Air. A very appears w iiao luuuneu uu field of the art of collecting without adorning It with rare \finds for he was a genuine collector. \Ills acquisitions.\ says Mr. W'eltenkampf, \were not based' on the facile persuasiveness of the ple- thoric pocket book. In fact he was apt to be ahead of the game, as when he was one of the first to collect Whistler's prints, or when he was picking up Daublgnys etchings on the quays of Paris at a couple of francs apiece.\ The friendly relations he was able to assume with artists In his years as a picture dealer also greatly aided him, and from the tips given to him by them and from the correspondence he maintained with some of the most celebrated among them re- sulted a moss of \association material,\ notes, clippings, drawings, &c, that gave a piquant value to many items. His books, therefore, nuke an appeal In several directions. There are books of great Interest to- - bibliophiles, such as Oroller's copy of Olcero; Sturt'B Book ( Common rrayer; a specimen of Clovls Eve's binding; the famous Hypnerotomachla Pollphl'l\ of the Al-dl- Press; an Aldus that was once owned by Oroller; and a book by Wyn-ky- n de Worde. There nre works from the libraries of royalties and presidents, some of them from Mount Vernon bear- ing the bookplate and adtoprnph of George Washington; and there are, nat- urally, many rare volumes that have a direct bearing on art. The bindings In- clude specimens of the work of Derome, F.oger Payne, Maloll, Cobden-Sanderso- Meunler, Louis Hague, Pagnant and others. The \Description of I the Villa of Strawberry Kill\ Is Horace Walpole's own copy, with his explanatory notes In addition. Mr. Avery also secured the first edition of the first work printed on Horace' Walpole's press the \Odes\ of Thomas Gray. Hale's \Golden was owned by Iraak Walton and has an Inscription by him upon tho title page. Washington lrvlng\s \His- tory of Sew Tork\ was a presentation copy to Mrs. Thomas Moore ; and' the \Fleur du Mai\ hns the addition of two letters from Baudelaire, two from Champfleury, and one from Bracque-mon- d, who made ornamental drawings for the book. The Whistler items have characteri- stic vivacity. One Is an original draw- ing dedicated to Mr. Avery. Another lr a copy of the rare Paris edition of the \Gentle Art of Making Enemies,\ with two letters of Whistler's to Theo- dore Child and one from Child In re- buttal, for the Whistler letter Is par- ticularly scathing.

Itl the afternoon Mme. Helen Stanley gave a song rscltal which was an artistic success. Her lovely voice was generally used with uncom- - mon skill and In a varied list of selec t tlona she showed knowledge of style, a clenr diction- - and dramatto power with tender feeling. Included' In her list were three new songs entitled \Trlptjque by Hue, which she gave with an admirable understanding of mood. Wldor's \Con- templation1' was especially welt sung and was repeated. To her French group nhe added as an encore Debussy's \Beau Solr.\ - In the evening Ruth Bay, n Chicago violinist, a pupil of Auer, gave her first recital here. Miss Ray made her debut in her home city In 1904 at the age of ( years. Last night her performance made a distinctly pleasing Impression, In her chief numbers, the G minor sonata of Tartlni and Lalo's \Symphonic Espag-nolo- ,\ ahe disclosed an admirably schooled' violin technic and much taste. Her tone Is not large, and especially In rapid passages It lacks musical quality, but In Intonation It was always true. Her bowing was good and her rhythm adequate. Her playing was noteworthy for accuracy and her general style showed much ease and Intelligence, though there was some lack of breadth and brilliance. She Is evidently a serious young nrtlst and ought to go far In her' art BOW IS MADE HERE BY BEETHOVEN ASS'N Offers Greatest Company of Stars Ever Heard in Cham- ber Music in Now York. The youngest musical fraternity of this city made 'Its bow to the public at a concert given In Aeolian Hall last evening. The title of this body Is the Beethoven Association and Ita member- ship list challenges the eye with an Imposing array of eminent names. For his Is an assembly of musicians, banded together for the inspiring purpose of presenting the best in the field of their art with players and singers whom no manager could wisely undertake to bring forward In a single concert. But these stars give their services without price, and tho profits of their concerts will go ' to aid needy musicians. The members Include Frits Krelsler, Pablo Casals, Eugene Tsaye, Jacques Thtbaud, Harold Bauer, Osslp Gabrtlo-wltic- h, Rudolf Ganx, Fannie Bloomfleld Zelsler, Mlscha Elman, Olga Samaroft, the Flonzaley Quartet, the Letz quartet, L \O.d Uodo suy. Wl Inm M .eke, Louis Svecenskl, George Hamlin and John McCormack. Associate member- ship Includes the conductors of this city, Boston. Philadelphia and Chicago. Last evening's prog, ammo served to disclose some of the possibilities of tho new activity. The works were all from tho repertory of Beethoven. The In- strumental numbers were the B flat trio, played by Messrs. Bauer, Thlbaud and Wllleke.l the romance in F major by Mr. Thlbaud, and the E flat piano quartet by Messrs. Bauer, Thlbaud, Svecenskl and Wllleke (the last two being one-ha- lf of the grand old Knelsel Quartet.) The second and fourth num- bers were vocal, the air \My Heart Is Sore Within Me.\ from the Mount of Olives.\ and the cantata \Adelaide sung by John McCormack. Drawbacks of All Star Plan. When distinguished virtuosi come to- gether for the performance of cham- ber music the results are frequently dis- appointing, and at tlmeti distressing. Accustomed to being soloists, they for- get to merge their Individualities In the whole and a conflict of styles and es ensues. Only numerous rehearsals and the final dominance of one artistic Ideal can bring about the true ensemble. Hence there could be no profound as- tonishment because the trio last evening was not entirely happy. The technical delivery was good, but Mr. Bauer was t In his treatment of the piano part. \The outcome was a lack of bal- ance. In the slow movement, however, this almost disappeared, and' consequent- ly this movement was the most effective of the four. It was played In am extra- ordinarily beautiful manner. Mr. Thlbaud's playing of the romance was one of the most admirable achieve- ments he has put to his credit In New York. There was an unwonted depth of tone and feeling In It, while in finish It was exquisite. Possibly something of the mood of the previous number had been communicated' to Mr. Thlbaud's performance, for It was before the ro- mance that Mr. McCormack sang the \Mount of Olives\ air, Differences In McCormack. Jqhn McCormack making phono- graphic record music for Sunday night audiences In the Hippodrome and Mr. McCormack singing Beethoven for an audience of the inner brotherhood of music lovers In Aeolian Hall do not resemble one another greatly except In physical appearance and In perfect enunciation of text. The popular tenor's delivery of the great recitative air last evening was Inspiring m the breadth of Its style and the eloquence of Its paeslonato feel.ng. He was less ul with \Adelaide partly because the song Is less satisfactory in English than In German and partly because Its .sentiment is not wholly congenial to the nature of this singer. There were some empty seats In the hall. There- - should not be any at the next concert, Never before In the his- tory of chamber' music in this city has such a company of famous musicians been congregated; Star casta df far less Importance stretch the walls of the opera house. It Is probable that the presence of this new organization has not been yet sufficiently made known. Hnlclde In MonttOore Home. Dm David, SO, a patient at the Monteflore Home, Gun Hill road and Balnbrtdge avenue, The Bronx, stopped conversing with a group of patients on a fourth floor balcony yesterday, ran to the railing and leaped over.

CURB MERCHANTS STUNG Street Colorless Except for \Stews Who Wcro More Plentiful Than Ever. About the only thing that worrrled Broadway last night was that Will An- derson I and the .rest of the Anti-Saloo- n League did not see It celebrate election. I I It Is entirely likely that there were more stewed persons on the Great White Way between' 8 o'clock and midnight than there have been on any election night In years. There was1 one source of spec- ulation! Where did they get It? J The crowds were not vast The bulle- tin boards at Thirty-fift- h street and In Longacre Square did not, elicit great enthusiasm. To be sure, rival candl- - J dates had their partisans present. When a Bronx district showed its preference for Moran over La Guard la there were cheers. If a Manhattan constituency showed Its preference for Mr. La GUar-dl- a cries arose. But there was none of that old Jostle and bustle that .charac- terized election nights of bygone days. Fakirs sold or tried to sell flshhorns and germ ridden feather ticklers. Curb merchants sought to. dispense raise whiskers and boxes of confetti. Wor- ried looking Individuals assured you that you couldn't eclebrato the occasion with- out a ratchet rattle or a tlnpan clapper. But there was lacking everything except the chronic drunk who. he alone knows how, got good and stewed and fared forth to let Will Anderson and the rest of the world know that amendments were nothing In his sophisticated life. Here and there you encounter a per- son who blew army calls upon a cornet or a bugle. And ever)' few blocks or so you'd run across some one who'd poke a tickler Into your face or whirl a rattle beneath your nose. For the most part the perpetrators of these pleasantries looked, jlke people who might be ex-p- ted to do Just those things. AH, things considered It' was an utter failure' as an election night Theatres Are Crowded. The theatres were Jammed to the doors. They were the night before. It Is probable that they will be The cafes were turning folks away. There's nothing remarkable about that, these days of excess profits. In the same connection It may be said that the Broadway subway was crowded beyond all endurance. No, there was something sadly nwry with last night as an election celebra- tion. Early In the evening the crowds were sizable. Along Broadway and along One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street the cops were prepared for al- most anything. They were stationed four to the block along the curb. In the vicinity of bulletin boards they were kept fairly busy telling folks to keep moving or to stand Inside pre- scribed limits. But save for the Incurable souses who were oflt In Increased' force and having a gladsome evening of It nobody seemed to be really enjoying the evening very much. Along Broadway the restaurants were milking the best of It The Falals Iloi-l'- s caburrC was do ng Its best to mnke folks forget that liquor used to help a lot Tom Ilaly's show did a capacity business, and the Cafe de Paris, the Moulin Rouge, Murray's, Jim Church-Ill'- s, La Tabarln, the Club de Montmart and the Little Club wero crowded to their uttermosts. The big hotels were assur- ing all late comers that their cafes and restaurants were already overflowing, and taxlcabs were paying attention to no one who did not look like double fare and a 60 per cent t'.p. .Trytnsr to Have Good Time. To be brief, New York did Its.dog-gonde- st to have a good time. It is en- tirely probable that half the crowd abroad last night would not have drunk liquor had liquor been dispensed as freely as pf yore, but there was that feeling that some one. hod taken the Joy out of life. Even the Socialists found that there was nothing to get excited about The Socialists got together over on the East Side and up In East liar Jem ana pre- pared to celebrate the largest Socialist vote ever cast In New York city, 'iney rot together: that's about all. The Jewish Dallv Forward, over on East Broadway, had Bet up a bulletin board to record the epoch marking flgurea Incidentally, this bulletin board was the only one downtown. For the first time In a decade Park Row was arid of bul letin boards. A considerable crowd had gathered In front of City Hall, where usually a dally holds forth with movies and stereoptlcon for the benefit of down town election crowds. But not lost night Frozen BUI Douglass, the champion hot coffee drinker of the lower East Side, declared that It was he worst night he'd spent la years. \You don't expect much .most nights,\ said Bill, \but you always look for a little something election nights. Nevxt thing we guys will know la that they'll be declaring Christmas out of bounds and extendlag the Sullivan law to cover cigarettes.\ The East Broadway bulletin board crowds cheered every time they got a chance. When It was announced that CaUrln Coolldge, the. suppressor of the Boston police strike, had been reelected Governor of Massachusetts they hooted to their little hearts' content When It was announced that Mr, La Guardla looked to be a certain winner there was a healthy young riot for there were' quite a number of Italians present and blood proved to be thicker than politics. Mr. La Guardta's possible victory-cause- a lad named Welnsteln pain. He expressed his opinion of the Republican candidate In fulsome Socialistic measure Whereupon a swarthy Individual smok- ing a pipe equipped with a nlckelled cap and who wore corduroy trousers thrust the blade of a pocket Urtlfc Into Welnsteln's leg; Welnsteln made' a wild' outcry and was hustled to Gouverneur Hospital. The police couldn't find his assailant Welnstetn was not seriously hurt and the hospital authorities sent him home. CHEAPER EGGS PROMISED.

The first Bpllt, has occurred In the Theatre Guild, and It's all because of John Masefleld's drama, 'The Faith- ful,\ which that organization Is present- ing at the Garrlck Theatre. It's as much a matter of economics as of .art The break has come through the res- ignation from the Guild of Augustln Duncan and Rollo Peters, bath of whom nre directors In that body, and have prominent parts In the current produc- tion. Their resignations from the board of directors were confirmed by an ofll-cl- al of the Guild yesterday, and It was learned they were made as a protest against the adoption of a certain policy In connection with \The Faithful.\ This play of old Japan was produced by the Guild a month ago, exactly as written by Masefleld, and came In for some criticism because It was presented in Its entirety. Besides those who ob- jected that lack of cutting hurt the quality of the play, one of the backers of the Guild protested on the day after the opening against portions of tho dia- logue In which the rich were held up t core for their treatment of the poor. He pointed out that It was wealthy persons who had made, possible the ar- tistic successes of the Theatre Gullif and that such an attack on persons of fortune was unjustifiable, without Im proving the merits of the piece. After a couple of days of discussion a large number of the directors. It was reported, were In favor of dropping the obnoxious passages, i Rollo Peters, who was the director of the production and designed the stage settings, opposed this and registered his disapproval by re- signing. Austin Duncan followed suit. Lee Slmonson has taken Mr. Petera's place ns director. Most of the features that aroused a controversy have ' been '.lml: 1, though some remain, since It wns tld the directors believed It wns too near the end of the run of the play to per- mit of a thorough house cleaning 'of the dialogue, Mr. Duncan and Mr. Peters are still In the cast, though they aro no longer connected with the Guild, which has sought to combine, the stand- ards of art with those of the box office. When the play finlahes'lts run at tho Garrlck on November 21 Mr. Duncan will Join a Broadway dramatic produc- tion to be seen here around the begin- ning of next month. Mr. Peters, when hlsfengagement terminates on November 15, Is planning to go to Europe, and later Africa.

Edgar Stanton Maclay, historian, died In Washington Sunday while at work on material for an additional volume of his \History of the Navy of the United States.\ The third volume of his work, which appeared In 1901, aroused criticism .because of uncomplimentary references to tho conduct of Rear Ad mlral Schley at the battle of Santiago In the Spanish-America- n war, Mr, Maclay had been employed for somo years In the Navy Department while engaged In collecting his material from the official records. At the time tho third volume appeared he was a special clerk In the Drooklyn navy yard on civil service appointment President Roosevelt Ordered his summary dU missal. Mr, Maclay resigned under pro- test stating that his opinion of Rear Admiral Schley was based on no preju-- , dices, but had been drawn from the story given Ip olTlclal reports. Mr. Maclay was born at Foo Chow, China, In 18(3, the son of the Rev, Robert Samuel Maclay, a missionary ol the Methodist Church. He was edu- cated at Syracuse University, gradual lng In 11185, after which he spent some years In Europe studying foreign navKv and then returned to begin work on hli chosen literary task.
