FIRST STATUE IN THE U. S.
jackson Memorial, Designed ans
Erected by Sculptor Who Start
ed Life as PIasterer.

The Jackson statue, in Lafayette
park, Washington, was the first eques-
trian statue unveiled In the United
States. The famous statue of George
III, which the New York patriots pull
ed down in 1916 was built before there
was United States. The Jackson
statue was designed and erected by
Clark Mills, "self-made" sculptor,
who started life as a plasterer. He
had never seen an equestrian statue
before he started work on this one,
and the appliances Cor modelling and
casting were made by him. The metal
in the group is made of cannon cap
tured by Jackson from the British.
The equipoise of the group is per
feet. and no important balancing rods
are used TO keep the statue from top
ping. Mills claims that he had so
perfectly attained the center OF grav-
ity i'm the work that the group would
balance perfectly on the hind feet of
the rearing charger. This fact was
proved, but when the statue was erect
ed the hind feet of the horse were
bolted, or otherwise fastened, 10 the
base or pedestal, TO secure H. against
the possible effects OF high winds OF
other disturbing or mischieyous causes
