Fifth Avenue, Corner Eighteenth st.
Hon. Andrew III. Green,
Comptroller of the Central Park.
My dear sir:
have the pleasure through you to present
to the Central park commissioners the colos-
sal statue Of Columbus" the work of our
gifted countrywoman, Emma Stebbins. Co.
lumbus is represented as standing upon the
deck of ship alone and at midnight, just
before the land of the Western continent
burst upon his view. His mutinous crew have
all deserted him and are feasting below,
while he-the intrepid dscoverer, with a
firm grasp upon the rudder-post, looks eager
~, anxiously forward, piercing the darkness
with his eye of faith, and with earnest
prayers to heaven for success waits for the
dawning Of day-that day which, coming at
last, brings with it victory and repose.
This statue is truly grand in its conception
and beautiful in its execution-worthy, in
deed, to occupy a prominent place in our
Central park. 1t will add one more attrac-
tion to that charming spot, which the COM
missioners and yourself have done SO much
to adorn for the pleasure and delight OF the
people.
The statue and pedestal are both at the
Academy of Design, subject to your order
as soon as a suitable glass house has been
provided to protect the marble from the
weather. With the hope that the commission
ers will be able to provide this during the
present season and receive the proffered gift,
/ remain,
Your Obedient servant

THE FRIENDLY SPIRIT

The reason why some towns fail
to make progress. is that their life
is marred by an unfriendly spirit
People are constantly gossiping
about their neighbOrs. passing on
news of their real or supposed er-
rors, and magnifying their petty
faults. A town like that is honey
combed with suspicion and i'll feel
ing. and you'll get no unity of ac-
tion there.
The friendly spirit would rather
think well of people than think i'll.
and it is slow to pass on i'll natured
talk or to make harsh comments on
others. In such a town people be-
come attached to each other. and
they work harmoniOusly in organi-
cations and public movements. If
needs to be done requir-
ing public cooperation, it is easy to
secure the workers to do it. The
friendly town sees hope for the fu-
ture.
