they very soon demonstrated to him.
1t was quickly proven that his sense
of proportion was very much out of
plumb. In order to make this fact
plain, the commissioners took the
trouble to go home and measure with
a tape measure the members of their
own families. OF course, after this
showing, there was nothing for the
eminent sculptor to do but to with
draw all advice as gracefully as posi-
bic. As matter of record, the con-
tract was let to a cheaper man; but
when the figures were sent to the foun-
dry the proprietors of that institution
refused to cast them, so amateurish
was the work. The matter became
noised abroad in the public prints, and
by some happy chance reached the ears
of the authorities, who refused most
of the statues on the strength of the
general rumor. The others were
placed in position on the field, where
they viii doubtless remain until the
state or national Ruination park is es-
tablished.
