ST., 900, 900 Disposed Of
at Auction for $257,563;
Large Pieces Unpopular

The great mosque carpet of Arbcdil
one of the most famous rugs in the
world, was purchased yesterday at the
De Lamar sale by Duveen Brothers for
$4,000.
1t is the counterpart of the Arbedil
mosque carpet in the South Kensington
Museum, London, woven by the same
artist in 1886. One Of the most sensa-
tlonal episodes in art circles centcred
around the sale of this rug in 1910, as
part of the Charles t. Yerkes collec-
tIon. 1t was then learned that the
hensington Museums rug was incom-
plete when first brought to England,
and was later secretly repaired. by
pieces cut from this companion rug,
which was sold TO Mr.. Yerkes on CON
oLtion that 1T be permanently removed
from England
The rug is only twenty-three feet
long, although originally it was thirty
tour feet. Captain De Lamar bought
it from the Yerkes collection in 1910
for $4,000, and it was included in the
valuabes which he bequeathed to his
daughter.
The sale Yesterday finished the
work of the auctioneer with the
llaS htlcent IurnlS hln~S OF the DE
Lamar mansion, which are estimated
to have cost more than $1,000 oO0
Huge and elaborate cabinets. deco
rated with bronze and marble figures,
carved mahogany and kingwood furni-
ture, life size marble statues, and
glowing carpets and draperies brought
high prices. 1t was noticeable. how
ever, that the largest and most
elaborate pieces were not popular A

of all his genius, without perhaps his
knowing it, he broke thrr UGH ag9iH
and again the papier-mache walls OF
his prlsonhouse.
Part SuI.ed to Caruso
The performance itself was, on the
whole. admirable. In EIeazur Mr..
Caruso mas found a part both dra-
mat,cally and vocaiiy extraordinarily
suited to him. In face, figure and
bearing he makes Q tia
lock an Interpretation which will re-
MAIN long IN the memory o. those VINO
saw it. Indeed, it is perhaps the hrst
time in his career when the great tenor
has succeeded in giving perfect YER
similitude to a tragic impersonation.
By it he has raised himself good
notch higher in artistic stature. And
he sang the music with a passion, yet
with a restraint, which revealed only
the more exquisitely his golden voice.
Miss Ponselle was appealing as
Rachel. and the luscious quality OF
her voice in the medium and the
lower registers was never more APP
parent. Sne, too, sang with ccmmenn-
able discretion. Mr.. Rothier made
of Cardinal Brogin figure OF rare dig
nifty, and he sang the music with pol
ished style. Mr. Chalmers was excel
lent in the part Of ltuggiero.
There were two debuts with the com
pany. Orvill Harold, long known to the
local operate world, has at last reached
the Metropolitan and as Leopold sang
and acted with splendid fervor. In die
ton and in style he seemed indeed as f
born In the French school. He will be
heard from later and in parts more
perfectly fitted to give his voice and
his art full play. The other debut was
made by Miss Evelyn Scotney who, as
the Princess, displayed voice of
ample power, if a little hard in timbre
and some skill in ford song. The or
chestra was directed by Artur b.
dansky, who performed his part with
his accustomed mastery.

BARRE's VICTORY ARCH.

The beauty Of the victory arch erected
in Barre to do honor to the soldiers and
sailors in the world war impresses one
more and more as the details of the de,
sign are studied OF course, the struc-
ture with all its symbolic figures is not
finished work; it could scarcely be
that when thrown together in ten days
time and out Of materials which do not
lend themselves completely to the artis-
tic. But it nevertheless does reach a
high state of attainment and is fitting
temporary reminder Of the part played
by Barre men in the war. Some of the
features stand out particularly for beau
ty of design and skin in execution and
would be worthy Of a lasting memorial
instead OF temporary creation. The
arch lends itself well to the purpose for
which it was erected and during the
period in which ii will be able to stand
the weathering will be a pleasing add-
tion to the beauty of the citys streets.

The federal railroad administration
was very prompt to assign the cause for
the New York Central passenger train
collision at Dunkirk, N. Y.--far more
prompt, in fact, than the private railroad
corporations were wont to be in placing
the blame for their accidents. Generally
the wrecks were thoroughly investigated
before any official statement was issued
concerning the cause. Yet in the Dun
kirk accident. only a few hours elapsed
before statement was made by officials
of the railroad administration at Wash
ington that the reason why following
train crashed into standing train was
probably due to the fact that tramp
passenger had shut off the flow of air
for the brakes on the following train so
that the train could not be brought to a
halt when the fagman's signal was seen.
1t was novel explanation albeit not an
impossible one. However, more com
plete investigation may bring out other
causes for the collision.
