ART EXHIBITIONS
old Brasses from China and
India on View.

Old brasses Of China and India' belong
ing TO the Meyer collection, have peen
placed on view at the Tiffany STUDIOS, ara
will remain for fortnight. The Visitor
will find much to interest him IL these an
cient rnementos OF the religious and the
record keeping instincts of these Asfatics
and of their natural gift of expression In
the working of metal This collection tes-
titles TO the high development OF the at
OF alloying copper with the baser Or oiue"-
err the precious metals, in the cen'uiie'
corresponding to the mediaval periou ="
Europe and to the early Renaissance Inc
quality Of these alloys is such tnat inc
viaor and character Of the designs INTO
which Il is cast count at their full value.
The surfaces have lustrous depth ana
beauty, and the pieces possess dignity
and an appeal that are decidedly allurng'
Many OF the old Chinese brasses are OF
the sort that were used as payments OF
tribute by feudal princes 10 the Emperor
in the early days. Both in these ana IN
the examples from India ore finds the
forms Of gods and animals, executed with
the utmost variety, and yet with the guio-
ing hand of tradition evident In their ar
rangement and detail.
In the Chinese group there are five Ming
dynasty vases OF considerable size ana
distinction, which look the part they ara
said probably TO have played, as ornaments
upon the imperial altar They are also
stated to have been among the objects
taken as loot from Peking at the time or
the Chinese-Japanese war. and stored in a
temple in Japan, whose priest afterward
sold them However this may be, the
vases themselves are Of aristocratic aspect !
This quality is seen again in the admirable
decoration Of a fourteenth century brass
censer, with handle formed by dragon's
head. The old masters OF Chinese art were
as supremely competent in their way as
were their European contemporaries. Bowlss
Jars and lamps OF Chinese origin are here.,
and the collection also contains some hand"
some specimens OF, embroidery.
In the pieces from India, one notes at
| once the heightened feeling for the purely
| decorative qualities, for the enriching OF
surfaces by elaborate craving and for
regularity Of shape. The mer. who cons
| trived these old vessels must have had
about them, one feels, something of the
| adept, the Yirtuoso. Here are miniature
models OF temples. used for ,votive Offer
| ings; here are trays for househould pur-
| poses; charity jars" into which aims
were thrown 10 holy beggars; sacred lotass
| in which water from a sacred river was
| carried 10 the dying. II is curiously In
| teresting assortment.

LINCOLN BEACHEY IS
STAGED AS WOMAN
Thrills Attend End of Aviation
Meeting.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The tipping
over and rescue of eight spectators
in a launch, the disabling of two
hydroaeroplanes far out in the lake
and the "pranks" of an aviator

Great crowds near Grant Park on
the lake front were startled to OBJ
serve what appeared to be a woman
diving in a biplane almost straight
down from an altitude of 5000 feet
and then, with her arms off the lev
ers and her skirts fluttering about
her face, flying as low as ten feet
over the heads of the spectators. To
make the scene more startling, the
woman" flew out of the course and
skinned up and down Michigan av-
enue, sending automobiles in all d.
rections to seek safety.
The woman" was Lincoln
Beachey, who disguised himself as
Mile. Charlse Lavateur" for the
purpose of creating new aerial
sensation for Chicago.
So excited We're eight spectators
in launch in the harbor that they
all gathered at one edge of the craft
and it tipped over. They were res
cued by a tug.
Beckwith Havens, while driving
a hydroaeroplane with Stanley
Twist as a passenger, had a punct-
ure in his pontoon. Both men were
picked up as they We're sinking.
Anthony Janus in a hydroaero-
plane had similar accident. His
machine had to be towed in.

ones may be placed at the disposal
