REJECTION OF BIDS: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance, may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. Il. THE BUYER: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. III. IDENTIFICATION AND DEPOSIT BY BUYER: The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. A aeoat at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may be required. If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. IV. RISK AFTER PURCHASE: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneers hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser’s risk, and neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. V. DELIVERY OF PURCHASES: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. VI. RECEIPTED BILLS: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recog- nized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon.

STORAGE IN DEFAULT OF PROMPT PAYMENT AND CALLING FOR GOODS: Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the pur- chaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any other stipulation fa these conditions of sale notwith- standing, in respect to any or all lots included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and te hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses sus- tained in so doing.

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judg- ment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. X. RECORDS: The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all cases. to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie.

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clear- ness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot num- ber be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated.

PARKE AUCTIONEERS FOREWORD HE present important collection is placed on the market to liquidate the estate of the late Lieut. William Johns Ralston of Louis Ralston and Son of Fifth Avenue, New York, and 19, rue Caumartin, Paris, who died in January, 1925. Mr. Louis Ralston, senior partner of the firm, is well known to the art world of New York. A great-great-grandson of James Pettigrew, lieutenant in the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry under Washington and sometime Governor of Pennsylvania, Mr. Ralston has been in business for over twenty-five years, formerly in the Old Windsor Arcade building at 567 Fifth Avenue, and in this connection, has par- ticipated in the building up of the collections of such men as the late Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, E. T. Stotesbury of Philadelphia, R. D. Evans of Boston and others; who have been indebted to him for counsel and guidance at a time when collecting in America was in its infancy. About ninety-five paintings will be on exhibition, falling into four main divisions. Ihe first is that of a remarkable series of portraits of the eighteenth century British School, amassed by the Messrs. Ral- ston over a long period of years and embracing the names of Rey- nolds, Romney, Hoppner, Lawrence, Raeburn, Beechey, Cotes and others, of which there may be singled out for distinction the fine Lady Mary Waldegrave, of George Romney, recorded in Ward and Roberts’ book, and of which a photograph is in the print room of the British Mseum, and the Sir Thomas Lawrence Countess of Blessington, an exquisite three-quarter length ere of one of the most remarkable women of her day. The second division is that of the Dutch and Flemish Schools of the seventeenth century, represented by Bol, Ravesteyn and Mierevelt, and Rubens’ magnificent Archduke Albrecht of Austria, in the Theuillier collection of The Hague in the seventeenth century and purchased from Lord Ailwyn, a variant of the remarkable picture in the Vienna Staats- museum. This is perhaps the most important Flemish portrait offered at auction within the last decade. A charming group of paintings of the French Barbizon School is headed by the outstanding Corot, Les Ruines du Chateau de Pierre- fonds (29 x 42) illustrated in Robaut, and at one time owned by the Georges Petit Galleries, together with examples by Jacque, Cazin, Rousseau, Trovon, Diaz, Lhermitte and others. The last division is that of the American School, with a pair of fine portraits by Gilbert Stuart of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Van Der Beek. Isaac Van Der Beek (1743-1833) was married in 1767 at Paterson, N. J., and removed to New York after the Revolution, his picture descending in the family, until purchased from the great-granddaugh- ter of the sitters; it has been authenticated by the expert, Jonce Mc- ~Gurck. Finally, a distinguished and graceful Whistler, Lady Archi- bald Campbell as Orlando, mentioned in the Pennells’ Life, is accom- panied by a characteristic letter from Joseph Pennell himself: “ * * * Of course the picture is genuine!” AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Inc.
