individual contributors with which to

The building OF the monument was

from many submitted, Is by Willard

Monument Worthy One.

The monument itself is well worthy
Of the efforts of the men whose pa
tience. perseverance and devotion to
the cause made II possible. These
men. the members of the Cape Cod
Memorial association, began their la
bors when the association was incor-
porated by the Massachusetts legisla-
ture in 1892. The incorporators named
in the act were James Hughes Hop
kins. James Clifford. Artemas p. Han.
mum. Howard F. Hopkins and Joseph
n. Dyer. all Of Provincetown, their
associates and successors.
For many years Cape Cod folk had
hoped that Provincetown's claim TO be
the first landing place Of the pilgrims
might be made manifest by the cree
ton of a monument attesting the fact.
but no successful organized movement
was launched prior TO tbe incorpora-
tion Of the body named. During the
first ten years of the corporation the
movement dragged. the fund for the
purpose reaching only S2.500. but In
1902 the Massachusetts legislature
agreed TO give S25.000 for the pur-
pose provided the association should
have raised similar sum within three
wears.
Subscriptions came in slowly during
the specified time. and the association
