GENERAL GRANT.
An Equestrian Statue ofan Illustrious
American Unvailed at Philadelphia,
Yesterday,

Philadelphia, Pa, April Pin the
presence Of President Mckinley and his
wife, members of his cabinet. three
generations of Gen. U. S. Grants fam
lily and great crowd of people, Miss
Rosemary Sartoris. granddaughter of
Gen. Grant, to-day unveiled an heroic
equestrian statue Of her illustrious
grandfather in Paramount Park.
Although the day was not holiday
In honor of the event, there was great
outpouring of patriotic citizens.
Flags were everywhere displayed
throughout the city and all the ships
In the harbor were gaily dressed in
colors.
This city each year commentaries
the birthday of Gen. Grant, but never
did it celebrate it as it did to-day. The
day was beautiful. The morning broke
dull and gray and gave every indication
Of rain. but early the sun came out and
its warm rays were never again crossed
BIZ clouds during the day.
President and Mrs. Mckinley en-
1oyed themselves immensely during
their outing to-day. Everywhere they
were warmly greeted by the people, to
which both of them graciously re-
sponded. The President showed no
signs of his recent slight indisposition.
Next to the President and his wife,
Mrs. Grant and Miss Sartoris shared
the attention of the people, and they,
too, were eheered everywhere they were
recognized. The unwilling was great
success In every way; not an accident
married the occasion, nor was there a
hitch at any time during the day.
The statue is located in a beautiful
spot along the east drive OF the Schuyl-
kill river, in Paramount Park. 1t is the
gift Of the Paramount Park Art Asso-
citation to the people of Philadelphia.
The gallant little cruiser Raleigh
now lying in the Delaware river Off
this city was not lost sight of during
tho unwilling ceremonies. All day long
great crowds visited the river near
where the cruiser is lying and hun
drcds OF people paid visit on board
and were shown about the vessel. The
only active part the cruiser took in the
ceremonies of the day was the firing of
! salute as the monument was unveiled.
The Grant monument as It cow
stands is exactly the same size as the
one in Union Square. New York. 1t
Wa designed by Daniel Chester French
and Edward c. Potter, both American
artists. The former modelled the fig
