Municipal Art Society. who was chosen last sum
mer by the committee as consulting architect,
and seven competitors were invited to submit
models. The sum OF $500 was allowed to each
one for the work on his design. which then no.
came the property Of the committee, and it was
decided that the successful competitor should
receive an additional bonus of 800 When the
models were completed, in the early part OF Sep
TENDER. they were set up on the third floor of
the Arsenal, and no one was allowed TO see them
except the members OF the committee, who were
not informed as to the makers of the various de-
signs.
Then the struggle began. Meeting after meet
ing was held behind closed doors. without def.
mite result. The members OF the committee.
which was composed OF Mayor Strong. Comp
troller Fitch, Recorder Goff. Gen. Coils. Presi.
dent Mcmillan OF the Park Board, and Joseph
A. Goulden, Chairman of the Memorial Com
mittee of the G. A. R., viewed the models fire.
Quently, but the inspection OF them did not
seem to aid the critics in their task. Finally
the trip to Gettysburg vas suggested and un-
taken because the Mayor thought that an in
spcction OF the memorials erected on the great
battlefield would help him and his colleagues to
make an intelligent selection. But when they
returned they seemed to be further away than
ever from a settlement OF the question, and the
Mayor announced that additional models would
probably be asked for.
At the next meeting OF the committee. how
ever, a definite agreement was reached TO the
effect that some action would be taken on Fri.
day. Oct. D.. regarding the models already sub
mitted. and when the committee got together in
the Arsenal on that day ii was decided Ia choose
either one or the other OF the designs submitted
by Mr.. Dodge, the choice being left 10 him. The
committee will meet for the last time to'mor-
row 10 go through The formality OF r~atifying the
selection of Mr.. Dodge.

British Tramp WIIdersPooI Comes In from
JAVA with n Fish story.

When the British tramp steamer Wilders-
pool, from Java, sugar laden. arrived here
yesterday Capt. Japp had a fish story to tell.
Last Sunday night was dark, very dark. In
lat. IS. SO ", long. 7O.55 w. the wind was com.
ing in a gale out OF the northeast. The seas
ran high, and seemed to be getting higher and
higher as Capt. Japp stood on the bridge and
watched his craft plunge through them
heavily. The decks were frequently awash.
When Capt. Japp was pecring out into the ex.
ceeding darkness and keeping himself all ears
for any sound that BODIED Ill. he heard now and
again as the forward deck was swept by the
big waves. a Tapping ard smashing which he
thought indicated that some sail had broFen
loose and was beating about the deck. He or.
dcred the crew forward to take care OF 1t, and
when they had gone there their exclamation,
which reached his ears through.thc darkness,
brought him down 10 find out just what had
happened.
Hopping about on the deck he saw an eleven.
foot shark which the seas had cast there as the
steamer plunged and pitched and rolled
among them. The fsh's great jaws opened
and closed as 1t was thrown by its own strug.
giles and the vessels motion from point TO point
OF the deck, and the crew, watching attentive
ly these forc!ble reminders that life is short.
executed some admirable quicksteps on the
briny boards. One Of them stood as II charmed
or dazed, unable, apparently, to move a muscle.
why don't you take hold OF III" Capt. Japp
shouted at this one. You look as II you were
afraid"
The sailorman reused himself. and pulling
himself together, made an effort to grab the
shark, but he was thrown to the deck. The
enormous jaws snapped again and again. and
the men fell back, loath 10 help them to a
mouthful. Eight of the crew finally set about
a siege. and made at the shark in earnest. After
n severe battle the shark was beaten and cap.
tured. and on the following day il was cut up.
