important sculpture competitions
are to be held in this city-the
Columbus memorial and the
Barry monument competitions.
The former will be held on the LIST and
the latter on the 31st of December
Six eminent sculptors were special
ly invited to compete for the Columbus
memorial, and. in addition to these. quite
number have signified their intention
of submitting models The Barry compe-
tition is restricted to 1rish-Amerlcan
sculptors. but will also, it is~thought, be
sharply contested. Where these compe-
titions will be held. the Corcoran Cal
lery, on account of its own exhibition Will
not be available. has not been decided,
but undoubtedly after the judges arrive
at a decision the models will be placed on
public exhibition. For both of these me-
MORALS appropriations were made by Con-
gress several years ago

1 trian statue will be added to the al

can boast arrangements having been
made for the unwilling of the statue of
Gen. Sheridan the last week in November.
This statue, which is to adorn Sheridan
Circle, is the work of Gutzon Borglum of
New York, and was commissioned only

The model which was approved by the
Sheridan monument commission in this
city last spring has been severely criti-
cized by some persons, whereas others
who have watched the development or
the work in the artists studio declare
that it is not only entirely satisfactory,
but epocal-making. The real test will
come when the statue is finally seen in
place. and the real proof whether or not
