CoNHIING s STATUE. result of their choice is very satisfactory to all except q few critics who would rather have had the senator's stalwart form draped in a Roman toga or something else that is classical"
 Mrs. Conkling, the senator's widow, saw the model in the sculptor's studio many times, and shortly before her death, which occurred in October last, wrote to MT. Ward complimenting him on his success in securing n hfelike rep resentation of her husband. Mrs. Conk- ling took the greatest interest in the completion of the memorial. and many times expressed the wish that there might be no ceremony of any kind when it was unveiled. Her desire was carried out to the letter. and the statue was set up and unveiled, without word of eulo- gy or n note of music. in the presence of but small aSsemhlage of paSsersby who had stopped to see what was going on.
 The bronze represents Senator Conk- ling in an attitude Mir. Ward remembers having once seen him assume while ad- dressing the senate. The pose is grace full and natural, and the likeness is re markedly good. The statue is feet in height and weighs 1,200 pounds. The pedestal is of grayish red marble, and the only inscription IS the name, "Ros- COG Conkling."
