ANTRIM.
The striking poverty in Belfast In
the way of public monuments, COM
memorating the careers of illustrious
Ulster men, is one of the common
place commentaries of visitors to the
capital of the North. Its only existing
public statues are those of two bel
lcose divines, whose aggressive Pro-
testantism formed that pre-eminent
claim to these post-mortem memories.
At last, however, a bronze statute is to
be erected to the late Lord Duferin,
Of which the sculptor is to be Mr.. P.
w. Pomeroy, and the work (Which will
be finished in two years time) will
cost $4,000. Lord Dufferin will be
represented in his robes as Knight
of st. Patrick, and the statue will be
placed on a massive base, and sur
mounted by canopy resting on Ionic
columns, bearing on top dome, in
which will rest a figure of Fame with
an uplifted torch and palm. At op-
posite corners of the base will be
figures of Canada and India, over
which Lord Dufferin ruled; while on
the other sides will be panels bearing
Lord Dufferin's name and titles. The
entire structure will be 30 feet high
and it is to be erected on the Done
gall Square West side of the new
City Hall

and while Mr.. Kilbride's sentence was
confirmed, that of Mr.. O'Sullivan was
reduced. Since he observed the an
nouncement of the arrest Of Mr. Kill

to enter the Mansion House to attend
the meeting, two detectives Informed
him that they had warrant for his
arrest. Mr.. O'Sullivan protested
against such proceeding taking
place outside the building and under
