PICTURES AND PEWTER.
Two Collections To Be Sold at Auction
This Week.

There is on exhibition at the. Fifth Ave
nue. Art Galleries collection of thirty
one paintings belonging to NJ. Frederic
de Mele of Paris. French names are
chiefly to be noted in the catalogue, the
names of divers of those eighteenth CEN
tury masters whose courtly work has re-
Gently become increasingly popular in this
country. Boucher, Pater. Natter, Lam
cret, Greuze and Vigee lie Brun are all
represented in the list. There is also
large portrait, THE Marquis d'Ossun.' at
tributed to Drouais. one of those innumer-
able examples of more or less stately ele-
gance which survive in many a private
house or public gallery in France. Fem
mime portraits. however, are most con-
spicuous upon this occasion, portraits of
the graceful and decorative character
which, whether of French origin or of the
eighteenth century English school, have
for some years had a great vogue here.
Perhaps the best of all these pieces is the
Madame Adelaide of France. Diana.
given to Natter, a suave and pleasing
canvas. There are two or three llustra-
tions of the fashionable outdoor life which
the French artists OF this period were
wont to portray, and there also a few
modern pictures. The collection is TO be
dispersed al auction next Friday evening
In the same galleries there may be
seen Just now some five or six hundred
pieces of old pewter. belonging to Mrs
Johnson Brown which are to be sold next
Thursday Friday and Saturday after
Moons This is collection of deep inter
est, which amateurs OF the humble but
attractive metal cannot afford TO miss. 1t
embraces British and Continental exam
pies, and these appear in great variety
of forms. Serving as a background, so to
say, there is a notable array of old plat
ters, and then the art of the pewterer Is
illustrated in cups and candlesticks, cream
Jugs and coffee pots, tankards and CAMS
ters. chalices and spoons. salt cellars and
bowls beakers, measures, trays, cruets
and ink wells. The bulk Of the work is
marked, of course, by that homely sim
plicity which is so familiar and so delight
fuI to the collector Of pewter. but there
Is plenty here. too, of that dainty crafts
manship which has also been wreaked
upon the metal Look. for example, at the
old French sugar bowl NO. 1911. with its
rarlanded decoration. This is typical OF
much that appears in the show. Decidedly
the amateur has in this instance precious
opportunity.

by the resignation of Mrs. Augusta Stet-
son, Charles Dean: for treasurer. Mr.
Bailey; clerk. Mr.. Probst. and superintend-
ent of the Sunday school, Maurice G..
Kains.
After the resolution was adopted It was
decided that Richard p. Verrall should
make the nominations at the annual meet
ing, and then the signatures to the NOM
nations of all present were taken. These
candidates for trustee were put forward in
anticipation of The present board renom-
mating those whose terms expire, the meet
ing being I'm favor of rotation in office.
A report Of the committee which was ap-
pointed to examine the books of the church
was read 1t showed that Hayne Davis,
suspended practitioner, who, as lawyer.
had counselled the trustees In their opposi-
tion to the board of directors of the Mother
Cnurcn. ndO received SoOU lOT his SeINiCeS,
and that the clerk, DR.. Crowell. had been
paid $3.50 for his work I'm the same cause.
The total expenses of the fight had been
$4,000, of which, in addition TO the forego-
ing. $500 had been expended for expert ac-
ccuntants and $1,000 for stenographers.
Several members of the church who had
aided the trustees received 500.
In the enthusiasm of the meeting mo-
ton to ask all of the trustees on the board
whose terms do not expire to resign was
passed, but IL was later reconsidered, as
the one friendly trustee on the board the
members of the church who are supporting
the first reader, Virgil o. Strickler, in his
opposition to the Stetsonites, will be in
control.
The cost of the examination of the books,
made at the instance of committee which
favored Mr.. Stricker, who in turn was
supported by the directors of the Mother
Church, was about 1900. 1t was said that
the bill for this amount was presented TO
the trustees for payment. but was turned
down. One of the trustees was reported to
have said that the committee had "a
nerve" to ask the board to pay the bill,
but this course was defended by the spokes-
man of the committee last night, who said
that the investigation was made in the in
terests of the whole church.
