Occasionally the speaker would indulge
IN flights Of oratory but generally the

applause long drawn out att.the pfonI

a Beautiful Statue by Sir Moses
Ezekiel.
The New Market battle manument Is
entirely original throughout, The statue
of Virginia mourning her dead, which
Is In the best standard bronze, was fur
nished by Moses Ezikel, who was cadet
at the v. NJ. 7.
The pedestal is made OF Confederate
gray Richmond granite. and is the orlgl-
nished the plans and built the monument
complete; the bottom base measures s
feet by feet s inches square. and from
this projects a mound one foot high by
about is feet square; the pedestal reaches
height OF u feet above the mound
The bronze statue adds 7 feet 6 more to
this height. making total height OF q
little over 20 feet. On the first die, where
PANEL is shown. there appears two bronze
pannels. one on tho front and one on the
back. and on the upper de, there appears
large pannels Of the best standard
bronze s.5xss, with the names Il, n raised 90

Market, May Is. 1864
The pedestal. as we'll as the beautiful
statue. has been considered a very ex-
ceptional fine work of art. The proper
tions are considered to be as near per-
feet as could be we'll gotten UP. The
bronze pannels show frame work OF
about 10 inches OF the natural rock face
granite. while all of the other parts of
the pedestal is fine cut granite. which
goes to make up a most beautiful plo-
lure, It stands Just In front of the Jack
son arch ana faces the parade ground.
