GREEN MEMORIAL DESIGN.
Statue, Coionnade and Columns at Seventh

Statue, COionnade and Columns at Seventh
Ave. Entrance to Central Park North.
Tho executive committee of the Andrew
H. Green Memorial Association decided last
night upon the entrance to Central Park at
10th street and Seventh avenue as the
most desirable site for the monument to
be erected to the memory Of the Father of
Greater New York" A general design,
the composite work OF nine artists, arch-
tects and sculptors. was also adopted for
the memorial.
At each side of the entrance to the
Park it is proposed to erect huge pylon
Of granite or marble, from thirty to forty
fest high, to be topped by foiated orna-
ment OF bronze and probably an eagle
with outspread wings. The monument
proper, a;figure Of Mr.. Green, in bronze
Of heroic size, wifi stand in the Park itself
with the towering hill to the south OF the
driveway as a background. Joining the
pillars will be "a oolonnade extending around
the rear Of the statue. the whole forming
. semicircle and closing the vista Of Seventh
avenue. The colonnade will be OF classic
design. The monument from the base
Of the pedestal will be upward Of eight cen
feet high. None OF the sculptural details
udNc yCt Dctu bctldeu uPoHt Dui tutIt
will probably be fountain near the
statue.
The site was chosen in preference to sew
eral others because Mr.. Green had been
one of the original commissioners appointed
to lay out Central Park and because of the
deep interest he took in developing gener-
ally the upper part of the old city of New
York. It was he who fathered the scheme
for cutting through the Riverside d rive, and
It was he who prevented the cutting in two
Of the area Of Central Park when 1t was
proposed to abandon the northern half
and develop the territory south OF Seventy
second street only. He was also active in
the work OF securing the Jumel property
for public park. For these reasons it was
thought that the memorial should be erected

LONDON, Oct. IA despatch to the

anese advices have been received to the
effect that in addition to sending two fresh
divisions to Laoyang and many contin-
gents to Port Arthur and elsewhere, Japan
has sent division to Gensan. Corea. to
which place another division will be sent.
It is declared that these divisions will
make a demonstration from Possiet Bay
against vladivostok. Correspondents and
attaches have been allotted to this force,
but it is probable that Saghalien. and not
Vladivostok, is the real objective.
The despatch adds that an immense
number OF sick and wounded have been
taken back to Japan. 1t is stated that
there are $4,000 in the Kobe district alone.
All the temples and hospitals are full, but
there is little difficulty in obtaining any
number of men to serve at the front. The
supply seems to be practically limitless.
