Unsigned, attributed to M.E. Yorks (see lot 484). Oil on canvas, 20

Condition: Very good.
Provenance: By family descent of John Hohorst, a sailmaker in

Brooklyn, New York, who owned the yacht jointly with his brother
Louis (Louie) Hohorst, a shipyard worker.
Note: A small account book kept by John Hohorst accompanies the

painting. It notes the purchase of the sloop yacht Defyer on April 3,
1896 from H. J. Potter per A.P. Seripture of New York City. It was
formerly named the Rob Roy. It was purchased by John and his
brother, Louis (Louie) Hohorst, of Brooklyn, New York, for $360.00.
Part of Louie’s share was in exchange for his watch, which was
valued at $33.00. The sloop was later sold to the Tuxedo Boat
Club in 1901 for $250.00. Louie was given his watch back “...and
everything is squared out of his $88.19 investment.” The account
book lists in great detail the expenditures these two men paid to
refurbish the vessel. It also has detailed measurements of the craft.
Also listed are accounts of John’s horse racing bets for the years
1902-03.

floor of a frame building on the corner of Genesee and Broad streets. The building housed a grocery
store, a silversmith, and a jeweler. According to the Utica Observer of April 4, 1837: “...the wind was high
from the east and most of the buildings, being of wood (a few have brick fronts), the flames spread with
great rapidity, and before the engines could be brought into play, had obtained a mastery that was almost
impossible to overcome...” The fire consumed a total of thirty-four buildings, most of them merchants,
and a handful of private dwellings. The article goes on to say, “Undaunted by the disastrous fire, Uticans
immediately began the reconstruction of the block...” A photocopy of a typewritten article about the fire is
included with the painting.

Bill Guthman to Jason Baldwin. It relates how Bill was unable to find Charles or Jonathan Barron in any of his roster books
and goes on about the quality and style of the engraving. Lastly he states, “Your horn obviously was left to Jonathan from
Charles...”

Powder Horn, 1996. The letter notes, “The inscription is contained inside a cartouche with the word “LEFT” carved outside
this cartouche, possibly added at a later time. We can only assume that with two names carved on the horn at the same
time, maybe this was a shared horn, then eventually it was left to Jonathan.”

END OF SALE

Skinner, Inc. - Conditions of Sale
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and
Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed
the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a
lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.
2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with
respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of
description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made
at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed
bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot
for sale.
4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the
purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of
the date of sale.
Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If
any property has not been removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and
the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three

deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds to the purchaser.
5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of

limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b)
offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to
pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.
7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such
purchaser for such item.

include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of
licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute
cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number.
Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and
