New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1903-10-18

When a private view for members OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art is held, on Octo-
her 26 and recent additions to the collections
there are shown for the first time, the salient
oh .e,t of interest will be souvenir of antiquity
unequalled in any of the galleries of the world
This is an Etruscan chariot Of bronze, which
Viii be shown. practically intact, surrounded
by a dozen or more utensils of metal which
were found with it in an ancient tomb in Italy
about a year ago. These precious relics of a
bysone civilization are of unique value, having
q signifcance for archeologists which, in the
case of the chariot at least should make our
Museum more than ever fitting place of pill
pIimage for students from all over Europe. In
the past we have heard much thoughtless crIu-
Cism of the trustees of the Museum, who have
been blamed for playing too modest part in
.he auction room. the authors of these animad-
versions forgetting how narrow the resources Of
the institution have been. With the Rogers be-
quest a new regime of expenditure was inaugu-
rated, and among the several important pur-
chases which have since been made, the one of
the biga or chariot, which we illustrate to-day,
shows with peculiar point the advantages by
which we now to profit OF this superb
addition to the body Of Etruscan relics it is no
.xaggeration to say that the director of every
European museum would give his eyeteeth to
possess it.
1t came to light by the merest accident. Some
peasants were digging for the foundation of
farmhouse at the foot Of a hill called I'll Capt.
taco," beneath which the road from Monte
leone leads TO Norcia, the ancient Etrus-
can city of Nursia, about fourteen miles distant
from Viterbo. Their spades suddenly revealed
traces of n sepulchre, and though even these
humble excavators must have instantly antici-
pated an interesting find. since the uncovering
