represent Capt Poole opposed postpone
ment of the hearing Mr.. McNamara
characterized the proceedings as an un-
heard Of venture OF novelty, in juris-
prudence, and declared the delay would
operate as an injunction. He said Capt.
POoles answer set up all the informa-
ton needed for the purposes OF the hear
ing, and that Mr.. Syme had ten days in
which to prepare his argument. Mr.
Mcnamara also informed the court that
the contract for the erection Of the statue
had been let with a time limit, in Au-
gust next, and that there was already
on the ground material for the memorial
which should be assembled with expedi-
ton TO prevent damage. Mr.. Mcnamara
also contended the court was being asked

branch Of the government and TO arrest
the action of the commission, which had
been created and empowered by Con-

The commission which has charge OF
the erection of the memorial originally
consisted Of three members-Gen Gren-
vile NJ. Dodge. chairman; Secretary of

Rhode Island. AS the latter's term in
the Senate expired on March 1 last, his
membership on the commission expired
with it, and the commission now con-
sists of but two members.
The trees stand on the east side OF the
gardens, and II was proposed to have the
pedestal of the statue stand nearly fifty
yards on each side Of the walk. The
site was selected by three members of
the park commission.

He has appeared in Richmond several
