formed this duty and communicated their
views 10 Miss Sarah n. Randolph, of Baltimore
president OF the Lee Monument association.
The commission did not know the names OF
the sculptors, the models being marked only by
notices.

model marked Potomac" and the second to
Miss Randolph the commission said: "Your
commission are gratified TO find that this
competition has brought out SO many models
announce their decision without making espe.
cial mention of the merit of the model
marked Humanity. When the seals OF
the envelopes containing the names OF
the sculptOrs which correspOnded to the mot.
toes on the models were opened it was found
that Mr.. Chas II. Niehaus won the first pre-
MUM, and Mr.. Ezekiel, the second, while MIR.
Alfred LAM was found to be the sculptor that
modelled Humanity"
MIR. Niehaus, of Cincinnati, to whom the first
premium was awarded is the sculptor of the
bronze statue OF Garfield in Cincinnati, mar
BILE replica of which has been deposited in the
Statuary hall at the Capitol.
The pedestal on which the equestrian figure
In MIR. Niehaus' model stands is supported on
either side by two columns and two caryatids
in high relief, the caryatids representing Peace,
Justice, Religion and Patriotism. Below in front
Is q female figure emblematic of Fame, on the
sides two other figures, representing respec-
lively War and Charity. On the sides OF the
base are represented in relief on one side the
departure and on the other the return of body
of troops All the figures, except caryatids are
bronze. The whole has q very imposing ap
pearance.
The design of Mr.. Ezekiel is quite striking.
Behind the square pedestal upon which Is
mounted the equestrian figure OF Lee, rises an
ara upon which stands female figure, repre-
senting "the South" with her right hand rest
ing upon q plough, her lett holding a
wreath OF oak leaves toward hero.
iD relief, OF allegoricai import About the base
Of the pedestal groups are representing Destiny,
The design of Mr.. LAM, which was honorably
mentioned, attracts much notice from visitors
to the hall. The pedestal rises from q massive
terrace of rough hewn rock. The statue is sup
ported by six columns, between which are ma
jestic figures representing Education, Religion,
Science, Justice, War and Virginia. The treat
ment is bold, and, altogether, the design is con-
sidered well worthy OF the mention it received
from the commission.
