PRACTICALLY SETTLED
GRANT MEMORIAL TO BE ERECT
ED IN BOTANICAL GARDENS.
Members Prefer That Location to Any
Other Tho Sheridan
Statue Site.

Although not finally settled. II IL regarded
as moro than probable that the proposed
Grant memorial will be erected In the
Botanical Gardens. west of the Capitol AT
any rate, that IL the present plan OF the
Grant memorial commission. to which was
assigned the duty Of selecting q site and
arranging for the construction and erection
Of the memorial The commission has 40
cepted the design of Mr.. Frederick Mac
Monnies. the eminent American sculptor,
and has entered into contract with him
for the construction of the memorial.
Two sites were considered. one on the
ellipse south of the White House. and the
other In the Botanical Gardens, and the
members have practically decided in favor
OF the latter site. There may be some OPP
position on the part of the authorities OF
the Botanical Gardens to this use of that
reservation, but 1t is believed 1t Will not
suffice to Offset the authority conferred
upon the commission by the act of Congress
making provision for the memorial. 1t is
expected that the commission will meet in
a short time and take final slcNon in the
matter.
1t has been also practically settled that
the proposed statue OF General Sheridan
shall be erected in Sheridan Circle at the
intersection of Massachusetts avenue and
sd street. This location was selected by
the statue commission at the request OF
Mrs. Sheridan who gave 1t a decided pref
ernce over the alternative site In the Presi-
dents grounds. south of the State Depart
ment.
Other Memorials.
No definite action has yet been taken with
reference to the site Of the proposed statue
in memory OF Maj. Gen. Mcclellan, provision
for which was made by special act Of Con-
gress. approved March 3. 1901. 1t has been
suggested, however. that 1t be erected in
Franklin Square which, so far, Is without
a statue Of any kind. The committee of the
Society Of the Army Of the Potomac, which
Is Interested in this matter, has expressed
objection to the proposed placing of the
Mcclellan sta tue in either the reservation
south Of the White House or in the triangle
at Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street, in
front Of the National Theater.
Similar questions are also pending before
the authorities in regard to the statues OF
Pulaski and Won Steuben, provision for
which was made at the last regular session
of Congress. 1t is generally understood
however, that these statues will be placed
in Lafayette Square, one on the northeast
corner and the other on the northwest cor
ner, as companion pieces to the statues of
Lafayette and Rochambeau on the two
southern corners of that square. The COM
mission charged with the settlement Of
these questions with respect to the Pulaski
and Won Steuben statues will meet at the
War Department In few days

Society Interested
 In the Horse Show.

As the date for the opening of the Bir-' mingham horse show draws near, society, like that in other horse show cities, is taking the greatest interest in the event and will be brilliantly in evidence on the opening night of the show.
 The boxes will be auctioned at the Hill man one evening this week, the auction to be held in the foyor, where the ladies enjoying the music in the palm garden may incidentally see the boxes disposed of for Birmingham's first horse show.
