TRIBUTE TO SAINT GAUDENS
President Roosevelt Says Sculptor
VIII Take Rank with Great
Men of All Times.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-Portraying Au-
gust Saint Gaudens as a great sculptor
whose works will stand in the forefront
among the masterpieces of the greatest
periods and the Greatest peoples, President
Roosevelt tonight at an exhibition of Saint
Gaudens' works at the Corcoran gallery,
under the auspices of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, paid eulogium to that
ARTISTS mastery OF his craft. The British,
French and Brazilian ambassadors and
others made speeches and a large repre-
sentative gathering was present.
The president, in touching briefly on the
larger feats that made Saint Gaudens IA
nous, with a byword as to the varying
achievements in the fields of pure art,
literature and science in America, flecked
the original features of the sculptor's mag
NATIVE genius and flayed the critics who
found fault with the creations Of his art.
The president declared that all the. world
is Saint Gaudens' debtor.
The great nations of antiquity, Of the
middle ages and Of modern times" he said,
were and are great in each several case
no tonly because OF the collective achieve
ments of each people as a whole, but be-
cause of the sum ofathe achievements of
men OF special emlnence, and this whether
they excelled In warcrafts or statecraft,
as road makers or cathedral builders, as
nnen of art or of science. The field of
effort is almost. limItless- and pre-
eminent success in any part Of 1t shout be
especially priced by the nation to which
the man achieving the success ~belonssI r
Describing the gold coins whose recent
issuance by the government awakened a
clamor Of criticism. the president declared
Saint Gaudens gave us for the first time
a beautiful coinage, not yet properly APP
preciated, but up to which both the off
fetal and the popular mind will in the
end grow"
The president c~ontended that the first
few thousand of these coins are more
beautiful than any. coins since the days
of the Greeks and said the basis Of the
most criticism was nonsense"
He characterized Saint Gaudens' genius as
having that lofty insight which enabled
him to grasp close at hand in the present
the beauty and majesty which in most
mems eyes are dimmed until distance has
softened the harsh angles and blotted out
the trivial and the unlovely."
The president depicted Saint Gaudens'
statue of General William Tecumseh Sher-
man as extraordinary, a wonderful work
| Of art, though he had feared that folly
which puts Washington In a toga, or Louis
XIV, with his peruke in a Roman cor
selet."
Saint Gaudens. the pride of the Atelier
and Saint Gaudens, the depicter in marble
| and bronze of the life OF the American ma
ton, was given high tribute by NJ. JUS
serand, the French ambassador.

INDIAN DEFEATS ITALIAN
Tom LOngbOat Wins Marathon Race
in Madison Square Garden.

He Had Lead Most of the way
1t a Fast Pace ana Had
60 he Carried from
Track.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-As on the memoir
able occasion of his first olympiad. Do
rando Pietri collapsed within sight of the
goal tonight and T. L~ongboat, the Indian
runner who had been led by a yard or
more nearly all the way, won the Marathon
race at Madison Square Garden
The race was hard fought from start to
finish and kept the thousands Of spectators
in wild excitement. At twenty-five miles
Dorando was leading by two yards. A
moment before Longboat had made a re-
markable squirt and put himself on an even
footing with the little Italian. Dorando
Immediately regained first position and the
men were fighting It out in tho twenty
sixth mile with Dorapdo in the lead but
visibly weaker. The chances Of Longboat
appeared to improve in the second and
third laps. In the fourth lap while the
crowd was crying itself hoarse both men
slackened perceptIbly. Then suddenly Do
rando staggered and dropped. Longboat
finished alone. His time for the distance
of twentS six miles, $50 yards was 24 :O02s.
The time was 357B second slower than the
Marathon mark established by Dorando
when he defeated Hayes over the same
track three weeks ago. 1t was a gruelling
race for nearly twenty-five miles and. a
half, with the Italian generally In the lead,
but occasionally overhauler by a wonderful
spurt on the part of the Indian. Then men
started away at a brisk clip, Dorando at
once establishing a lead of neariy TWO
yards. ~I.ongboat had won the pole position
and pushed the other so hard in the first
lew minutes of the race, that at the end OF
the five miles the Dorando-Hayes record
for the distance had been beaten by nearly
a minute. Later the men slowed up and
for many miles they kept the same rela-
tive position in slower time. Then Long
boat spurted and repeated these tactics
until they had a plainly evident effect on
the Italian. Durando, nevertheless, held his
lead until the fourteenth mile, when Long
boat took the lead and increased his pace
a little. He finished the fourteen miles 1
minute 1874 seconds ahead of the Dorando-
Hayes record. Longboat's efforts proved to
be spasmodic and Dorando easily passed
him in the fifteenth mile.
Longboat showed signs of fatigue In
the seventeenth mile, but kept on
doggedly within striking distance Of the
Italian. In the twentieth mile Longboat
shot ahead and dropped. into a natural
lope which kept him in the lead for five
laps. The Dorando, amid wild cheers.
forged ahead. Again in the twenty-third
the Indian made a sensational sprint and
gained the lead. In the second lap of the
-twenty-fourth Dorando ~regained his ad-
vantage. Both men then moved more
slowly and showed weakness. In the be-
ginning of the twenty-sixth Longboat
sprinted and the Italian went to the
rear, In the middle of the mile and when
a quarter Of a lap behind Dorando fell
to the track and 1T was necessary to
pick him up and carry him to his dress
| ing room.

Royal Pool Tourney.

Reynolds lost the hardest fought battle
of his life last night to Harsch, 125 to lO6.
Both of the players were in fine form,
making one hard shot after another, and
both OF them playing a safe game, neither
taking any chances unless compelled to
do so. Twice Reynolds had Harsch up
against It with two scratches against HIM
each time, and compelled to take a chance
or forfeit fifteen more scratches, took the
chances, pulling off two of the most diff
cult shots during the tournament, which
brought the large crowd TO their feet. They
both made many high runs.
This afternoon Swanson and Reynolds will
play the second game at 3 o'clock. and this
evening at 1880 Harsch and Swanson will
battle for the honors. The last game will
certainly be another for blood. as II Is the
