Another Grand Monument to Wash

-ro the EdItor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Though the matter has been In hand for
several years, IL Is not as generally
known as II deserves to be, that a spicn-
did tribute - to be paid to the super
eminent greatness OF Virginia's Washing
ton that Will compare not unfavorabiy
with the magnificent group In our Capitoi
Square.
II is to be erected by the Pennsylvania
Society OF the Cincinnati, at an expendi-
ture Of $4,000 about the cost OF our
great equestrian statue and all its sur
roundlnes), and will he placed In beauti-
.ul Fairmount Park. In Philadelphia. The
monument will have frontage or 40 rect
a depth OF 10 feet, and viii be AZ feet high.
Ii will be surmounted by a superb eques-
trian statue OF the great Fairfax rider.
and will be encircled by a number OF
artistic and patriotic emblems and other
appropriate adJuncts.
Its erection has been delayed by some
contention among Its promoters as to the
best site for. II. But now there is a unity
of sentiment In favor OF the Green-Street
entrance TO Fairmount Park. and the com
missioners of that park have given their
consent TO have II placed there.
This Green-street entrance was the
place originally selected, and the eques-
TRAN statue and the base or the monu-
ment were brought from abroad as FAR
back as 1890 and deposited at that chosen
site, where they have been resting ever
since. Now the State Society OF the Gin
cinnati expect to proceed this spring
with the too long-delayed work, and TO
make IL one OF the most imposing strue-
lures of it's character ever erected. The
American Historical Register for Febru-
airy last has fine illustration OF the tout
ensemble of this generous memorial OF
immortal renown. borrowed. by courtesy
from the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

In gardens. fair beyond compare.
Where beauty dwelt in floral bliss.
The sky was clear. with scarce star,
But field and stream and distant wood,
The gardens near and hills afar.
The moon had bathed with silver flood.

While laddies brave and lassies fair

Nor needed time, nor thought Of care.
Too swiftly passed the moments few.
