Lincoln Modelled at Cornish

In conclusion it may be of interest
to refer to Cornish, or Windsor, VT,
the postoffice for the New Hamp-
shire town, for Saint-Gaudens writes
in his autobiography, edited by his
son, Homer Saint Gaudens:
$50 during the summer of my ar
rival lat Cornish] and in the 100
year-old barn of the house, made
my sketch Of the standing Lincoln,
and for seated Lincoln, which was
my original idea, as well as another
sketch. had several assistants with
me, Mr. Frederick Macmonnies, Mr..
Philip Martiny, besides my brother,
Mr.. Louis Saint and we
worked on until November"
The completed model of the statue
Of Lincoln stands in the big studio
at Cornish and faces the entrance
to the building.

IA DENs' famous statue of
< "A Abraham Lincoln, a rep
lica of the sculptor's Lin
coin designed for Lincoln Park, Chi
cago. will be unveiled and dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies within
the Canning inclosure and facing
historic Westminster Abbey, Lon
don. next Wednesday.
The gift of the Saint -Gaudens
statue of Lincoln has been made by
Americans to the British govern
ment, and the presentation address
will be made by the Hon. Elihu Root,
of New York, on behalf of the donors
of the statue Of the Great Emancipa-
tor. The British Prime Minister has
been asked to accept the statue for
the people of Great Britain, and the
Duke of Connaught, president of the
Anglo-American Society, will unveil
the figure of Lincoln, which was re-
Gently recast for this occasion in
America.
1t will be an event Of interna-
honal interest, and should tend to
strengthen the bonds and ties of the
two great English-speaking races Of
the world.
Recalls Controversy
The advent Of Saint-Gaudens'
Lincoln in London within the shad-
ows Of picturesque Westminster
Abbey, where the figure of the illus
trious American will stand, recalls
the spirited controversy waged some
time ago in art circles over the Lin
coin designed by Saint-Gaudens and
the figure modelled of Lincoln by
George Grey Barnard.
The observation-disclosures con-
troversy was not only spirited but
heated at certain stages of the de-
bate between art critics and writers
and members of various art associa-
tons, including the National Acad-
eny of Design and the New York
Society Of Fine Arts.
1t is needless to go into the merits
Of this controversy at the present
time, for the subject has been amply
covered in the past, but perhaps a
brief statement of some facts of the
case may be of interest and apropos
on the eve of the unveiling Of the
Saint-Gaudens Lincoln in London.
This information was obtained from
an authoritative source and reveals
how, after the controversy had sub
sided as to the virtues of the two
statues, the friends of the Saint
Gaudens Lincoln quietly took up the
task of raising funds and other Incl
dentals pertaining to the memorial,
and finally completed the undertake
ing which gave the British metrop-
oils figure Of the great American.
Original Proposal
It was found when the original
proposal was made for statue of
Lincoln by saint-Gaudens, to be
erected in Canning Square, London,
that only part of the offer practi-
cally had been accepted by the COM
mittee in charge of the memorial.
In some mysterious way and with
out the action Of the full committee
Of the Lincoln Memorial, or only
small fraction thereof, an offer was
submitted to furnish free of charge
to the committee replica of the
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25
In the Canning Enclosure

The figure Of Lincoln will be
placed within the Canning inclos-
ure, and it will be, when mounted
upon the pedestal, about the same
height as the Canning statue, the
two statues being about eighty feet
apart.
The site is surrounded by trees,
and directly opposite Saint-Gau-
dens' figure of the American Presi-
dent is Westminster Abbey.
It is announced that a public
meeting will take place in the Gen.
trail Hall at Westminster, where the
presentation speech will be delivered
by the Hon. Elihu Root.
Thus the figure Of the "Great
Emancipator,' designed by Saint
Gaudenss will take its place in Can
ming inclosure, London, and by
many artists the statue is considered
fine and digniied type of sculp-
ture. Lincoln is portrayed standing,
and it is a we'll known fact that
Saint-Gaudens made numerous care
full studies Of the figure before the
completion of his task, and these
studies exist to-day.
The pedestal Of the Saint-Gaudens
Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago, is
somewhat lower than the pedestal
designed by Messrs. McKim, Mead
& White for the London monument,
fer IN the Western city the ap-
proach to the figure is by a terrace.
AS the figure Of Lincoln in Lon-
don stands not far from another
statue it was proposed to make the
height uniform, so as 20 correspond
with the statue of Canning.
The Saint-Gaudens studio at
Cornish, N. H., is about five miles
from the postoffice of Windsor, Vt,
up in the hills of the Granite State
and in the center of colony of

graph Of him in the studio Of James
Earle Fraser in Macdougal Alley
while the sculptor was on visit to
New York. Fraser studied with
Saint-Gaudens.
The photograph is one of several
which met with approval from the
subject When SaintZaudens de-
sired change from his studios
among the New Hampshire hills he
visited New York, and often was
welcome guest in the atelier Of some
fellow sculptor. He took an interest
in his pupils and their work. and
sometimes in spirit of humc~ he
made caricatures of them, for he
evidently found amusement in illus
trating letters to his friends with
sketches introduced between the
lines. One Of these letters Is dated
Aspect, Windsor, VT, January 18,
1901, and is addressed to James Wall
Finn, and is signed Augustus Saint
Gaudens, with a goblet in hand and
the words Here's to you all" Other
caricatures were made by Saint
Gaudens of Max6eld Parrish, Henry
Herring, Macmonnies and James
Earle Fraser. The sculptor greatly
admired Robert Louis Stevenson,
and he writes Of meeting Stevenson
upon his arrival in America on his
way to the Adirondacks. He mod
eled a bass-relief of Stevenson in
1887. Referring to this work he
says:
while modelling the relief Of the
Stevenson I had in my studio an
other absorbing portrait, a bust Of
General Sherman, the chance TO
make which Whitelaw Reid had been
instrumental in obtaining for me.
"This task was also a labor Of
love-" adds the sculptor, "for the
general had remained in my eye as
the typical American soldier ever
since l had formed that idea Of him
during the Civil War"

a UGUSTUS SAINT-GAU-
II DENS, from q picture
taken shortly before his
death

enabled him to seize upon the sig
nifcant elements of personality, to
present to US the man. He showed
it conclusively in so early work as
the Farragut. He showed it again,
and with ampler maturity, in that
august figure of Lincoln, grandly
dignifed, austerely simple, sorrow
fully human, risen from the chair
of state that marks the office, but
about to speak as q man to men, his
head bent and worn face filled with
sense of power, but even more
with the sadness Of responsibility
filled above all with a yearning, ten
der passion of sympathy and love-"
Such was Kenyon Cox's tribute to
the genius Of Saint-Gaudens.

RIOT At BANK DOOR.
Foreign Depcsitors at Philadelphia Alarm-
ed by Rumors, Bring Police Ont.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.--Five thousand
persons. most Of them foreigners, jammed
the street in front Of the Pennsylvania
Bank and Trust Company, Monday
struggling TO get To the paying tellers
window
The banks foreign-born deposltors
took fright at rumor, which banking
officials believe was malicious, TO the effect
that downtown firm had borrowed $780,
900 from tho bank and was on the point
Of going into bankruptcy.
Police reserves charged tho crowd 10
clear way in front OF the bank, and then
threw depositors who had won their way
into the building out into the street, 80
that the bank could pay off depositors in
an orderly manner.
J. S. Riley, State Bank Examiner,
explained that the bank was solvent,
but this had little effect on the crowd.
Julian Dombra, President. was called
from sick-bed by news Of the run and
worked all day at the bank in spite OF n
high fever.
There were thirty people waiting short
ly after s o'clock for the bank 10 open. The
line grew rapidly and by 0 o'clock the
streets were so damned that cars could
not run.
The police could not handle the crowds
and an emergency call was sent 10 the
Traffic Squad The mounted men formed
in line and pushed their horses into the
crowd When the patrolmen Of foot had
elected the hundreds who swarmed int
the bank as soon as the doors were opened
a line was formed and the bank began e
paw of in orderly fashion.

The Record accepts the verdict Of the

There was more at stake in Yesterdays

or The advancement Of the political for

were called upon TO choose between the
acceptance and the rejection Of a great
moral principle On the face of the re-
tur1s they have apparently rejected it.
In so doing they have performed another
act unworthy Of America, by lnferen-
tally condemning and repudiating fidelity
and efficiency in the highest public Office
No sane man who loves his country will
believe however that the election results
are 10 be read At their face value as sn
expression Of the popular will against

would force him TO align himself with
the element of his party which tayOrs ad-

in conjunction with that OF the Demo

now that the exigencies OF the campaign
