WESTMINSTER ABBEY'S
OLD STORE NO MORE
New YOrk's oldest Curiosity
Shop Under Auctioneer's
Hammer.

That collection Of almost everything
IN the Westminster Abbey store at 81
Front street. started about eighty-ave
years ago, went under the a~uctioneer's
hammer yesterday. Most OF It went for
a song, too, as the saying is. because
much OF II could be OF no use whatever
In these days. For years the present
Mr.. Abbey and his father used to relieve
the United States Government OF the
things that the army and navy heads de-
cided were not wanted any longer, and
Mr.. Abbey and his father found that
very few people outside of the army and
navy wanted them. So they kept them
and never took the trouble TO pay any
attention to tenn once they had been
s'owed away in that dark and mouldy
building
As one wandered from noor TO floor

ne almost expected to see Capt. Cutie
come swinging along with some relic OF
his time carefully caught in his hook or
young Mr.. Midshipman Easy turning
over fondly the rusty seNtants and quad
rants and marine glasses. For h
things with which they and their kind
had TO do were most numerous there.
Mr.. Abbey sat in the little office yes
terday and smoked his pipe in silence.
The best OF his collection was about him
there rifles that were carried by men
In blue and bun. huge fiintlock pistols,
pinire pistols that found their way to
America when the French were trying
to hold Canada, swords that were drawn
IN the Mexican war, leg irons that may

poor black man as he suffocated under
the matches Of the last Of the slave

through which some captain scanned the
horizon for pirate craft. ugly cutlasses,
compassos, compass %adjusters. tele-
scopes, ship bells. barometers, logs, ship
clocks, ship models in glass cases, jews
harps, anchors, many, many more things
that men took with them when they put
to sea.
At the start J. II. Mayors. the auc-
t!oneer. said he would offer the whole
collection In bulk. Somebody shouted
that he would give 5000, but Mr.. Mayors
scorned the offer and said he would take
nothing less than $4,000 to start with.
No one said anything and he proceeded
TO auction the stuff on by lot. The
twelfth lot. which consisted of a ships
bell, a ships log, several rusty and anti.
quated lamps. an old Jaw and other
things, went for 81. and the next, con.
