Carroll hall is filled with the models and plans submitted by various sculptors for the proposed monument to be erected to Gen. Robert E. Lee at Richmond, Va. The sculp- tors represented are John Donoghue, Charles H. Niehaus, James Milo Grif fith, M. Ezekiel, Gilbert BR. Frith, Rudolph von Deutsch, Alfred Lanz, Samuel Kitson, F. Edwin Elwell, A. Mereie,’ Albrecht Kablistocliek, Henry 0. Avery, A. E. Harnisch, und George Keller. Thecommission to examine the plans and models consisted of Messrs. Edward Clark, J. Q. Ward, and Augustus St. Gaudens. These gentlemen have o formed this duty and communicated their views to Miss Sarah N. Randolph, of Baltimore, resident ot the Lee Monument association. ‘he commission did not know the names of the sculptors, the models being marked only by mottoes. ‘The commission arrived at the conclusion thatin the order of merit for the purpose in- tended the first place should be given to the model marked “Potomac,” and the second to the one marked “Virginia.” In their letter to Miss Randoipb the commission said: “Your commission are gratified to find that this competition has brought out so many models of undoubted merit, and they are unwilling to announce their decision without muking espe- cial mention of the merit of the model marked ‘Humanity.’ When the seals of the envelopes containing the names of the sculptors which corresponded to the mot- toes on the models were opened it was found that Mr. Chas. H. Niehaus won the first pre- mium, and Mr, Ezekiel, the second, while Mr. Altred’ Lanz was found to be the sculptor that modeled ‘Humanity.’ ” Mr. Niehaus, of Cincinnati, to whom the first remium was awarded, is the sculptor of the Bronze statue of Garfield in Cincinnati, amar ble replica of which has been deposited in the Statuary hail at the Capitol. ‘The pedestal on which the equestrian figure in Mr. Niehaus’ model stands is supported on either side by two col ug and two caryatids in bigh reliet, the caryatids representing . Justice, Religion and Patriotisin. Below in front ig female figure emblematic of Fame, on the sides two other figures, representing respec- lively War and Charity. On the sides of the base are represented iu relief on one side the oparture gad on the other the return of a body of troops. e res, except caryat are bronze. ‘The whole has & very: imposing ap, Pike design of Mr, Bzekiel is quite striking. Behind the square pedestal upon which mounted the equestriun figure of Lee, rises au ara upon which stands a-female figure, repfe- senting “the and a yas rest- ing upon & er deli ing 8 wheat” of Mosk” leaves toward. Soro. The frieze of the ara is filled with figures 4 relief, of allegorical import. About the base of the pedestal groupsare representing Destiny, Peace, Glory, Fame, and Sorrow. ‘The design of Mr. ‘Lanz, which was honorably mentioned, attracts much notice from visitors to the hall. The pedestal rises trom a massive terrace of rough hewn rock, ‘The statue is sup- by six columns, between which are ma- jestic figures representing Education, Religion, lence, Justice, War wn A Virginia. iEbe treat: ment is'bold, and, altogether, lesign is con- Hidered well’ worthy ofthe thention Itreceived from the commission.
