The long-drawn-out controversy,
which, at one time, was by no means
devoid of bitterness, over the PROPOSE
ton to honor the memory of Nathan
Hale by erecting a statue Of him on
the grounds of Yale University, seems
likely to come to a peaceful end to-
ward the last of this month, when, &C
cording to present Indications, a
bronze statue of the hero-martyr of
the American revolution will be TN
yelled on the green. with imposing
ceremonies.
The statue decided upon is the work
of William Ordway Partridge of New
York. 1t has been completed in clay
and will shortly be cast in bronze.
Critics who have seen the statue speak
fayorably of it, and one of the num-
bel expresses the opinion that st en-
bodies more perfectly the spirit, and
portrays more nobly the manliness of
Nathan Hale, than any other repre-
seNtation of him in existence" This
is high praise for the statue of Hale,
by Frederick MacMonnies, which
stands in City Hall Park, New York,
and is one of the best examples of that
accomplished sculptor's work. Mr..
Partridge himself considers his statue
of Hale his masterpiece.
Modelling a statue of Nathan Hale
was to Mr.. Partridge labor of love-
The work, which occupied much of his
time during a period of upward of two
years, was carried on with an enthu-
siasm that never tagged. The finished
and accepted statue has grown from
two or three models. The sculptor had
ever before him in his minds eye the
