STATUE By Mr.. ELWELL.
"The Flag" Placed on Vicksbmrg
Battlefield by Rhode Island.

F. Edwin Elwell, formerly curator of sculpture of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art. returned to his
studio in Weehawken yesterday from a visit to the
battlefield of Vicksburg Miss. where his bronze
statue The Flag erected recently by the
state of Rhode Island. 1t viii be dedicated with
elaborate ceremonies in October
Mr.. Elwell brought with him photograph show
ing the statue in place the battlefield. near the
monument erected by the State of New York. An
other photograph of the statue seen recently
by President Roosevelt who remarked: ut is full
of action and spirit. I know Mr.. Elwe1 and his
work.
The statue is the result of competition held at
the State House, Providence, two years ago,
in which twenty-eght scuIptors took part The
commission-Judge Nathan 3. Lewis. William P.
Hopkins and Elisha Knight-unanimously accepted
Mr.. Elwells design. because. they said in their
report, 1T has idea in it, typifying the valor
and nobility of the common soldier, who gave his
life for the Union"
The story told by the statue is that the color
bearer having been shot, and. falling on the staff.
snapped it off. a private of the famous 7th Rhode
Island Infantry rushed in. grasped what was left
of the staff and fag and carried it into the thick
of the fight.
Mr.. Elwell says he tried to depict not only the
glory itself but the fact that the soldier
boy knew he was going to certain death.
