tieth year. She sent the design to the
Worlds fair, where it took the second
prize. It was her first attempt, but its
artistic qualities at once attracted atten-
ton and won for her the commission for
a heroic statne fer the Wisconsin state
building.
The statue represents a beautiful
young woman draped in an American
flag, standing with uplifted face and
caressing an eagle which perches Just
above her shoulder on a rock against
which she is leaning. The bird of free
dom is an idealization of ''Old Abe, -
the historic eagle which perched on the
colors of Wisconsin regiment during
the civil war, and which was captured
and cared for with tender solicitude in
the statehouse for years afterward. The
title of the statue is ''The Genius of
Wisconsin" and is an admirable concep-
ton, executed with much skill if not
genius. It is said that Miss Mears had
never seen statue when she made her
design, but she has seen many since and
bids fair to become one of the most sue
cessful of the younger school of sculp-
tors.
Her first success gained for her the
notice of Augustus ST. Gaudens, the IA
nous New York sculptor, and at his in
vltation she worked in his studios for
moro than year. She was engaged dur
ing that time in working on the Logan
statue. A short time ago she sailed for
Paris, with a letter from Mr.. St. Gau-
dens to Mr.. MacMonnies, recommending
her to his care as one of the strongest
pupils he had ever had. Miss Mears was
accompanied by Miss Dodd Of Madison,
and she will study abroad for two years.
When she returns, she expects to settle

Both of these animals-Boolatsky and

American methods of raising, breaking

A year ago last summer two colts ap-
peared in the private stud of the grand

experiments in view. They were Boolatsky

Arab stallion Smetanka, imported in the
year 1875 by Count Orloff. They had de-

This is the opinion of the progressive
and accomplished Mrs Frank T. Lynch
who is the editor and proprietor of the
Leavenworth Daily Standard:
The impression that the Lawren CO
university is run by an old hen is gain
ing ground. Mrs. Clark's bloomer girls
we're to have given fencing exhibition
before an audience in the rink March IA.
This was made the occasion of an indoor
meeting of the university faculty. The
management had arranged to have
fencing drill during the evening by the
young women of the university. Mrs.
Clark had trained them in the ars of
fencing, and they had become quite ex-
pert at the play. They wear a loose
blouse, knee bIoomers and gymnasium
slippers while fencing. But the univer-
sity authorities frowned upon the
scheme and so it will not take place. The
girls will attend the meet. but they will
not wear boomers.
