking during the few days that the gal
liant little vessel was lying or cruising in
the waters Of the harbor missed sight
that it would be almost worth while to 20
TO Chicago to see To those with fair
Idea Of what good bodybuilding requires
the lines Of the Viking are said TO have
been very satisfactory, and the soundness
of their Judgment is established by the
achievement of the vessel in crossing the
Atlantic against unfavorable winds, sound
snd safe as an ocean going steamer But
even to one with no claims to expert knowl-
edge the vessel is very beautiful 1t is easy
to see in her the justification of her chief

But what impresses the ordinary observer
is the courage of their conviction shown by
the crew Of dozen modern Norsemen,
who, persuaded that the original on which
the Viking was modelled was seaworthy,
and that what their ancestors had done
they could do, took this littleN vessel, with
out deck. with broad oar for rudder,
with g single mast and sail, with no room
aboard to swing a hammock, and barely
sufficient to store the needed supplies. and
sailed her over the course that they be
lieved the ancient Norsemen had sailed with
a like craft centuries before the discovery
which all the world is celebrating at Chi

A noticeable feature Of the anglomania
which prevails in New York is the employ
ment of cockney attendants by some Of the
prominent clubs They have managed to
surround the admission Of an unintroduced
stranger to the club precincts with an
amount of ceremony that would suffice for
the vestibule of the grand llama. A gen.
tleman from Philadelphia called to sec a
friend who is member of one of the up
town establishments.
"Is Mr.. +. in?" he asked of the brass
buttonetl funky who sat in an deliberately
upholstered armchair near the doorway.

card and give it to Mr.. +. when you see
him?"

A Stradivarius violin was sold the other
day for esso, that being the highest price
yet secured for fiddle in the auction room.
This fact has caused some inquiry to be
made into the rapid rise in the value Of the
violins of the great Cremona maker, whose
workshop Mr.. Edgar Bundy has so graph
ically depicted in a painting in the Royal
Academy exhibition. II seems that a fine
'Strad" was sold In 1905 for e100, but by
1857, when the late James Goding's collec-
ton was brought to the hammer at Chris
ties, a Stradisarius violin fetched f9O0, and
a viola blythe same maker f2l2.
In 1872 a ''Strad,' since rechristened by
its fortunate owner ''The Emperor real
ize,i e2s0 at the sale of the collection of Mr.
elliott. the penmaker, and it would prob
ably not now be parted with for four times
that amount. The auction price of a
''Strad' has since reached ESQ, and it is
quite possible that before the present CEN
tury is over the sum will pass into four fig
ures. while the price at the fiddle fancier's
is already good deal higher.
1t seems that the increase Of cost is due
partly to the demand for old violins from
the United States, partly to the wish Of
every violinist of note to possess at least
one example of the famous maker. DR..
Joachim, for instance, has three.-London
