IMPOSING MONUMENT
PLASTER MODEL OF MCCLELLAN
EQUESTRIAN GROUP.

The Secretary Of State has received dis
patch from Mr.. Frank III. Mason United
States consul general at Paris, in regard to
the model in plaster of the equestrian group
of the monument of Gen. George B. Nc
Clelian, to be reproduced in bronze and
erected on the reservation at the intersec-
ton of Connecticut avenue and 18th and
streets This model Is the work of
Frederick MacMonnies, the American
sculptor, and was prepared in his studio In
Paris.
Acting under special instructions from the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Mason recently Wis.,
tied the studio and examined the model. He
was accompanied by Gen. Lucfus Warren.
a personal friend of Gen Mcclellan, and
who has been prominently identified from
the first with the work of the Mcclellan
statue commission.
we found the model of the equestrian
group finished says Consul General Ma
son. "and in full accordance with the speci-
fcations. 1t Is In every respect a noble
spirited ana imposing monument, which will
not only fifty commemorate the eminent SOL
der whom it represents, but will be an Or
nament to the capital and a. credit to the
association which has authorized its crea-
ton. The horse, which is superbly mod
eled, stands on base of rising ground, so
that the one forward hoof which rests upon
the earth is seven inches higher than the
feet in height from the shoe of the front
foot. The head and face of the statue form
portrait of Gen. Mcclellan so life-like
that Mrs. Mcclellan, widow of the general
who saw 1t recently, expressed herself en-
Stirely satisfied with it and the work as
whole. Gen. Warren is equally cordial and
unqualified in his approval. and / have no
hesitation in reporting that the model In its
present condition fulfills faithfully and ade-
quately the terms of the contract under
which 1t was undertaken.
Dissatisfaction Expressed.
Several veterans of the civil war who
served under Gen. Mcclellan are dissatis-
fed with one alleged feature of MacMon-
MES model of, the statue of Little Mac and
have appealed to Mayor Mcclellan of New
York, son of Gen. Mcclellan, to aid them
IN having 1t corrected. Their objection to
the design applies to the headgear the gem
eral is to wear It is pointed out that in
the model Mcclellan wears a siouch hat
when as a matter of fact he had never worn
a head covering of that kind during all
his service in the federal army. Several
officers who had been accustomed to seeing
him every day in active service declared
that he always wore cap of the French
chasseur pattern and that the SLOUGH hat
did not come into use until after Little Mac
had resigned his command They contend
that 1t would be a blunder to cast the statue
after the present model.
1T would be manifestly wrong to picture
Gen. Mcclellan wearing hat of that kind =
said one of the officers. ITO some this may
seem a small detail, but to all soldiers and
veterans especially those who We're close
to the general, the statue woud be any
thing but satisfactory. AS ong as a large
sum of money Is to be expended on the
why 1t should not be correct in such de-
tail"

A GREAT MUSICAL EVENT.
Coming of the Norwegian Student Singers
of Christiana on June 18th, After
noon and Evening,
Great Treat.

Few if any cities in the United
States the size of Decorah, and we
think there are none, will have an op-
portunity to hear in concert the Nor
wegian student singing chorus from
the University of Christiana, which
is now touring Amer ica, and will be
here on the afternoon Of June 18th
in the Luther College auditorium and
in the evening in the Grand opera
house. This chorus of sixty talented
voices has for years been famous the
world over as one of the finest in ex-
istence, and the enchanting melody of
their beautiful voices, trained so
perfectly that their singing seems as
a great organ, will be heard b. crowds
that will tax the capacity of these
houses. Were it not for the fact that
there are so many Scandinavians in
this section, and that the college and
other institutions are located here, we
should be passed by without notice.
AMI besides all this, we owe to few
energetic Scandinavians who have
taken the matter in hand, the privilege
and honor of this visit of these world
musicians.

BIG DAY AT LUTHER COLLEGE.
18th of May Celebration one of the
largest and Most Enthusiastic
Ever Held Here.

A large and happy crowd of people
participated in the annual celebration
of the 18th of May, Norwegian Inde-
pendence Day, at Luther College on
last Wednesday. While the weather
was inclement, yet it was more pleas
ant than for several days previous, and
passed without rain.
The program in the morning was
carried out as had been announced
and included an address in English
by Rev. o. Otterson of Cresco, one
in Norwegian by Rev. Thos. Nilsson
Of Ridgeway and speech in Sogne
dialect by NJ. E. Fretheim, interspersed
with music by the college band and
glee club. 1t was an occasion for the
annual renewal of friendships, for
lessons in patriotism and for remem-
brance of the history of their mother
country.
About 10: 80 the special excursion
train arrived from Northfield, Mimi.
having five coaches filled with people
from that city, including their base
ball team.
At one O'Clock in the afternoon the
second nine of Luther College played
ball game with Gale College of
Galesville, Wis. Sigurd Reque, who
is an instructor there, pitched and
the game was close one. At the end
of the ninth inning it stood 4 to 4 and
the game was called at this time, as
large crowd, estimated up to 1000
people, had gathered to see the great
event of the day, the ball game between
Luther College and ST. Olaf College
of Northfield, Mimi. The St. Olaf
team had been training especially un-
der professional coach for this game,
and Luther was just as anxious to
win. 1t proved to be one of the best
games ever played Cn the home
grounds. In the first inning, with the
visitors at bat, they got two safe hits
but could not score. Then Luther
came in and made a score through
errors by the visitors. Again in the
third Luther scored on hit and two
errors, and from that time on no runs
were made, the game ending to 0 in
favor of Luther. Several times the
bases were filled, but excellent work
on the part of the pitchers, both of
whom played splendid game, saved
a score. 1t was a game that will long
be remembered by those who saw it,
The days exercises closed with an
open air concert on the campus in the
evening, which was attended by
large number, and the excuTsionists
from Northfield left at ten O'Clock,
having spent very pleasant day, be-
ing delighted with the entertainment
they received.
