from the state of North Carolina for a
statue Of Washington. The figure is of
the ancient Roman school and is seat
ed, stylus in hand. There is a toga on
Washingtonis shoulder and sandals on
his feet, and his appearance is that of
a Roman soldier. A sword lies on the
plinth- AS a work Of art the statue has
great merit, but nobody would ever

statue of Washington on Wall street,

One of the first equestrian statues of
the immortal George erected in this
country stands on Pennsylvania av-
enue, Washington, and is the work of
Clark Mills. The action of the legs of
the horse is unequaled in any similar
statue in America, but other parts Of
the work are not considered good, and
as q whole the statue is not a great
work of art. Of about the same merit
is Thomas Crawford's equestrian statue
in Richmond Va. The French Potter
equestrian statue recently erected in
Paris has merit. The horse by Potter
is good, but the pose of Washington is
that of pompous actor. Daniel Ches-
ter French is a sculptor of splendid
genius and unquestioned ability, but in
this statue he has placed his subject in
an impossible position. There was
