THE NEW YORK HERALD. PARIS. SUNDAY. MARCH 8, 1914.
A 1’Hotel Drouot a Les Taxes sur 1’Automobile a Courses et The Season in Egypt e) From the K| v '
DES TOILETTES FEMININES
Les Elegantes, accourues en Nombre,
se Disputaient les Toilettes de
la Vente Buzenet.
La dernihre seance de la semaine, a
1’ Hotel Drouot, a ete aussi terne quc les
precedentes. A la salle 7, le prix maxi-
nmm de la journee lilt attaint par une
tapisserie de la Renaissance, verdure
avoe sujet de chasse, qui a ete adjugee
4.155fr. Quatre failteuils en ancienne
tapisserie an point ont fait 955h\, et
une suite de quatre dess us de portes,
d’apres Boucher, ont realise l,760fr. A
la salle 11, dans une vente de peintures
modernes, se trouvait un paysage par
Sisley, pour lequel on a donne 2,250fr.
A la salle 8, on vendait judiciairemelit
des costumes de femmes, des fourrures
et fournitures diverses provenant de la
maison Buzenet. Cette vacation avail
attire naturellement line assistance fe
minine enorme, qui s’entassait dans une
salle beaucoup trop petite. Tout s'est
tres bien vendu, et j’ai note un man-
teau garni de breitschwanz, adjuge 2,750
francs, et une robe garnie d’hermine,
que Ton a pouss^e a l,750fr. On a du
faire une vacation du soir, tout en re-
servant les dentelles, qui feront l’objet
d’une vente ulterieure.
Expositions d’Aujourd’hui.
Aujourd’hui, outre trois expositions
d’objet-s d’art et d’ameublement qui ne
promettent rien de sensationnel, <‘t une
exposition d’antiquites egyptiennes,
grecques et romaines, il v aura, a la
salle 6, une exposition de beaux bijoux
et d’un mobilier, le tout provenant de
la succession de la comtesse Bobrinskoy
y Lizardi.
DES AETISTES BRETONS
EXPOSENT LETJRS (ETJVRES.
Cette Reunion de Peintures et Sculp
tures inaugure la Galerie de la
Rue Roquepine.
On vient d’inaugurer unc nouvelle et
tres vaste galerie d’exposition, qui, par
ses dimensions et sa decoration, ainsi
que par son fid air age ingenieusement
agence, quand. il faut suppleer a la In-
miere du jour par la lumiere artificielle,
me semble appelee a un grand succes.
Cette galerie, que M. Gueraud vient
de faire construire, 4 rue Roquepine, a
ete gracieusement mise par lui a la dis
position d’un groupe d’artistes bretons,
en donnant a ses membres une oc
casion d’y montrer leurs oeuvres. Il y
a la des tableaux et des sculptures, mais
ce sent ces dernieres qui forment la par-
tie la plus belle de cette exposition.
J’y ai beaucoup admire trois oeuvres
de M. Jean Boucher, bronzes a cire per-*
due, dont Vun est une statuette de Fra
Angelico, represente debout sous sa
lourde robe de bure, inspire par sa foi
et par son art, tenant sa palette a la
main; o’est une oeuvre’remarquable. Il
y a aussi “La Chinoise,” composition
traitee dans le gout et le style cliinois,
et “Le Chemineau,” oeuvre empreinte
d’un beau realisme. Les sculptures de
M. Louis Dore sont fort belles. La
tete de rieuse en marbre rose est
une chose delicieiise de grace et de mo-
dele, ainsi que la tete de femme d’aspect
hieratique. “Priere Paiennc,” marbre
blanc. .et le buste d’une petite fille, par
M. Armel Beaufils, sont aussi a signaler
parmi les meilleurs.
Voici encore un remarquable portrait
du comte Bertrand d’Aramon, bronze a
cire perdue, au milieu d’autres oeuvres
de Al. Louis Nicot, et deux bronzes,
dignes d’etre remarques parmi d’autres,
de M. Pierre Lenoir; ce sont: “La Pe
tite Bretonne a la Fontaine” et “Au
Travail.” MM. Floi Robert, Francis
-Renaud, Emmanuel Guerin, Armand
Bourget exposent egalement.
Quant a la peinture, nous la voyons
representee d’abord par M. Eugene Cha-
pleau, president de la societe. qui a
point, a, la fresque une tres belle figure
allegorique, “L’Autonine,” et quelques
fins paysages. M. Maximo Manfra, un
invite, expose une belle marine, “Le
Port de Goulphar,” a, Belle-Isle, et un
paysage, “La Route ensoleiilee.”
Mile. Magdeleine A. Dayot, jeune ar
tiste d’un reel talent, a peint, avec un
sentiment tres juste de la decoration,
des pots de fleurs et une composition
savante : une madone sur un autel fieuri
en Espagne; M. Edmond JLesellier a ex
pose quelques bonnes toiles, notamment
“Les Barques” et “Les Pins” ; M. Andre
Herviault, un interessant portrait d’abbe
et des paysages.
Une serie d’aquarelles, scenes de la
vie populaire d’Ouessant, par M. Ernest
Guerin est extremement interessante, de
meme que ses enluminures, d’un carac-
tere tres curieux : compositions sur des
legendes et poesies bretonnes.
ART ET CURIOSITE.
CONTRE LES NOUVELLES
MS SOU L
M. Louis Renault demontre que ce
surcroit de Charge n’est ni Pra
tique, ni Equitable.
M. Williamson, dont les galeries sont
situees 99 rne des Petits-Champs, est
revenu de New York il y a quelques se-
maines et a repris la direction de sa mai
son de Paris, oil il v a. toujours de beaux
objets d’art et de belles tapisseries an-
ciennes.
J’ai yu notamment un ameublement de
salon, compose d’un canape et de six
fauteuils en bois sculpte et dore, couverts
en tapisserie d’Aubusson du 18e siecle
extremement fine, offrant aux dossiers
de forme ovale, presque ronde, des su-
jets a petits personnages tres bien des-
sines sur fond blanc dans des entourages
de rubans et de fleurs et des.sujets d’a-
nimaux sur les sieges a contrefond cra-
moisi. Cet ameublement est tres deco
ra tif.
M. Williamson, qui est grand connais-
seur et apprecie beaucoup ce bel art de-
coratif franqais qui crea taut de mer-
veilles depuis la Renaissance jusqu’a la
fin dn 18e siecle, m’a montre encore un
petit canape marquis, forme corbeille, en
bois, legerement sculpte et cire, aocom-
pagne de son tabouret de pied, piece tres
rare et tres jolie, ainsi qu’un petit fau-
teuil d’enfant epoque Louis XVI, convert
en tapisserie d’Aubusson a fond blanc,
avec figures dans des entourages de rin-
ceaux et de fleurs.
LE ‘-HERALD” D'AUJOURD’HUI.
Le numero d’aujourd’hui eomprend
22 pages, dont 10 d’information, 4 de
Supplement coinique et 8 de Supple
ment d’Art. Les leeteurs du Herald
sont invites a veiller a ce que le numero
leur soit remis au complet.
Il y a deux mois, le Herald' a piiblie
les protestations du marquis de Dion et
de M. Louis Renault oontre l’etablisse-
ment de taxes nouvelles sur les automo
biles, taxes qui devaient pourvoir a la
refection et a 1’entretien des routes,
Ces jours derniers, le ministre des Tra-
vaux publics a depose un projet de loi
a ce sujet d’apres lequel les taxes nou
velles seraient appliquees a partir du
ler juillet 1914, comine suit:
Fr.
12 chevaux et au-dessous 50
De 13 a 24 chevaux 75
De 25 a 35 chevaux 125
De 37 a 60 chevaux 200
61 chevaux et au-dessus 250
De son cote le conseil municipal a en
visage de frapper aussi les vehicles in
dustries de poids lourds circulant dans
Paris. On comprendra done la legi
time emotion du monde de 1’automobile
qui voit ces projets d’impots prendre
corps de plus en plus.
M. Louis Renault, president de la
Chambre Syndicate des Constructeurs
d’Aiitomobiles, a, toujours ete un adver-
saire des taxes nouvelles qui, a son av r is,
au lieu de procurer des ressources en-
traineraient une diminution certaine des
recettes.
“J’ai prouve,” a dit hier M. Louis
Renault a un correspondant du Herald,
“qu’une taxe nouvelle mettrait en peril
1’industrie des poids lourds qui, a
1’beure actuelle, ne peut lutter, comme
moyen de transport, avec 'les voitures
attelees. Si les poids lourds se sont de-
veloppes malgre tout, e’est uniquement
en raison de certaines conditions spe-
ciales de rapidite qui ont ete conside-
rees comme indispensables pour 1’exe-
cution de divers travaux.
Le Reseau Routier.
“Pourquoi alors ce projet de loi ten-
dant a appliquer un nouvel impot sur
tous les vehicules automobiles? IJnique-
ment pare© qu’on a constate, a juste
litre d’ailleurs, que notre reseau routier
periclitait et immediatement on a ac
cuse les automobiles d’en avoir ete la
cause! Tout d’abord, meme avant J’ap-
parition des automobiles, le reseau rou
tier eommeii^ait deja a souffrir en
France et cela pareeque les credits ac-
cordes pour 1’entretien des routes sont
restes les memes depuis longtemps. Or,
la. main-d’oeuvre, les frais d’entretien,
les cantonniers et le prix des rnate-
riaux ont augmente de leur cote dans le
rapport de nn a deux. Il s’en est suivi
que le service des Pouts et Chaussees ne
pouvait guere effectuer que la moitie des
refections qu’il faisait il y a une soixan-
taine d’annees. Certes, 1’apparition do
P automobile a ete une cause nouvelle
d’usure, mais il ne faut pas oublier que
e’est aussi une cause d’enormes recettes
pour le budget national si on consider©
les taxes sur le petrole, le benzol et les
impots divers, directs ou indirects.
“L’automobile verse done chaque
annee une centaine de millions dans les
caisses de l’Etat. Rien, ou a peu pres
rien de cette somme, n’a ete reserve
pour ameliorer 1’entretien des routes.
Interets nationaux.
“On ne trouve rien de mieux main-
tenant que de creer un nouvel impot sur
les automobiles sans tenir compte de
ceux deja percus et qui auraient du
etre affectes aux dites routes. Il sem-
blerait vraiment que la plus grande pre
occupation de notre Gouvernement soit
d’entraver par tous les moyens possibles
le developpement de la locomotion auto
mobile qui est pourtant reconnu, a
I’heure actuelle, d’utilite publique. On
lie devrait pas perdre de vue que, comme
le prouvait les statistiques de ces der
nieres annees, l’automobile tend a se
vulgariser et se developpe surtout du
cote des voitures bon marche a la por-
tee des petites bourses. Pourquoi alors
vouloir arreter cette vulgarisation ? Ne
doit-on pas tenir compte que cette in-
dustrie est essentiellement nationale,
qu’elle fait vivre un nombre considerable
d’ouvriers et que plus son developpement
sera grand, plus les recettes de l’Etat
seront importantes?
“Si, comme il est malheureusemeut
exact, de nouveaux credits sont neces-
saires pour 1’entretien des routes, ne
devrait-on pas considerer en premier
lieu que les taxes sur les voitures atte
lees sont reellement infimes propor-
tionnellement a celles payees par les au
tomobiles, que les taxes sur ces voitures
attelees sont les memes depuis soixante
ans et que, par consequent, pour pou-
voir repondre a 1’usure proprement dite
provenant de ces voitures ces taxes de-
vraient etre pour le moins doublees?
L’Usure des Routes.
“On affirme que les automobiles de-
truisent les routes. Mais il en est de
meme des voitures attelees. Voici une
exemple : Sur la route de Quarante-Sous
entre Saint-Germain et Mantes on peut
constater qu’entre Saint-Germain et la
Maladrerie la route est toujours dans un
etat deplorable et beaucoup plus mau-
vaise qu’entre La iMaladrerie, Equevilly
et Mantes, quoique cette derniere partie
soit beaucoup plus frequentee. D’oii
vient done l’usure? Des maraicbers qui
transportent nuit et jour leurs mareban-
dises a Paris. Tout ceci tend a prouver
que l’automobile, tout en etant un ele
ment d’usure pour les routes, n’est pour
tant pas le seul. Aussi protestons-nous
et demandons-nousque le gouvernement,
s’il a besoin d’argent, ne frappe pas
uniquement les automobiles, mais re-
partisse les impots sur tous les modes
de locomotion.
“On incrimine Egalement les poids
lourds en leur reprochant de detruire
les routes. Ne serait-il pas necessaire,
afin de connaitre exactement leur co
efficient de destruction, de faire des es-
sais sur une route speeiale pour com
parer 1’usure a celle des chariots de cul-
tivateurs, tombereaux, etc?... Ne pour-
rait-on se rendre compte aussi de 1’usure
reelle causee par les voitures de tou
rism©? Il semblerait logique que le ser
vice des Fonts et Chaussees precede a
des etudes dans ce sens?”
DUEL DE FONCTIONNAIB,ES.
A la suite d’une polemique, un© ren
contre a 1’epee a eu lieu, a la Grande-
Roue, entre M. Loisy, inspecteur des
Colonies, chef du cabinet du ministre
des Colonies, et M. Salaiin, president de
t’Association des fonetionnaires centraux
de ce ministere.
A In premiere reprise, M. Salaiin a
ete atteint de deux blessures, dont 1’une,

, bat.

Erench Racing Notes.
The following racing notes are taken
from the “Jockey,” “Auteuil - Long-
champ,” “Criterium” and “Paris-
Sport” : —
The death occurred on Friday evening,
after a short illness, of Baron Alfred
d’Aymery, who, in bis day, was one of
the most prominent gentlemen riders ou
the French turf. His chief successes
were attained at La Croix-de-Bernay,
where he rode Baron Finot’s representa
tives.
Entered to be sold for 3,000fr., M. H.
Letellier’s Ninive IV. was. after her
victory in the Prix de l’Aube at Saint-
Ouen, yesterday, bought back at public
auction by her owner for 5,900fr.
At Maisons-Lafiitte yesterday Martin
gave a good gallop to Gamine VII. and
Rein© des Felibres, who will be M. J.
Lieux’ sole representative at the coming
Nice meeting.
C. Lynham, the trainer, will leave Gou-
vieux on Tuesday, and will take posses
sion of the late Richard Carter’s estab
lishment, avenue de la Gare, Chantilly.
Weatherdon, the jockey’, who has
passed the winter at Chantilly, has left
for Italy. At the end of the month he
will proceed to Germany, where he has
aii^engagement for the present year.
It is probable that F. Lane will pilot
Boschyons in the Handicap Optional. Al
though he is under contract to Herr
Haniel to ride in Germany, his services
will not be required until April 15.
After veterinary examination, it was
found that there was no chance of sav

Unequalled Charms of Capital
Ancient Monarchs of Egypt Are
Increasingly Appreciated.
of
IFROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.]
Luxor, February 28.—“What is so
rare as a day in June.” The delight
ful summer weather, the waving palm
trees, the wonderful blue sky of mid
day, the gorgeous sunsets, all these are
making their contributions to the com
fort and delight of the multitudes of
tourists that are coming and going all
the time in Luxor.
“Drink of the Nile, and you will re
turn to drink of its waters once more”
is a saying of the Arabs, and it seems
to be corroborated in the large numbers
who return to Luxor every year to pass
the entire season. Heretofore the ho
tels have had no difficulty in accommo
dating the visitors who come this way,
as so many of them came for but a short
sojourn. All this has been changing dur
ing the past few seasons, and now an
ever increasing number come for a so
journ of two or three months.
For a part of the past week almost
every available room in the numerous
hotels here was filled and the carriage
men and donkey boys were kept going
at high speed to convey the visitors to
see the wonders of the temples. And
still they come. It is little wonder, too,
for here of all places the tourist should
find satisfaction.
Here one finds something entirely dif
ferent from any place on the face of the
earth. One can pass the morning in
visiting the tombs of ancient monarchs
and look upon the departed glory of
the temples they erected to perpetuate
their memory, and then return to his
hotel and be as comfortable as if at
home. Or the visitor can pass the day
riding out into the peaceful desert with
its miles of burning sand, its beautiful
oases, its camels and picturesque camel
drives, its fieree-looking but docile Be
douins, and then in the evening return
across the waving fields of grain, just
now in all their glory.
Great Finds in the Temples.
It is little wonder that the monarchs
of ancient Egypt chose this favored spot
as the capital of their empire. Inis
past winter has been yielding its share
of wonders to the excavators. Several
very important finds have been made
recently by M. Legrain, the superinten*
dent of work at Karnak.
“We were working in the south pari
of the temple, near to the gate of Hour-
Mheb,” said one of the search party,
“and as we worked down through the
dust and debris we struck on a granite
head that gave promise of a fine statue
We went on carefully and were re
warded, not- by one, but by four statues,
all complete and in excellent condition.
Two of these were of Parmesson and I
two of Amenothes, sons of IIapis in the j
eighteenth dynasty. Hies© men were I
considered holy men by the people of |
their times, and their business was to i
write religious messages and give good
advice to the people.
“The statues arc in a sitting position,
and it is evident that they were located
at the side of King Rameses II., who is
represented as indicating some message
to them. In the hand of each of these
scribes is a roll of papyrus, and on their
left is an inkstand. On the statues is
written their history, and the statement
is made that the king had ordered them
to be made and commanded that they
be located in the very place where they
were found.
“That they were objects of worship,
is evident from the fact that portions
of the hieroglyphs are almost obliterated
from the kissing and handling of the
worshippers. All of these have been
sent to Cairo, and will be on exhibition
in the Cairo Museum.”
It has also been whispered abroad
that another very important find was
made this week of a headless statue, hut
one of rare beauty. The department is
bending every energy to locate the
head.

who were favorites, were only just de
feated. Then, in the second match, the
favorites won by 6 goals to 2, after their
opponents had already scored two goals.
Comte J. Pastre was in brilliant form.
In the final, the Harlequins, pressing
hard, could not secure a goal until
after six minutes extra time had been
allowed. Prince Louis of Orleans-
Braganza hit the winning goal, and
earned a victory for his side by a bril

NOTES FROM FLORENCE.
[FROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.]
Florence, Thursday. — Florence
awakened yesterday morning to find
Monte Morello and the mountains to the
west white with freshly 7 fallen snow.
The death occurred here a few days
ago of Mrs. Emily Kent Poag Harris,
wife of Colonel Harris. U.S.A., retired,
who was stopping at 36 via Montebello.
The body has been cremated and the
ashes will be taken to America.
Mr. Truman Newberry, former Secre
tary of War. has been passing some days
here Drior to aoina to Monte Carlo.
^ Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of the
Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army,
with her sister, Miss Key, is on a Y’isit
here.
A party from Providence, R.I., now
seeing Florence consists of Mrs. Allen,
Mrs. Lippett, Miss Blaso, Miss Clark
and Miss Lowe.
The Sala Filarmonica was filled this
afternoon with an overflowing audience
for the concert of Miss Isabel MacDou-
gall and Miss Nesta De Robeck.
Signor di Pietro, secretary of the
Uffizi Gallery, who was recently invited
by Marchese della Stufa to view his art
collection, to his surprise discoi’ered
there the original picture by Caravag
gio, of which a print exists in the Uffizi
collection.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Spalding, Mrs.
Boardman and Mr. Albert Spalding are
leaving for Egypt. Mr. Albert Spald
ing will play at concerts in Cairo and
Alexandria.
Fine Weather Attracts Many to Golf
and Tennis Clubs.
["SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
Cannes, Saturday.—The weather to
day is extremely favorable for golfers
and polo players.
The golf links was very crowded yes
terday, both before and after breakfast.
The captain of the club and Mrs. A. H.
Crossfield were taking dejeuner near
Grand Duke Michael Mikhaylovich and
Countess Torby’s party. Herr and Frau
Carl von Weinberg brought friends, and
after breakfast Fraulein Vera von W'ein-
berg instructed her father in the intrica
cies of the game.
Frau von Weinberg and her daugh
ter encountered Herr von Weinberg and
a partner in a foursome, the former
pair winning by 2 up. Captain E. D>.
Miller and Miss De Trafford met in a
single and Baron De Forest also went
round at his usual hour.
Prior to leaving, Captain Mulholland
joined Mr. Hargreaves in a foursome
against Mr. Peter Gannon and Mr. C.
A. Palmer. The latter were returned
the winners by a narrow margin. It
was an interesting match, all four play
ers being “plus” men. Captain Michael
Hughes plays in the mornings and gets a
good deal of fun, as do those who sit on
the bench at the first tee and watch the
players drive off. This is a favorite
rendezvous of photographers, as the light
is very good. Lady De Trafford is one
of those who bring a kodak, and she
adds many souvenirs to her collection.
Lady Sarah WYlson was to he seen
chatting with Lady De Trafford, and she
also watched Countess Zia Torby and
Mr. Randolph Wilson start their round.
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Crosfield and Ma
jor Edward Clayton were among those
looking on.
The starting card is proving the great
est blessing to those who are wise enough
to book their hour. Chambers, the
starter, has quite a good time, and keeps
everyone in order. Grand Duke Michael
gets off regularly at one sixteen, and
prior to the president, Countess Nada
and Countess Zia Torby approach the
tee.
A very welcome guest at the club was
Mr. Francis Brantingham, who had not
been out some seasons. Everyone was
delighted to see him on his return. He
is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Charles Singer
at Primavera. Lord Portarlington and
Lord Charles Hope are useful players.
Colonel Curran, one of the oldest mem
bers, was out doing a great round. The
colonel made a tremendous drive at the
tenth, and then remarked that he had
taken ten here; a few Curranian adjec
tives were flung in to make the last
little hole. Mr. Spencer Chapman au-
tomobiled out from Villa Algeria, and
Mr. John Shelton met his joint financial
advisor to the club.
The Cannes Lawn Tennis Club is very
active just now, Lady Wolverton and
Lady Portarlington keeping Thomas
Burke busy on alternate days. Lord
Charles Hope, Mrs. Jung and two
friends were having a doubles match
yesterday, and Mrs. C. J. Letts, Miss
Saul and Captain Scott Harden were
others playing, while Sir Edwin and
Lady Egerton were walking round.
Captain W. H. Dawson, the president,
is extremely active, and the staff and
board of directors have their hands full.
It h as been decided that the next bat
tle of flowers shall take place in the
horse show enclosure on the port sands.
This should give a greater spectacular
effect, but must deprive many thousands
of those who pay nothing to look on from
enjoying the floral warfare. It will take
place on Wednesday.
Dining with Mr. A. A. Hudnut at the
Casino on Thursday night were Mrs.
Hall. Mrs. Beals, Comtesse de Foras and
Sir Frederick Cook. With Comte and
Comtesse Grote were Captain and Mrs.
Stanley, Mrs. Tennant, Mr. and Mrs.

DES AETISTES BRETONS
EXPOSENT LETJRS (ETJVRES.
Cette Reunion de Peintures et Sculp
tures inaugure la Galerie de la
Rue Roquepine.
On vient d’inaugurer unc nouvelle et
tres vaste galerie d’exposition, qui, par
ses dimensions et sa decoration, ainsi
que par son fid air age ingenieusement
agence, quand. il faut suppleer a la In-
miere du jour par la lumiere artificielle,
me semble appelee a un grand succes.
Cette galerie, que M. Gueraud vient
de faire construire, 4 rue Roquepine, a
ete gracieusement mise par lui a la dis
position d’un groupe d’artistes bretons,
en donnant a ses membres une oc
casion d’y montrer leurs oeuvres. Il y
a la des tableaux et des sculptures, mais
ce sent ces dernieres qui forment la par-
tie la plus belle de cette exposition.
J’y ai beaucoup admire trois oeuvres
de M. Jean Boucher, bronzes a cire per-*
due, dont Vun est une statuette de Fra
Angelico, represente debout sous sa
lourde robe de bure, inspire par sa foi
et par son art, tenant sa palette a la
main; o’est une oeuvre’remarquable. Il
y a aussi “La Chinoise,” composition
traitee dans le gout et le style cliinois,
et “Le Chemineau,” oeuvre empreinte
d’un beau realisme. Les sculptures de
M. Louis Dore sont fort belles. La
tete de rieuse en marbre rose est
une chose delicieiise de grace et de mo-
dele, ainsi que la tete de femme d’aspect
hieratique. “Priere Paiennc,” marbre
blanc. .et le buste d’une petite fille, par
M. Armel Beaufils, sont aussi a signaler
parmi les meilleurs.
Voici encore un remarquable portrait
du comte Bertrand d’Aramon, bronze a
cire perdue, au milieu d’autres oeuvres
de Al. Louis Nicot, et deux bronzes,
dignes d’etre remarques parmi d’autres,
de M. Pierre Lenoir; ce sont: “La Pe
tite Bretonne a la Fontaine” et “Au
Travail.” MM. Floi Robert, Francis
-Renaud, Emmanuel Guerin, Armand
Bourget exposent egalement.
Quant a la peinture, nous la voyons
representee d’abord par M. Eugene Cha-
pleau, president de la societe. qui a
point, a, la fresque une tres belle figure
allegorique, “L’Autonine,” et quelques
fins paysages. M. Maximo Manfra, un
invite, expose une belle marine, “Le
Port de Goulphar,” a, Belle-Isle, et un
paysage, “La Route ensoleiilee.”
Mile. Magdeleine A. Dayot, jeune ar
tiste d’un reel talent, a peint, avec un
sentiment tres juste de la decoration,
des pots de fleurs et une composition
savante : une madone sur un autel fieuri
en Espagne; M. Edmond JLesellier a ex
pose quelques bonnes toiles, notamment
“Les Barques” et “Les Pins” ; M. Andre
Herviault, un interessant portrait d’abbe
et des paysages.
Une serie d’aquarelles, scenes de la
vie populaire d’Ouessant, par M. Ernest
Guerin est extremement interessante, de
meme que ses enluminures, d’un carac-
tere tres curieux : compositions sur des
legendes et poesies bretonnes.

M. Williamson, dont les galeries sont

revenu de New York il y a quelques se-
maines et a repris la direction de sa mai
son de Paris, oil il v a. toujours de beaux
objets d’art et de belles tapisseries an-
ciennes.
J’ai yu notamment un ameublement de
salon, compose d’un canape et de six
fauteuils en bois sculpte et dore, couverts
en tapisserie d’Aubusson du 18e siecle
extremement fine, offrant aux dossiers
de forme ovale, presque ronde, des su-
jets a petits personnages tres bien des-

de rubans et de fleurs et des.sujets d’a-

LE ‘-HERALD” D'AUJOURD’HUI.
Le numero d’aujourd’hui eomprend
22 pages, dont 10 d’information, 4 de
Supplement coinique et 8 de Supple
ment d’Art. Les leeteurs du Herald
sont invites a veiller a ce que le numero
leur soit remis au complet.
Il y a deux mois, le Herald' a piiblie
les protestations du marquis de Dion et
de M. Louis Renault oontre l’etablisse-
ment de taxes nouvelles sur les automo
biles, taxes qui devaient pourvoir a la
refection et a 1’entretien des routes,
Ces jours derniers, le ministre des Tra-
vaux publics a depose un projet de loi
a ce sujet d’apres lequel les taxes nou
velles seraient appliquees a partir du
ler juillet 1914, comine suit:
Fr.
12 chevaux et au-dessous 50
De 13 a 24 chevaux 75
De 25 a 35 chevaux 125
De 37 a 60 chevaux 200
61 chevaux et au-dessus 250
De son cote le conseil municipal a en
visage de frapper aussi les vehicles in
dustries de poids lourds circulant dans
Paris. On comprendra done la legi
time emotion du monde de 1’automobile
qui voit ces projets d’impots prendre
corps de plus en plus.
M. Louis Renault, president de la
Chambre Syndicate des Constructeurs
d’Aiitomobiles, a, toujours ete un adver-
saire des taxes nouvelles qui, a son av r is,
au lieu de procurer des ressources en-
traineraient une diminution certaine des
recettes.
“J’ai prouve,” a dit hier M. Louis
Renault a un correspondant du Herald,
“qu’une taxe nouvelle mettrait en peril
1’industrie des poids lourds qui, a
1’beure actuelle, ne peut lutter, comme
moyen de transport, avec 'les voitures
attelees. Si les poids lourds se sont de-
veloppes malgre tout, e’est uniquement
en raison de certaines conditions spe-
ciales de rapidite qui ont ete conside-
rees comme indispensables pour 1’exe-
cution de divers travaux.
Le Reseau Routier.
“Pourquoi alors ce projet de loi ten-
dant a appliquer un nouvel impot sur
tous les vehicules automobiles? IJnique-
ment pare© qu’on a constate, a juste
litre d’ailleurs, que notre reseau routier
periclitait et immediatement on a ac
cuse les automobiles d’en avoir ete la
cause! Tout d’abord, meme avant J’ap-
parition des automobiles, le reseau rou
tier eommeii^ait deja a souffrir en
France et cela pareeque les credits ac-
cordes pour 1’entretien des routes sont
restes les memes depuis longtemps. Or,
la. main-d’oeuvre, les frais d’entretien,
les cantonniers et le prix des rnate-
riaux ont augmente de leur cote dans le
rapport de nn a deux. Il s’en est suivi
que le service des Pouts et Chaussees ne
pouvait guere effectuer que la moitie des
refections qu’il faisait il y a une soixan-
taine d’annees. Certes, 1’apparition do
P automobile a ete une cause nouvelle
d’usure, mais il ne faut pas oublier que
e’est aussi une cause d’enormes recettes
pour le budget national si on consider©
les taxes sur le petrole, le benzol et les
impots divers, directs ou indirects.
“L’automobile verse done chaque
annee une centaine de millions dans les
caisses de l’Etat. Rien, ou a peu pres
rien de cette somme, n’a ete reserve
pour ameliorer 1’entretien des routes.
Interets nationaux.
“On ne trouve rien de mieux main-
tenant que de creer un nouvel impot sur
les automobiles sans tenir compte de
ceux deja percus et qui auraient du
etre affectes aux dites routes. Il sem-
blerait vraiment que la plus grande pre
occupation de notre Gouvernement soit
d’entraver par tous les moyens possibles
le developpement de la locomotion auto
mobile qui est pourtant reconnu, a
I’heure actuelle, d’utilite publique. On
lie devrait pas perdre de vue que, comme
le prouvait les statistiques de ces der
nieres annees, l’automobile tend a se
vulgariser et se developpe surtout du
cote des voitures bon marche a la por-
tee des petites bourses. Pourquoi alors
vouloir arreter cette vulgarisation ? Ne
doit-on pas tenir compte que cette in-
dustrie est essentiellement nationale,
qu’elle fait vivre un nombre considerable
d’ouvriers et que plus son developpement
sera grand, plus les recettes de l’Etat
seront importantes?
“Si, comme il est malheureusemeut
exact, de nouveaux credits sont neces-
saires pour 1’entretien des routes, ne
devrait-on pas considerer en premier
lieu que les taxes sur les voitures atte
lees sont reellement infimes propor-
tionnellement a celles payees par les au
tomobiles, que les taxes sur ces voitures
attelees sont les memes depuis soixante
ans et que, par consequent, pour pou-
voir repondre a 1’usure proprement dite
provenant de ces voitures ces taxes de-
vraient etre pour le moins doublees?
L’Usure des Routes.
“On affirme que les automobiles de-
truisent les routes. Mais il en est de
meme des voitures attelees. Voici une
exemple : Sur la route de Quarante-Sous
entre Saint-Germain et Mantes on peut
constater qu’entre Saint-Germain et la
Maladrerie la route est toujours dans un
etat deplorable et beaucoup plus mau-
vaise qu’entre La iMaladrerie, Equevilly
et Mantes, quoique cette derniere partie
soit beaucoup plus frequentee. D’oii
vient done l’usure? Des maraicbers qui
transportent nuit et jour leurs mareban-
dises a Paris. Tout ceci tend a prouver
que l’automobile, tout en etant un ele
ment d’usure pour les routes, n’est pour
tant pas le seul. Aussi protestons-nous
et demandons-nousque le gouvernement,
s’il a besoin d’argent, ne frappe pas
uniquement les automobiles, mais re-
partisse les impots sur tous les modes
de locomotion.
“On incrimine Egalement les poids
lourds en leur reprochant de detruire
les routes. Ne serait-il pas necessaire,
afin de connaitre exactement leur co
efficient de destruction, de faire des es-
sais sur une route speeiale pour com
parer 1’usure a celle des chariots de cul-
tivateurs, tombereaux, etc?... Ne pour-
rait-on se rendre compte aussi de 1’usure
reelle causee par les voitures de tou
rism©? Il semblerait logique que le ser
vice des Fonts et Chaussees precede a
des etudes dans ce sens?”

Erench Racing Notes.
The following racing notes are taken
from the “Jockey,” “Auteuil - Long-
champ,” “Criterium” and “Paris-
Sport” : —
The death occurred on Friday evening,
after a short illness, of Baron Alfred
d’Aymery, who, in bis day, was one of
the most prominent gentlemen riders ou
the French turf. His chief successes
were attained at La Croix-de-Bernay,
where he rode Baron Finot’s representa
tives.
Entered to be sold for 3,000fr., M. H.
Letellier’s Ninive IV. was. after her
victory in the Prix de l’Aube at Saint-
Ouen, yesterday, bought back at public
auction by her owner for 5,900fr.
At Maisons-Lafiitte yesterday Martin
gave a good gallop to Gamine VII. and
Rein© des Felibres, who will be M. J.
Lieux’ sole representative at the coming
Nice meeting.
C. Lynham, the trainer, will leave Gou-
vieux on Tuesday, and will take posses
sion of the late Richard Carter’s estab
lishment, avenue de la Gare, Chantilly.
Weatherdon, the jockey’, who has
passed the winter at Chantilly, has left
for Italy. At the end of the month he
will proceed to Germany, where he has
aii^engagement for the present year.
It is probable that F. Lane will pilot
Boschyons in the Handicap Optional. Al
though he is under contract to Herr
Haniel to ride in Germany, his services
will not be required until April 15.

«,
Unequalled Charms of Capital
Ancient Monarchs of Egypt Are
Increasingly Appreciated.
of
IFROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.]
Luxor, February 28.—“What is so
rare as a day in June.” The delight
ful summer weather, the waving palm
trees, the wonderful blue sky of mid
day, the gorgeous sunsets, all these are
making their contributions to the com
fort and delight of the multitudes of
tourists that are coming and going all
the time in Luxor.
“Drink of the Nile, and you will re
turn to drink of its waters once more”
is a saying of the Arabs, and it seems
to be corroborated in the large numbers
who return to Luxor every year to pass
the entire season. Heretofore the ho
tels have had no difficulty in accommo
dating the visitors who come this way,
as so many of them came for but a short
sojourn. All this has been changing dur
ing the past few seasons, and now an
ever increasing number come for a so
journ of two or three months.
For a part of the past week almost
every available room in the numerous
hotels here was filled and the carriage
men and donkey boys were kept going
at high speed to convey the visitors to
see the wonders of the temples. And
still they come. It is little wonder, too,
for here of all places the tourist should
find satisfaction.
Here one finds something entirely dif
ferent from any place on the face of the
earth. One can pass the morning in
visiting the tombs of ancient monarchs
and look upon the departed glory of
the temples they erected to perpetuate
their memory, and then return to his
hotel and be as comfortable as if at
home. Or the visitor can pass the day
riding out into the peaceful desert with
its miles of burning sand, its beautiful
oases, its camels and picturesque camel
drives, its fieree-looking but docile Be
douins, and then in the evening return
across the waving fields of grain, just
now in all their glory.
Great Finds in the Temples.
It is little wonder that the monarchs
of ancient Egypt chose this favored spot
as the capital of their empire. Inis
past winter has been yielding its share
of wonders to the excavators. Several
very important finds have been made
recently by M. Legrain, the superinten*
dent of work at Karnak.
“We were working in the south pari
of the temple, near to the gate of Hour-
Mheb,” said one of the search party,
“and as we worked down through the
dust and debris we struck on a granite
head that gave promise of a fine statue
We went on carefully and were re
warded, not- by one, but by four statues,
all complete and in excellent condition.
Two of these were of Parmesson and I
two of Amenothes, sons of IIapis in the j
eighteenth dynasty. Hies© men were I
considered holy men by the people of |
their times, and their business was to i
write religious messages and give good
advice to the people.
“The statues arc in a sitting position,
and it is evident that they were located
at the side of King Rameses II., who is
represented as indicating some message
to them. In the hand of each of these
scribes is a roll of papyrus, and on their
left is an inkstand. On the statues is
written their history, and the statement
is made that the king had ordered them
to be made and commanded that they
be located in the very place where they
were found.
“That they were objects of worship,
is evident from the fact that portions
of the hieroglyphs are almost obliterated
from the kissing and handling of the
worshippers. All of these have been
sent to Cairo, and will be on exhibition
in the Cairo Museum.”
It has also been whispered abroad
that another very important find was
made this week of a headless statue, hut
one of rare beauty. The department is
bending every energy to locate the
head.

NOTES FROM FLORENCE.
[FROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.]
Florence, Thursday. — Florence
awakened yesterday morning to find
Monte Morello and the mountains to the
west white with freshly 7 fallen snow.
The death occurred here a few days
ago of Mrs. Emily Kent Poag Harris,
wife of Colonel Harris. U.S.A., retired,
who was stopping at 36 via Montebello.
The body has been cremated and the
ashes will be taken to America.
Mr. Truman Newberry, former Secre
tary of War. has been passing some days
here Drior to aoina to Monte Carlo.
^ Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of the
Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army,
with her sister, Miss Key, is on a Y’isit
here.
A party from Providence, R.I., now
seeing Florence consists of Mrs. Allen,
Mrs. Lippett, Miss Blaso, Miss Clark
and Miss Lowe.
The Sala Filarmonica was filled this
afternoon with an overflowing audience
for the concert of Miss Isabel MacDou-
gall and Miss Nesta De Robeck.
Signor di Pietro, secretary of the
Uffizi Gallery, who was recently invited
by Marchese della Stufa to view his art
collection, to his surprise discoi’ered
there the original picture by Caravag
gio, of which a print exists in the Uffizi
collection.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Spalding, Mrs.
Boardman and Mr. Albert Spalding are
leaving for Egypt. Mr. Albert Spald
ing will play at concerts in Cairo and
Alexandria.
Fine Weather Attracts Many to Golf
and Tennis Clubs.
["SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
Cannes, Saturday.—The weather to
day is extremely favorable for golfers
and polo players.
The golf links was very crowded yes
terday, both before and after breakfast.
The captain of the club and Mrs. A. H.
Crossfield were taking dejeuner near
Grand Duke Michael Mikhaylovich and
Countess Torby’s party. Herr and Frau
Carl von Weinberg brought friends, and
after breakfast Fraulein Vera von W'ein-
berg instructed her father in the intrica
cies of the game.
Frau von Weinberg and her daugh
ter encountered Herr von Weinberg and
a partner in a foursome, the former
pair winning by 2 up. Captain E. D>.
Miller and Miss De Trafford met in a
single and Baron De Forest also went
round at his usual hour.
Prior to leaving, Captain Mulholland
joined Mr. Hargreaves in a foursome
against Mr. Peter Gannon and Mr. C.
A. Palmer. The latter were returned
the winners by a narrow margin. It
was an interesting match, all four play
ers being “plus” men. Captain Michael
Hughes plays in the mornings and gets a
good deal of fun, as do those who sit on
the bench at the first tee and watch the
players drive off. This is a favorite
rendezvous of photographers, as the light
is very good. Lady De Trafford is one
of those who bring a kodak, and she
adds many souvenirs to her collection.
Lady Sarah WYlson was to he seen
chatting with Lady De Trafford, and she
also watched Countess Zia Torby and
Mr. Randolph Wilson start their round.
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Crosfield and Ma
jor Edward Clayton were among those
looking on.
The starting card is proving the great
est blessing to those who are wise enough
to book their hour. Chambers, the
starter, has quite a good time, and keeps
everyone in order. Grand Duke Michael
gets off regularly at one sixteen, and
prior to the president, Countess Nada
and Countess Zia Torby approach the
tee.
A very welcome guest at the club was
Mr. Francis Brantingham, who had not
been out some seasons. Everyone was
delighted to see him on his return. He
is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Charles Singer
at Primavera. Lord Portarlington and
Lord Charles Hope are useful players.
Colonel Curran, one of the oldest mem
bers, was out doing a great round. The
colonel made a tremendous drive at the
tenth, and then remarked that he had
taken ten here; a few Curranian adjec
tives were flung in to make the last
little hole. Mr. Spencer Chapman au-
tomobiled out from Villa Algeria, and
Mr. John Shelton met his joint financial
advisor to the club.
The Cannes Lawn Tennis Club is very
active just now, Lady Wolverton and
Lady Portarlington keeping Thomas
Burke busy on alternate days. Lord
Charles Hope, Mrs. Jung and two
friends were having a doubles match
yesterday, and Mrs. C. J. Letts, Miss
Saul and Captain Scott Harden were
others playing, while Sir Edwin and
Lady Egerton were walking round.
Captain W. H. Dawson, the president,
is extremely active, and the staff and
board of directors have their hands full.
It h as been decided that the next bat
tle of flowers shall take place in the
horse show enclosure on the port sands.
This should give a greater spectacular
effect, but must deprive many thousands
of those who pay nothing to look on from
enjoying the floral warfare. It will take
place on Wednesday.
Dining with Mr. A. A. Hudnut at the
Casino on Thursday night were Mrs.
Hall. Mrs. Beals, Comtesse de Foras and
Sir Frederick Cook. With Comte and
Comtesse Grote were Captain and Mrs.
Stanley, Mrs. Tennant, Mr. and Mrs.
