CONDITIONS OF SALE 
 
 I. 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 deposit 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. If a receipted bill is lost before 
 delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should immediately notify 
 the Association of such loss, 
 
 VII. 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 in 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 to 
 hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses sus- 
 tained in so doing. 
 
 VIII. SHIPPING: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a busi- 
 ness in which the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, 
 
however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and 
 reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assump- 
 tion of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged 
 for such service. 
 
 IX. GUARANTY: The Association exercises great care to catalogue 
 every lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale 
 to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either 
 by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genu- 
 ineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on 
 account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted 
 or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘“‘as is” and without recourse. 
 
 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. 
 
 XI. BUYING ON ORDER: Buying or bidding by the Association for 
 responsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or tele- 
 phone, if conditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge or 
 commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing condi- 
 tions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot-of one or more 
 books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 
 present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be 
 returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will 
 be refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 
 
 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. If the one trans- 
 mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must be sent or 
 reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 
 
 PRICED CATALOGUES: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session 
 thereof, will be furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with 
 the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the records of 
 the Association. 
 
 These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or 
 by an officer of the Association.

 ON-YING & COMPANY offer at unrestricted public sale 
 
 a diversified collection of art objects of Chinese production 
 
 which it is a joy to survey. In it are comprised smaller 
 
 groups of objects that would dignify the cabinets of a 
 
 private collector. Not least among them both in interest 
 and importance are some of the latest exportations of treasures from 
 the imperial palaces and homes, glyptic productions in jade, amber, 
 ivory and other substances that were prized by their imperial owners 
 and apportioned among members of the family upon the Republican 
 overturn, as well as objects of the fictile arts of which the Chinese are 
 past masters, dressed in glowing and mystic glazes of entrancing color. 
 Like some Occidental potentates, scions of Celestial imperialism have 
 had recourse to the banks and have deposited glittering collateral of 
 intrinsic value, upon which banks in their turn have been obliged to 
 realize. ‘he collection was assembled by Mr. C. F. Yau, president 
 of Ton-Ying & Company, on a personal visit to China. 
 
 The unusually large ivory carving illustrated in color bears the 
 imperial seal of Ch’ien-lung, amber vases and ornaments come from 
 the halls of the same illustrious collector, ceramic productions bear the 
 seals of earlier rulers, and among a few paintings by Sung artists is 
 one bearing two seals of the Emperor Hui Tsung, one his personal seal 
 and the other that of his reign, the monarch who established the Im- 
 perial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. ‘The artist was a mem- 
 ber of the Academy. 
 
 Early imperial seals of jade, more carvings in pure white and 
 fei-ts’ui jade of high artistic beauty — including rare fei-ts’ui jade 
 of blue and mauve tones—large amber globes borne on the backs of 
 elephants which are fine examples of the silversmith’s art, and inlaid 
 bronzes add to the diversity of the collection, which includes a consider- 
 able number of remarkably fine snuff bottles. 
 
 The porcelains include a bowl bearing the Hstian Té mark, which 
 experts believe actually to date from that early Ming reign, as well as 
 the more often seen monochromes and pieces in many colors, besides a 
 
group of Yin Ching or “Shadow Blue” porcelains, a glaze not familiar 
 in American collections, having been found in a Sung city not long ago 
 excavated. Unlike the names of some glazes commonly applied to cer- 
 amics, this name was not given by foreigners, but is the name by which 
 the glaze was called in the Sung period, when it was first achieved— 
 thereafter trace of it having vanished. Ancient potteries also appear. 
 
 A few enamels, corals, malachite carvings and lacquers are also 
 included, among them an interesting commemorative vase in lacquer 
 dating from the twenty-fifth year of K’ang-hsi.
