"A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE OF DATES IN THE HISTORY
OF TIE SHAFT.
The dates Of several OF the most important events
in the history OF the Washington monument afford
remarkable instance OF coincidence The original
resolution to erect an equestrian statue to the
memory Of George Washington at the seat OF the
federal government. which was the first step
towards the erection OF the present m lnument was
offered In Congress August 2. 1888 When Con-
unfinished shaft, IL happened, that the appropr1a-
ton was made on the 81 OF August 1876. Tive first
stone laid on the monument after the resumption
OF the work was laid on the 7th OF August, 1880
on the anniversary Of the day when the original
resolution was Introduced and the last stone OF the
shaft was LAID on The 9th OF the present August
Thus the month OF August is an important one in
the calendaE VI the monument, and the eth day OF
August has been marked b. two important events
The other events named were on the pa and 9th
respectively, there being just seven days, or one
week between the two dates
