GARFIELD MONUMENT.
Arranging the Designs for Inspection Mt
Cleveland.


Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, May S.-Forty-three designs
for the Garfield monument, of which eleven
are models and thirty-two drawings, were
received by the association on May lst, the
day fixed by the invitation issued to artists
in October last. These designs are from
France, Italy, Germany, England and the
United States. Their arrangement is now
in progress in the last art gallery of J. F.
RYDER, where there is excellent sky
light and plenty Of space. Each design
has motto or mark TO identify
the artist and his work and is accompanied
by a sealed envelope bearing a similar work
and containing the artists name. The de-
signs will therefore be examined and passed
upon without knowing the names of the ar
fists who made them. The collection of de
signs is varied and elaborate and shows that
much thought has been giAen the subject,
and much qualification is expressed over
the result. The designs have not been cx-
hbited to the public and no action has been
taken by the trustees. The first cxaminl.
ton by the trustees will be made May H.
1t is probable that no decision will be made
for some weeks.
