$4,000 at Auction Sale

Standing on a walnut table in the
stately main hall of White Eagle, the
Alfred I. du Pont mansion. at Roslyn.
L. l.. Arthur c. Sheridan, auctoneer.
yesterday sold the house and the $50
acres Of beautiful country surroundings
to the highest bidder for s470.000. The
ostensible buyer was David 7. Layman,
Jr.. who, according to Mr.. Sheridan, rep
resented Howard c. Phipps of Westbury.
The knockdown price was regarded by
those present as an amazing bargain.
inasmuch as the value OF the property
had been placed by the auctioneer at
1900 900. Only q short while ago II
was whispered Mr.. du Pont received an
offer Of ss50.o00.
The main hall was thronged by sew
eral hundred persons. many OF them
prominent society folk. There were but
a few bidders. however. The first offer
was only 500. 1000, but the auctioneer re-
fused TO take this seriously and the next
bid OF 100000 was made by Edmund
Randolph. From that point on the price
rose through a series Of about bids TO
the sum finally obtained. Charles Steele

Among those who attended the sale
we're Paul d. Cravath. Frank L. Crocker,
Whitney Kernochan, F. r. Appleton. Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Z. Davis and Beekman
Winthrop.
In several respects the auction was
one OF the most remarkable ever held.
The value OF the estate to begin with
placed Il outside OF the class OF prop
erty usually sold under the hammer.
II is estimated that only a dozen buy
ers in the United States could afford TO
take over and maintain property OF
this kind. The estate was assembled
by Mr.. du Pont for his second wife.
Alicia du Pont, who died few days
before the property was finished. Mr..
du Pont never occupied the house.
The mansion Is Of the Georgian type
and was designed by Carrere & Hast
inEs. The furnishings were supplied by
Charles OF London, who made an ex-
tensive trip through England to collect
the rare antiques and ancestral treas
ures which now adorn the interior OF
the house. There is a private golf

Mr. Elliman, who presented Mrs.
