st. George and the Dragon" for
Si,OOO-Other Prices Paid.

Great interest was taken last night in
the sale Of lightweight paintings from the
collection of the late Captain Joseph r..
De Lamar, OF this city, and few which
were the property Of his daughter. Miss
Alice A. De Lamar. The sale was con-
Quoted by Thomas e. Kirby, of the Amer
lean Art Association, in the ballroom OF
the Plaza Hotel. Several of the best Amer
ican and foreign artists of the nineteenth
century were represented by their works.
The sale amounted to $54435.
The top price OF the sale was '$3, 500,
paid ty B. w. Rouss after spirited bidding
by connoisseurs and dealers, for the pict-
ure Incoming Tide" by Jean G. Vibert
The second best price was S3,700, given by
C. NJ. Mcmillan for Thomas Morans s
Dream of the Orient" The third high
price, $500, was given by H. H. Parke,
agent, for Loves Message" by l.. Alma
Tadenna H C. Fairchild paid $4,000 for
Moorish Sheik, by Adolf Schreycr, and
H. Young gave S2,250 for The Cleaners,
by Jules Breton.
Several paintings that went for more
than 81 200 were considered by experts to
be less attractive than No. "A, Legend OF
ST. George and the Dragon" by Sir Ed
ward Burnes-Jones, which was bought by
II. II. Mccormick for $1,000, after the bid
ding had climbed slowly from 500. Mr..
Mccormick was regarded as having OBJ
tanned a bargain, as other bidders had de-
sisted, expecting high bids. The picture
was first shown at the International Ex-
position in Munich in 1897, at the Winter
Exhibition, London, England, 1898, and in
Charles II. Yerkes' collection in 1870
Other paintings which brought more than
5000, the artists, the buyers and the prices
