Competition was invited irom Ameri can artists, a number of whom sent models to the capital for inspection, no one of which was accepted, on account of a disagreement between the Senate and House members of the committee. At the last session of Con- gress the selection of an artist was referred to @ commission consisting of the Secretary of the Navy, General Sherman, and Mrs. Faragut, the Admiral’s widow. ‘The award made by this commission to Miss Vinnie | of this city, and the contract was “yestemtay by Seeretary Robeson aad Miss Ream for its execution. Itis under- steol that Mrs. Farragut, after examtoiag {he tedels of competitors, was very decided in her preference for the one executed by Miss Ream.
