gan, who still lives within the walls
of the building in spirit and whose
benefactions in the forms of gifts
loans and influence are as vital today
as they were before his death. There
is scarcely gallery in the whole of
the many-chambered structure that
does not bear evidence of his gen.
erosity and his catholicity of taste.
From the entrance hall, with its
Don Quixote tapestries that are reput-
ed to have cost the late tinancier
$4,000, through the classical, Egyp.
tian, Decorative Art, Painting and
Sculpture and Ceramic departments
everywhere one sees the name Of J.
Pierpont Morgan affixed to object
after object either as donor or a
lender of all these precious things.
And in the storage vaults of the mu-
scum there is hanged case after case,
containing all of his Egyptian treas
ures save the 80 paintings now on
view, that are to be shown next jan
uacy in the new north wing that is
! to be devoted to exhibiting these Nor
gan treasures and nothing else.
Many Priceless Loans.
In itself this collection that is yet
to be seen is the greatest group of
art objects ever brought together by
one man in the world. Its estimated
value of $75,000,000 does not include
many things that Mr.. Morgan had
| 30 hn ho
fore his death. Chief Of these is the
! Garland Morgan collection of Chinese
porcelains that has no peer anywhere
in the world. Mr.. Morgan paid $780,
900 for the Garland collection alone,

from his private collection, until to-
day the objects in that one room are
worth at least $1,500,000 Then there
is the Mazarin tapestry, "The King
dom of Heaven" for which Mr.. Nor
| gan is reported to have paid $500,000
and which is regarded by all authori-
ties on textiles as the finest piece of
tapestry in the world. The Hoent-
schel collection of Gothic and French
Renaissance furniture and decorations
cost $1,250,000, and of these he pre-
sented the Gothic portion outright to
the museum.
Although it is not so snowy as some
of the collections of paintings, this
department of the museum is its
greatest single feature from the view
point of educational value. In the
place where the Mazarin tapestry and
the Hoentschel collection are shown
together with the Morgan Nero
vingian collection from the seventh
century--is the splendid gift of Mrs
Russell Sage, the famous Bolles col
lection of Colonial furniture.
Though we speak Of monetary value
of these collections and objects in
definite terms, they are the valuations
placed on them at the time they were
presented to the museum or acquired
by it through purchase. Consequent
ly those figures give little idea of the
present value of the collections, owing
to the fact that within the last quar-
ter of century the intrinsic value ot
all art objects has advanced in an
extraordinary way.

W0 HE Metropolitan Museum of
Art is the greatest treasure
house in the western world. If
it were not such an orderly es-
tablishment it might be COM
pared to an Aladdin's cave, magnitied
a thousand times, for on its walls, III
its cabinets and in its tireproof bur
glar-proof storage vaults are art OBJ
jects worth $150,000,000, exclusive of
its financial resources of upward Of
$10,000,O00. II holds individual works
of art that are the finest things or
their kind in the world; it has collec-
tions that have no peers in the great
galleries OF Europe. 1t is only AZ
years since it was organized, and in
that half the span of its honorary
presidents life it has grown from an
idea to the greatest marvel in the his
tory of art museums in the world.
And it never has been able to exhibit
anything like all the art objects in its
possession.
Long Called an Art Pirate.
1t is only for the reason that 1t IS
such a polite institution that one re-
frains from calling the museum kind
of gorgeous pirates lair. filled with
such treasures, magnified a thousand
fold, as the Kidds and Morgans of the
Spanish Main were wont to gather iC
as loot from the galleons and cities
they sacked.
Indeed, ever since the Metropolitan
museum trustees made their second
purchase of collection as whole in
1872, when they took the Cesnola
antiques away from the British mu-
scum, our greatest art institution has
been looked upon in Europe as an art
pirate ranging the seas of that partic-
ular world and picking up every avail
able treasure that showed its sail
above the horizon. What Disraeli
could not induce the British nation
to do-to keep the Colonna Madonna
through its purchase-J. Pierpont
Morgan was able to accomplish and
bring 1t to New York. The museum
however, is the most honest pirate S
lair that ever was.
When the museum was first organ
ized, in 1871, the officers and trus
tees started out to raise S250,000. and
the first collection they bought was
one of 175 paintings Of European
schools. for which they paid $116,
1S027. At the present time there are
two single objects in the museum that
cost $50O000 each, and the institu
tion has only recently been presented
with the Benjamin Altman collection
of rs paintings that are valued a
sL5OO000O.
That comparison serves to indicate
The spirit with which the museum II
regarded nowadays as compared t.
the era of it's beginning, when its frs
important aCquisitiOn-the Cesnolt
collection of Cypriote antiques-caus
cd the most acrimonious art battle
that this country ever has known, ant
when the museum seemed to hav
more enemies than friends. Now
seems to have nothing but friends
whose Iiberality surpasses that of an.
of the great prodigals of history o
fiction.
The leader of these friends of tn
museum is the late J. Plerpont MOI

Fine Work on Billiard Cues.

Billiard cues are made of ash, with
usually lighter wood at the handle.
A good cue should balance if a mans
finger be placed under the middle of
it. and as it tapers the butt must be
of lighter wood than the shaft. But
there is vast amount of Individual
ity in cues. The making of leather
billiard cue tips has been an industry
of a particular class of French peas
ants time out of mind.

DARTMOUTH AND PENN TEAMS MAY
 PLAY IN BOSTON


 According to reports from. both Philadelphia and Hanover, the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and Dart mouth will meet on the gridiron next fall in Boston. Negotiatfons between the two colleges have been underway for some time, and as Hanover is not situated so that a. large attendance at the game could be assured some larger place has been suggested. The teams met at Franklin field, Phf1adel- phfas last fall and a return game in the territory of the Green was deemed necessary for the coming year.
 Boston seemed a good solution to the question The trip from Philadelphia Is not difficult, and many followers of the Red and Blue would be willing to Eosto the Hub without question: STne New England capital is near enough to Dartmouth to allow a large delega. ion to attend the game from the New Hampshire college,s and in Boston, a city that takes great interest in foot ball, there are many Dartn outh grad Eafes

 The period of the Dempsey- Fitz- simmons fight was the most memor- able in the history of the middle weight division. Before Dempsey's time, Mike Donovan had been the big man among the middIeweights, a1- though he had been held to draw in a terrific ninety-six round battle staged in California, by Billy McClen- nan. Dempsey was the first man to hold a belt enblematic of the middle weight championship of the world un- der Queensberry rules. Other great idd1eweighfs Of that golden age of pugilism included Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, Jim Hall, Dan Creedon and George Gardner, any one of whom could probably whip the best of the present white hope" heavywefghts. Kid Mccoy came lafer-and what the Hoosier, in his prime, could have done to such men as the white heavyweights of today would have been a crime.
 Before the Fitz-Dempsey battle Jack was a heavy favorite, but at the ringside the odds favored F'ftz. Scores of California sports, with rolls big enough to choke elephants. assembled in the Crescent City and by their heavy betting they made Fitz the favorife. Tuberculosis had already commenced to get in it's work on Dempsey, and he was wholly outclass- ed. In vain Bob begged the game Irishman to quit, but Dempsey didn't know the meaning of the word. In the thirteenth round Dempsey went down and out, and the middleweight crown became the property of Bob F1tz.

ONCE RICH FIGHTER
 NOW SWEEPING STREETS

Bob Thompson. little less than 8 score of years ago considered one of the best boxers in the ring, Is but an other illustration of too much money coming too fast, Thompson is now cleaning streets in Los Angeles.
 Thompson earned s100,0o0 in the squared arena Now, at the age of 52 he has nothing but a good, clean record left of his career. With the possible exception of sam Langford he was the most popuTargnegross boxer Of his tiIne.
 While he was never a champion, it took a champion to beat him. He met most Of the good light weights and weIter weights of his day and was one of the only, two men who ever beat Jack Johnson. The other was Joe Choynski He fought 1S0 times, experienced defeat eight times and boxed seven draws. Thompson also stopped Young Peter Jackson 1ii seven rounds.
 Old Bob, as he is now called. how ever is optimistic about his losses. He knows they were the results of his own folly but ooes not allow it to prey on his nina. but cheerfully pushes his big broom up the gutters day after day, thankful that he can earn an honest diving.

BOXERS SHOULD
 WEIGH IN PRIVATE
(By IT. s. Andrews.J

The boxing commission of New fork state has decided that here after all weighing of boxers will be done in a private room to which only their managers and the comni ssioner shall have access. This is the result of some boxers in New York protest ing asyainst public weighing, the same as Packey Mcfarland, did in Milwau- kee when he fought Jack Britton re- scently-
 There is no reason why the boxers should be, compelled te weigh before lot of curious people unless they should want to do so of their own free will As long as they make weight to the satisfaction Of their opponents and the members of the commission. there is no reason why they should be asked to go further. It would not he bad idea for the Wisconsin Box ing Commission and also those in Montana, Colorado and other places to adopt the same plan.

GIANTS AND SOX
 IN SOUTH AMERICA
Plan New Invasion at Close of
 1914 Baseball Season.

Bans, Brisbane. Aus.-s Ian.z 3-5Hav- ing had a taste of world touring, the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants are beginning to look for other worlds to- conquer. If plans do not go awry it will be a trip to South Ameri- ca next winter.
 This will include Argentina and Bra gil, with possibly some of the Central American republics, either going or returning. It would be right in line with the spring training, as the teams would come right up from the south and scatter to the different places in Texas, California and other southern states.
 President Comiskey of the White Sox and Manager McGraw of the Giants have talked it over all through the journey, and>>as both are enthusi- astic about it, the chances are that 1t will go through.
 They are not going to stop at South America, however. The plans are al ready laid for the following year, and Africa is the point looked forward to in the fall of 1915. Johannesburg of fered the two teams $5,00o this trip if they would stop there. This was found to be impossible.
 Conliskey. Callahan and McGraw are more fully convinced than ever that baseball will be the international sport in short time, and all want the hon. or of introducing the game in every land.
