SECRETARY TAFTS TRIP.
VIII Inspect Model of the Sheridan
Statue While in New York

Secretary Taft left here early this morn.
Ing for New York for the purpose of meet.
ing the members of the Prison Shin Mar
tyrs' Monument Association, of which he
is member, and also for the purpose Of
inspecting a model of the equestrian
statue of Gen. Philip II. Sheridan, TO be
erected in this city in Sheridan circle.
which model was designed and prepared
by Mr.. ]. Q. A. Ward and is now in his
studio at 1l9 West sd street, New York
city.
The persons Interested in the Sheridan
statue are openly dissatisfied with the
SLOW rate of progress of Mr. Wards s work
on TINS statue. An agreement was en-
tered into by Gen Fullerton of the Society
OF the Army of the Cumberland with Mr.
Ward April 2S. 1892, for the construction
or a statue of Gen. Sheridan, and he has
since been paid about s., 800 on account A
year or so afterward Mr.. Ward submitted
a model or the statue which was accept
able to the statue commission, but the
sculptor subsequently became dissatisfied
with his work and destroyed it. Since
then the authorities have been unable to
get any definite information from tho
sculptor regarding the condition of his
work, further than that he intended to
make the statue the work of his life and
do no more work of that kind.
several years ago Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the statue and designated the
Secretary of Ware, the chairman of the
joint committee of library and the chair
man of the Sheridan committee of the So
ciety of the Army of the Cumberland to
take charge of the erection of the statue.
There is also available about 81 800 con-
tributed by the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland.
1t is reported that the sculptor has at
last nearly completed a second model of
the equestrian group and it was at the
request of Mrs. Sheridan that Secretary
Taft and Senator Wetmore of the statue
commission agreed to visit the artists
studio In New York to inspect the model
and determine what further action shall
be taken in the matter to insure the erec-
ton of the statue within a reasonable
limit of time.
The monument to the soldiers and SAIL
ors who persisted on English ships in New
York harbor will be erected at Fort Green,
Brooklyn. The members of the commits
sion, in addition to Secretary Taft. are
Gov. Higgins of New York, Mayor Nc
Clellan Of New York city and President
