THE DAVIS MONUMENT.
Committee Adopts the Design Of Percy Griffin Oh
New York.

New 1Olhi
The design for the Jefferson Davis monu-
ment, is that furnished by Mr. Percy Gliihn,
OF New York. His plan was adopted by tho
committee OF design, composed OF well-known
gentlemen OF Richmond. This choice was
approved at joint meeting of the members
of the Davis monument board and the mon
ument committee of the United Veterans.
Ia submitting his design to the committee
the architect gives she following description
OF the monument:
81 strongly suggest that you should depart
from the ordinary statue monument, which
might be composed OF groups OF statuary
around a central figure, for ii seems to me
that II q monument be built which is In IL
self INTELLECTUALLY good, graceful and mas
live, OF fine stone work. that we can accom-
pllsh q result far more dignifed and appro-
pirate and even more interesting than would
be obtained by single figure standing eth
err alone or with its surrounding groups In
the midst OF your park.
"Above the trees will rise the dome, with
its golden cap, giving n bright crown to the
monument From oil sides will 1t look
equally we'll and may be entered from four
directions. In the center will stand the
statue Of President Dasis, directly beneath
the dome, and in spaces at the four corners
may be placed battle flags or else statues OF
generals who were identified with the cause
81 propose building the monument OF
Tuckahoe marble, which is most durat'le in
charact r, and stone which shows to tho
best adva ntage good carving and moulding
I would Introduce a flno frieze OF color be-
meath the roofs OF the porches and behind
the columns under the dome, using guam
tity of gold leaf in the latter place to give a
tone of warmth and color to the exterior. A
iudicious treatment of colors on the interior
which are in keeping with the architecture
will make surrounding for your statue,
which will be both appropriate and beautiful.
Aided to this coloring, we would get the
light falling from the centre of the dome
and through the colored glass windows be-
low 1t.
"Would not these surroundings be far bet
ter for such monument than to place 1t in
the centre Of your park, exposed at all time'
and to all weather? My feeling is that 1t
would be more respectful, as it were, to him
you honor, and far moro satisfactory In the
result. We would add in this way to the
impressiveness of our statue by giving 1t
such good superstructurc. You will recall
the beauty of Dome DIES InyaIides in Paris,
and, II your committee thought best sar-
cophagus might be substituted in place OF
statue and treated as the tomb OF Napoleon l.
"Our monument would stand on concrete
foundation, all the construction to be in
masonry and not OF iron, the marble inside
and out to be "Tuckahoe' and the floors to
be OF marble mosaics. The estimates which
| submit are as follows:
Mason work and marble work. ...... S125, 0J0
