Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-04-19

since his death Is shown by the vast
crowds which visit the little tomb ~
which his remains now rest. On Easter
Sunday the police of Riverside park es-
timated that between $4,000 and 2O,0OQ
persons crowded during the day around
the small tomb. 1t Is very seldom thaf
less than 10000 persons visit the spot on
Sunday when the weather is far. ana
when the mausoleum Is completed 1t IL
certain to rank in popular interest with
the tomb of Napoleon in the Ipvalldes,
which cost 100000 francs, more than
double what the completed Grant monu-
ment will cost, and the latter promises
in every way to be superior.
Eighty Thousand Contributors.
The records of the association show
that more than $4,000 persons contributed
to the 5000, 900 fund raised for building
the monument. The smallest contrlbu-
ton Is | cent and the largest $4,000. The
average is $3.50 and all but $4,000 was
contributed by citizens of New YORK,
Brooklyn, Chicago and Washington con
trbuted the bulk of the $4,000.
One of the great features Of the monu-
ment and one which will give New York
a fair rival 10 the beautiful Champs Ely
sees of Paris, will be the approach to the
mausoleum. AS the monument rests on a
high hill it affords a splendid opportu-
nifty for a magnificent approach ana TINS
has been taken advantage of In the plan
of the supervising architects
The approach begins at Amsterdam
avenue. and up to the boulevard Is us
feet long. The boulevard is $50 feet wide.
The entire breadth of the approach Is $50
feet, with broad sidewalks on either side
and a carriage drive in the center. The
rise to the boulevard Us quite gradual,
being only 20 feet In the total length Of
775 feet. There is a steep slope of about
80 feet rising from the boulevard to Riv-
erside drive.
Beautiied by Statues.
At the point where the proposed avenue
crosses the boulevard is a wide plaza.

and in the rough waters frequented by
British yachts she is counted upon to
show a clean pair of heels to anything
now on that side of the water.
Emperor William will not sail the
yacht, but has placed her in charge of
Richard G.. Allen, one of the cleverest
amateurs on the Clyde. He can be count
blow high or blow low, and will not scru-
pie to beat the Prince of Wales Britain
MIA If it is in the Meteor to do it.
The prince, it is said, is waiting for the
trial spin of the Meteor with more ankle
ty and curiosity than he generally dis
plays. He has not that affection for his
nephew which generally exists between
uncle and nephew, and IL Williams yacht
should beat the Britannia Wales will a t
once place an order for new boat. The
Meteor will be raced altogether this sea-
son in English waters, although Emper-
or William has not arranged for any visit
to his English cousins. He could not very
we'll do this until all danger of trouble
between England and the Beers in the
TransvaalN bad passed.
There has been some talk to the effect
that If the Meteor makes a remarkably
good showing the emperor will challenge
with her for the Americas cup in 1897
There is not much hope of this being true,
however, as no one is apt to be foolhardy
enough to match an 1896 boat against an
1897 American boat.
With ogden Goelet's twenty-rater Sam
phire and Howard Gould's twenty-rater
Niagara in English waters, and the posi-
bility of Defender going there, America
will be well represented in the foreign
yachting world, and is certain to capture
many prizes, notwithstanding the injured
feelings of Lord Dunraven.
