Mr.. John Nicholas Brown of ProVi-
dence. who is listed among the world <
most opulent bachelors. has recently
proyed his devotion to his old prepara-
tory school. St. Georges. at Newport,
bv contributing a million dollars to
build a fine Gothic chapel. finished
during the past Summer. Dedicated
to .the warrior saint OF England, the
actual presentation of the chapel TO
the school will take place on st.

Astor has recently given fine scho.
lastic building to ST. Georges called
Diman Hall, a memorial building TO
the alumni, especially those who Tell
in the World War. Diman Hall is an
assemb,age chamber. with recreational
purposes combined. and this too, is
Gothic and built of the light gray
granite which looks particularly well
against the background of the sea.
Mr. Carl G. Fisher, the architect
and engineer who was given charge
of the development of Montauk Point,
Long Island. appears to lend every
hope to the ambition of those who had
in view the making of Fort Pond Bay
a port for transatlantic steamships.
Montauk Point, which had a national
interest during the Spanish h-American
taken there to recuperate from the
fevers contracted in the tropics, draws
371a feet of water just off the Yacht
Club harbor, and because it shortens
the distance and saves the congestion
of the approaches to the wharveS in
New York City proper and contiguous
piers in New Jersey, all the great
steamship companies are clamorlng
for space when this vast engineering
feat has been accomplished. Montauk
is just three hours by rail to the Penn
sylvania Station, and the traveller in
hurry will save much time in the
comparative ease of the ships in max
ing a landing. There will be lost,
however, the majestic approach to
New York, a sight worth the ocean
trip, in the opinion of many. but those
who make the voyage often are salts
fed to sacrifice the scene to the saving
Of time. On Long Island opinion is
divided against introducing busy
ocean port into the rural surround
ings SO much priced. But the pro-
moters of Montauk Point have no SEN
timental theories. They see in this de-
velopment the opening of a section Of
the island which will yield a golden
harvest for all concerned.
Mr.. Cecil Sharp, who was. for three
years previous to his death a few
months ago, president of the English
Folk Dance Society, has left many de-
voted disciples who are continuing
his work in the study of the Appala-
chan dances of the mountaineers, who
are descendants of the sturdy British
pioneers of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries Many have
always contended the mountain
whites presented fascinating phases
for study in the cultural sense,
and Mr.. Sharp had found dances
well known in sylvan England
during the crusading days still
fiourishing in remote villages of the
Carolinas and Georgia. Besides the
dances and music on the accordion or
violin by which they were accompa-
MED, this jealous searcher after re-
mote truths carried back to England
after a years stay in this country
more than 5000 songs and these had
been transcribed and are to be placed
among the records of this Folk Dance
Society's new home in Regent Park,
London. Every November a weeks
festival Of old songs and dances is
given In the Royal Albert Hall to raise
funds for this unique organization and
King George and his consort and
Nlr~., 80
lies and practically all the great
world of London will be in attendance.
AS the music and dances collected in
the Appalachian chain are to be pro-
duced for the first time at this festival
beginning November 26, the Ameri.
can Ambassador and Mrs. Houghton
and all OF the embassy staff will be
present when this part of the pro-
gram is reached.
