The queen mother. though In many

dressed as befitted a queen. Her ward

Though no longer fit for a queen,

Fund for Erection of Memorial to Deac
Statesman Raised by His Neigh
bors in Less Than
Week.

Worcester, Mass.-The George FRS
bic Hoar memorial statue, which is to
be placed on the common somewhere
near the city hall in few months, Is
rapidly being completed under the dl-
rection of the sculptor, Daniel Chester
French, at Glendale 1t Is to he erect
ed by the citizens of the ho.i,e city OF
the former senator.
The plaster cast in accordance with
which the statue itself is to be MADE
varies little except in size from the
model first shown to the trustees
nothing important having been chang
ed after the sculptor's first idea was
presented for the boards approval.
AS the statue is that Of seated hg-
ure, complications of choice regarding
It's position are expected to arise,
Those in special interest make no pre-
diction as to what part of the common
the statue will occupy, but there is
general opinion that its environment
should be a matter of selection after
the full effect of the completed me-
mortal can be studied.
The sculptor's commission calls for
the delivery of the statue by October
Of this year, and the progress Of the
work at the sculptor's summer studio
gives assurance that the memorial will
be ready for dedication at the time eX-
pected for the exercises.
The George Frisbie Hoar memorial
fund was raised in about a week On
May 25, 1905, Mayor Walter II. Blod-
gett called a meeting in his office to
talk over plans for the memorial. The
spirit OF the meeting was unanimous
for the erection OF the memorial, so
the following board of trustees was
chosen: Mayor Walter II. Blodgett,
the Rev. Thomas Griffin, Matthew j.
