Grand Statue at Washington Is
Nearly Finished.
Second Largest Ee lestrian Statue In
the World Has Been Eighteen
Years In tire Making.

Observation-Disclosures years in the
making, a memorial to Gen. U. S.
Grant is nearing completion here, and
probably will be unveiled before the
end of the year. 1t is in the form of
magnificent equestrian statue of
bronze, the second largest of it's kind
in the world, mounted on granite
pedestal and fianked on the left by
q casting of a group Of cavalry and on
the right by group Of artillery, both
groups done in bronze.

Of the pedestal complete the memorial.
The equestrian figure stands 16 feet
high. weighs 1O,7OO pounds and costs
$25O,OOO The memorial is located in
the botanic gardens at the foot Of the
capitol grounds, and congress has ap-
proved removal of section Of the iron
fence on the east front Of the gardens
to admit the statue and to provide
space for spectators at the unveiling
ceremonies
Authority for the creation of the
memorial was given by congress on
Feb. %. 1901. The competition for the
statue was held in 1902 and the award
was to Henry NJ. Shrady, noted
sculptor of Elmsford, N. Y. whose de-
sign was selected by jury consisting
Of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel
Chester French, Daniel H. Durham
and Charles f. Mckim.
The pedestal was designed by Ed
ward Pierce Casey Of New York, asso-
ciated with Mr.. Shrady, and was COM
pleted and put in place in 1906.
The equestrian statue has just now
been finished, however, and was
shipped here in sections by motortruck
from New York city.
The memorial to the famous general
and eighteenth President Of the United
States will bear no inscription, &C.

SKATING RINK
BEING FLOODED

The skating rink on the lot adjoin-
ing the city hall is being flooded today,
and if the cold weather keeps up in q
day or two the ice will be firm enough
to allow skaters on it. The rink,
when enough water is finally let into
it, promises to be an ideal one for the
sport of the Riddles, who have been
forced to wait some time until the
weather became cold enough to freeze
the water, so that it wouldn't thaw
out the next day. The rink is spac-
ious enough to allow several score
children on it at one time. If the
weather continues cold today and the
sun fails to do it's work on the ice.
the children will perhaps be out try.
