THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. A MODEL EXHIBITION The Designs Submitted for the Sher- man Equestrian Statue. WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE Many of Them Are Artistic and Imposing. A HARD TASK FOR JUDGES REAT INTEREST is manifested among artists generally and lovers of sculpture in particular in the competition of de- signs for the eques- trian statue of Gen. Sherman to be erected in this city, on @ site yet to be selected. Nearly all the leading Ameri- can sculptors, whether domiciled in this country or abroad, are represented in the competition, and the result cannot fail to redound to the artistic credit of the na- tional capital. Their models have been on public exhibition in the main corridor of the top floor of the War Department since the Ist instant, where they have been in- spected with plegsure and profit by thou- sands of our citizens. They will be criti- cally examined by a committee of the So- elety of the Army of the Tennessee in a few days, in order to determine the result of the competition. In arriving at a con- clusion as to the most meritorious designs the committee of awards will have the able professional assistance of Messrs. St. Gaudens and Olin Warner, artists, and Messrs. Bruce Price and Charles Post, architects. ‘There are twenty-one models already “set up” in the improvised hall of sculpture in open competition for the prizes, and five more models, designed by American artists abroad, have been in the Georgetown cus- tom house for several days, awaiting re- moval to the War Department. ‘The suc: ful competitor will be awarded the contract for the erection of the monument in this city, at a total cost of $00,000, which is the main part of a fund raised by popular subscription and appropriated by Congress for this purpose. Four awards of $1,000 each will be made to the four artists whose designs are ad- judged to rank next in order of merit. Col. J. M. Wilson, commissioner of public build- ings and grounds, has afforded all the com- petitors every facility in his power for the setting up and display of their models, be- yond which duty, however, he has consist- ently refused to assume any responsibility, on the general ground that ali other mat- ters connected with the competition right- fully come within the special province of the committee of award properly charged with the direction and control of the mat- ter. The entries were supposed to have closed on the Ist instant, and all the sculptors whose models were in position on that date have joined in a vigorous protest against the corsideration of all models subse- quently introduced. Inasmuch as the cir- cular inviting competition specified merely that designs should be “sent” not later than January 1, it is contended by those affected that the governing committee can- not throw out the models shipped on that date simply because they were not actually in position in the War Department until a day or two later. Of the models already on exhibition there are at least six that are included in the list of alleged delin- quents, without reference to the five mod- els from abroad, which have been lying in the Georgetown custom house for several ys. The committee is informed thgt models designed by the following-named artists have been shipped to Washington for en- try in the competition: Paul Wayland Bart- lett, Paris; George C. Bissell, Paris; A. Phinister Proctor, New York; Pline T. de Quelin, Chicago, and Ira Lake, Port Rich- mond, N. Y. Brief sketches of a majority of the mod- els on exhibition at that time were given in The Star of last Saturday. Since then sev- eral new models have been added to the collection, and most of the others have been completed in certain minor details of construction that were overlooked in their hasty setting up. In the sense of narrat- ing the changes made this week the pres- ent article may be considered a continua- tion of the story of the models as begun‘in the issue of last Saturday. By H. J. Ellicott and Wm. Bruce Gray. The design submitted by Mr. H. J. Elli- cott and Mr. Wm. Bruce Gray, both of this city, represents an equestrian statue on a pedestal of Grecian Doric. architec- ture and Vinola proportions. Mr. Gray designed the pedestal, which is very elab- crate and artistic. Each corner of it is ornamented by a statue, one of Fame, another of Victory, another of ‘War and thé fourth of Peace. The fig- ures of War and Peace are shown in a sit- ting posture. The statue of War, which is at the rear, rests her left arm on a shield, while her right hand grasps a sword under the hilt. Peace occupies a place at the front of the die. She holds an olive branch in her right hand and a horn of plenty in her left hand. The figure of Fame, on the right of the die, holds aloft a wreath. of oak and laurel. She has palm branches in the other hand. On the left side of the die stands the figure of Victory, with trum- pet of fame in left hand resting on hip. The right hand is up-aised, holding a wreath of laurel. At each corner of the Stairway rising to the pedestal stand ihe figures of fcur soldiers, carrying standards end representing the infantry, artillery, cavalry and engineer branches of the serv- ice. The front and rear walls contain bas reliefs, symbolizing the march to the sea. Gen. Sherman is mounted on a splrized thoroughbred, head up, ears erect and nos- trils distended, as though inspired by the sounds of battle. The general sits in calm dignity, wearing the usual military cloak, which falls gracefully to the horse’s back, his entire attitude indicating close obser- vation of the movements of his army. His left hand grasps the reins, while his right falls ‘by his side in simple posture. His sword is sheathed, and the idea given is one of dignified repose. Mr. Ellicott designed the equestrian statue of Gen. Hancock, which is to be erected cn the reservation at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street. One model fs the joint production of J. O. Lester dnd B. Sims of New York. The Pedestal is of rectangular form, standing on a platform ascended by three steps. ‘This platform, front and back, has a semi- circular base, on which are two groups, one representing Liberty freeing the slave, and the other representing Patriotism. On the sides of the pedestal are bronze panels showing incidents in Sherman’s military career. Surmounting the pedestal is an equestrian statue showing Sherman seated on his prancing Lexington steed. The at- titude of the horse shows fiery eagerness for the fray. Gen. Sherman is represented looking forward, motioning with vut- stretched arms, sword upraised, for his troops to follow. In the group represent- ing Liberty freeing the slave, the allegor- ical figure of Liberty is accompanied by a little girl holding a torch, symbolical of and the slave is pictured enlightenment, as an emaciated negro with broken chains. Another group represents dying field, Patriotism. A soldier, who has fallen on the battle- has been caught In the arms of Vic- tory, who aids him in supporting the flag 21 of his country. At the feet of the fallen hero lie his broken sword and shield. On the sides of the pedestal are panels show- ing leading Incidents in the march through Georgia. The pedestal is of granite and the figures of bronze. Prof. Amateis’ Design. Prof. L. Amateis of the Columbian Uni- versity of this city has submitted a model intended to represent in a plastic manne! the most glorious period of the hero’ life. That is, when he was marching through Georgia at the head of his army. The figure of Sherman is in full form, emerging frcm a triumphal archway, while his subordinate’ officers are made blending gradually into bas relief. At the sides of the granite monument are two allegorical figures, representing Valor and Strategy, which the artist regards as the two most Prominent military qualities of the hero. In the rear there is a bas relief represent- ing the battle of Atlanta. Surmounting the monumnnt is a group of two American eagles, defending the Union flag, and the coat of arms. The whole architectural part of the ronument is of classic colo- nial style, and is intended to be truly Amer- ican in its spirit. At the head of the two columns, supporting the arch in front, are the words ‘Pro Patria.” Prof. Amateis says he has left the beaten path of pedestal and statue in the endeavor to produce some- thing new and original. He had no as- sistance whatever in his work. Victor Olsa of New York has offered one of the smallest models in the entire collec- tion. It represents a dignified equestrian statue of Sherman on a pedestal of strict simplicity. The panels on the sides of the pedestal show bas relief representations of historic incidents in the military career of Sherman. There are four panels in all, two containing symbolical pictures and two pre- pared for inscriptions of name and dates. Alfred Luzi, Sculptor. Alfred Luzi of New York has submitted a design of an equestrian statue, in which Sherman is represented as restraining his horse from the march, in order to point out with raised sword the direction in which the attack is to be made by his troops. The statue is seventeen feet high. It stands on a pedestal of granite thirty-five feet high, having four columns of polished white granite, each fourteen feet in height. ‘These columns, which are of bronze, dis- play the United States coat of arms. Four allegorical figures are shown on the sides of the pedestal At the front is a group, showing an eagle protecting the national flag and the coat of arms. At the rear is the figure of a lion rampant, representing Might and Majesty. On the left side is a group, in white marble, representing the Genijs of War, and on the right is a group, representing Georgia re-entering the Union. The entire height of the struc- ture is fifty-four feet. H. K. Bush Brown of Newburgh, N. Y., has offered two designs in competition. In the principal one the equestrian statue of the hero of Atlanta is mounted on a granite pedestal of simple design. The horse is represented as looking at some distant object while marching forward. The: general is also represented as looking straight ahead, intent on the work of the future and oblivious of his surroundings. On the right of the equestrian group, slightly in advance, is a figure of Wal with left hand raised as though comman ing the enemy to cease fighting, while in his right hand he holds a drawn sword, point downward, in token of peace. On the opposite side at the horse's flanks is a figure of Peace, with palms and a cornu- copia in his right hand. The pedestal is in the form of a rectangle, with rounded ends. Including plinth it is thirty feet six inches high, and the equestrian group is eighteen feet extreme measurement. Im- mediately beneath the projecting cornice, which is enriched with lions’ heads and bronze stars, is placed an ornamental frieze, composed of palm branches, alter- nating with discs bearing the badges of the several army corps of Sherman's army, with Sherman's own corps, the fifteenth, on the center of the frieze on each side. At the front of the pedestal are two inter- twined wreaths. Secondary groups, repre- senting War and Peace, are placed at the sides above the stylobate. Collaborating with Mr. Brown in this design are March, Israel & Harder, architects of New York. In the preparation of his other design he was assisted by Babb, Cook & Willard, ar- chitects, also of New York. Mr. Brown is a nephew and an adopted son of Henry K. Brown, who designed the statues of Scott and Greene in this city. He is the author of the equestrian statue of Meade at Get- tysburg, and the group “An Indian Buffalo Hunt,” on exhibition at the world’s fair. Mr. Theodore Mills. Mr Theodore Mills of this city is repre- sented in the collection by a model of a bronze equestrian statue resting on a granite pedestal,the base of which fs reac! ed by a flight of three steps. The pedestal is forty feet in height, and the statue, in- cluding horse and rider, measures twenty feet. Bas reliefs representing the army surround the lower base. On each side of the pedestal are allegorical figures. The one in front represents Victory offering laurels to the soldier hero. Fame stands at the rear. There is a statue of Peace on one side and the statue of History on the other. The model is one of the allest and simplest of the lot. The artist has not yet completed the setting up of his finished model, and at present the statue stands on an improvised pedestal of boxes. Mr. Mills is a son of Clark Mills, the cele- brated sculptor. J. Massey Rhind’s Model. The model submitted by J. Massey Rhind of New York, sculptor, and K. Dahler Tan- gen, architect, is treated in an impressive, monumental manner. The building up cf the figures and the architecture are massed tegether in order to convey a feeling of completeness. The four steps around the monument cover a space of nearly forty feet square, upon which stands a simple solid base, having at the four corners pro- jecting pedestals bearing four soldiers eight feet six inches high, repregerting the four corps in the service under Gen. Sherman. Rising from this base are pilasters of a purely Greek order, between which is thrown an arch, causing a panel which is filled with a spirited group of “military figures bearing the American flag, with the general in the center of the group, repre- senting “the march through Georgia.” A: entablature rests on the pilasters and forms a pedestal for the equestrian statue of Gon. Sherman. The horse stands with the legs placed front and back in 1 very rigid posi- tion. The general is shown turned round on the saddle, resting his right hand with sword on the back of the horse, addressing an imaginary army or regiment. The height frdm the ground to the top of the general's head measures fifty-two feet, and the horse and man would be almost twice life size. On either side of the monument are placed allegorical figures of ‘Fortitude’ and “Good Generalship.” Suitable inscrip- tions will be placed on the front, to be de- cided by the committee, while on the back a large panel will have an historical de- scription of all the achievements performe1 by the general during his military career. The architectural features of this design are of a purely Greek order. The material used for this monument would be a fine- grained gray granite, and all the figure- work in bronze. J. Massey Rhind, tle sculptor, is at pres- ent engaged upon a statue of John C. Cal- houn, for Charleston, S. C., and a statue of Robert Ross for Troy, N. Y. Mr. Partridge’s Two Designs. William Ordway Partridge of New York, who is well known to our citizens as lee. turer on fine arts at the Columbian Univer- sity, has two models in competition. In his main design the artist says he has aimed at great stability in man and horse, and in the pedestal as well, carefully eliminating every detail which might tend to conflict with the general idea of simplicity. “It is intended,” he says, “to impr the be- holder with ‘mass’ and clean, simple lines, rather than to make any attempt at grace or elaborate detail.” It is meant sol: to represent .a great soldier as a victorious leader of men. The horse is shown in thorough repose and the attituds cf the rider is dignified and quiet. The group is of bronze and at least twice life size. The pedestal, of Renaissance style, will be of granite with side and end panels for ap- propriate histcrical inscriptions. As the whole, the design is one of the simplest in the entire collection. The second model submitted by ridge represents the horse in act’ the rider firmly seated in the si soldierly grace and dignity. The group, while less personal than that in his other model, the artist regards as ror elegant, and perhaps more apt to please the public The pedestal is a combination of graceful curves carefully combined and designed to lead up to the equestrian group. The pan- els on the sides are left for inscriptions to be selected by the committee. The mater- Model No. 1. fals of the monument are the same as in the other model. Mr. Partridge has executed a large eques- trian statue of Gen. Grant for the city of Brooklyn. He has executed the Shakes- peare statue in Lincoln Park, Chicago, and the Hamilton statue in Brooklyn, and he has also exhibited at the salon in Paris, at the Royal Academy in London and at Ber- lin. Mr. Adrian Jones’ Model. Mr. Adrian Jones of New York has sub- mitted a model which is strikingly original in design. It shows Sherman reining in his impetuous steed on the field of battle, and at the same time encouraging his trcops on to victory. The plinth represents a mound of rough earth, at the front of wiich stand three soldiers in action, repre- senting, respectively, the infantry, artil- lery and cavalry branches of the service. At the rear of the pedestal, just beiow the equestrian statue, is an allegorical figure of Fame in the act of inscribing Sherman's deeds on a shield of granite. The pedestal is provided with panels for appropriate his- tcrical inscriptions. The treatment of the equestrian statue is especially bold, but the general idea of the design is simplicity. Sherman sits gracefully on his horse, with his face to the left and his arm extended, holding aloft his well-known slouch hat. & Mr. Niehrus. Mr. Charles H. Niehaus of New York dis- plays two models, which have become the subject of considerable critical comment on the part of the other artists in competition. Model No, 1 is of the Italian Renaissance style. and shows a rectangular pedestal, surmounted by an equestrian statue of the hero of Atlanta, with the horse in motion. At the marble base are four bronze figures, intended to symbolize the great issues of the war, Progress, Emancipation, Peace and Model No. 2. Law. The pedestal is contained within six columns, resting upon a stylobate and sup- porting the entablature. Discs, containing the national coat-of-arms, pendant from lions’ heads, are shown on the main shaft. A frieze in line with the capitals of the columns is inscribed with the names of Sherman's principal victories. At the front are the dates of the birth and death of Sherman, and the side panels show in- signia of the four arms of the service. Mr. Niehaus’ second model shows an equestrian statue on a massive pedestal set in front of a recta: ilar exhedra, the walls of which cont bas relief repre- sentations of. Sherman »ymarching through Georgia. Low balubti walls form three sides of the exhedra, and at the ends of the walls are Secqpatad tablets inscribed with the names of Sierman’s victories. ‘The amperes Fe su unted by eagles grasping in thelr talon® the national coat- of-arms. Upon the entgblature, front and back, are figures a: me’s heralds, bear- ing trumpets, laurel wreaths, etc. Over all is Gen. Sherman in—hiw uniform of major general, sitting proudly upon a magnificent War horse. It is 0} , asserted by sev- eral artists in the dmpetition that the first-mentioned design of Mr. Niehaus is a copy of the celebrated, Colleoni at Venice, and that thé second'‘debtgn here briefly de- scribed is a copy of the equestrian monu- ment to Frederick the Great at Berlin. It is only fair to Mr. Niehaus to. say that he utterly repudiates the charge of plagiarism in each instance. The other competing artists whose models have been previously noticed in The Star are L. Mullgarde of Chicago, Fernan- do Miranda of New York, Edwin M. Van Note of New York, James E. Kelly of New Maes and the Dunbar Brothers of this city. - One of the largest models on exhibition is that designed by Mr. Rowland Hinton Perry and Mr. Edward P. Casey of this city. In addition to its sculptural- features it is pretentious from an architectural standpoint. The general idea is an eques- trian statue on an ornamented pedestal in an inclosed circular plateau, with four cn- trances, each of which is flanked with granite posts, surmounted with large Spheres. At the four sides of the pedestal are allegorical figures of Fame, Victory, War and Peace. The plinth is elaborately carved with designs commemorating ihe march to the sea, and upon it Stands the equesirian statue. The horse is represent- ed in motion, and Gen. Sherman sits firmly in his saddle in the attitude of salute, with head uncovered, his slouch hat being held in his right hand, resting on his thigh. Carl Rohl Smith of Chicago is one of the competitors. His model is of rare simplic- ity. The equestrian group is mounted on a marble pedestal on the projecting arms of which stand striking allegorical figures of War and Peace. One side contains the names of Sherman's victories and the other bears the inscription “William T. Sherman, 1820-1891.”" —___ ENGLAND IS AFTER. WHAT Cares Less for Her Settlers Than for the Yellow Metal in Venezuela. From the Pittsburg. Dispatch. The richness of the Venezuelan gold mines, in the region to which Great Britain lays claim, was the subject of an interesting talk by William F, Harrison last evening. Mr. Harrison says that the gold country is entirely covered by the latest British claim, and it is evidently to secure this mineral wealth that the shifting boundary line of British Guiana has been bulged away out to the west, cutting a huge slice, shaped like the hole a hungry boy makes in a piece of bread, right cut of the side cf the Venezuelan territcry. Mr. Harrison is by profession a mechanical engineer. In 1874 he went to Venezuela as the superintendent of a stcemer line, owned by an American com- pany, which ran beats from Trinidad up the Orincco river as far as the old city of Bolivar. Afterward he became interested in a gold mine, of which Remington, the gun maker, of Ilion, N, ¥., is the principal owner. : “The gold mining region,” said Mr. Harri- son, “is on the Yurugri river, in western Verezuela, in what ig called Yuruary ter- ritory. That river news Into the Cuyuni or Guiana river. Within a radius of nine miles there were then, ten or eleven mines in operation, besides a number of small individual camps, where men did placer mining or washed in the streams. “The quartz there is exceedingly rich in free gold. You can take a lump of it, break it apart like clay, and pick out little pisces of pure gold larger than a pea. Out- side of the quartz veins gold is found in the earth or rock for several feet or yards on either side. You can find it along the river banks and in the soil under the for- est trees. “One day I and a friend, a western miner, went down thé Yuruari in a skiff, and, mainly out of ouriosity, rowed up a little stream that flowed into the river from the southwest. We had not gone far when we found along the bank what we called good signs. We pulled out boat up and went exploring in the thicket. We came upon a miner's cabin, where there bad been digging for gold many years ago. There was no longer a roof on the hut,and two trees of good size had grown through’ the door. “That cabin had probably been occupied by early Spanish adventurers, pgrhaps 200 or 300 years ago. Men who wSlk in the fcrest at night are in danger of falling into pits made by miners who worked only with a pick and with a shovel. The larger mines are shafts. The one I was connect- ed with was more than 200 feet down when I left there. “Gold ¢s not_the only precious mineral found there. The Indians used to come down from the mountains carrying pure gold ond quicksilver, which they traded for whisky. ‘They are much like our west- ern Indians, only lazier, They will not tell where they get the quicksilver, al- though the miners would very much like to know. “In the northern point of the disputed territury, near the mouth of the Orinoco, there are valuable iron mines, but I am not well acquainted with that section. “All that country is very rich, but there is little agriculture. Some sugar cane is grown and some cocoa. The chief industry is cattle raising. From Guasapatl, in the mining region, toward Upati, nearly 150 miles to the northwest, there is a great stretch of pampas almost devoted to cattle grazing. They are raised principally for their hides, and the carcasses are frequent- ly allowed to go to waste. The land is owned in great tracts by rich Venezue- lans, who employ scores and even hundreds of peons. The hilly country is covered by thick forests of hardwood, exceedingly valuable for some things, but hardly avail- able for buildings or bridges or railroad ties. Most of it will tear the teeth out of a saw and is impervious to a plane. “At the time I was there no doubt ex- isted concerning the governmental jurisdic- tion over this region. It was all under Venezuelan rule. Guzman Blanco was then president. The British line was more than 150 miles to the east of the mining coun- try. New England claims a great tract of land more than 300 miles wide, which was twenty years ago indisputably under Venezuelan rule. It takes in all the head- waters of the Cuyuni and Yuruari, with the great hardwood forests, the fertile pampas and the rich mines of gold.” +04 Stamps Missing From Mail Matter, From the Cincinnat! Enquirer. For some time past complaints have been received by the Post Ottice Department from persons regarding stamps missing on mail matter. The authorities are of the epinion that it Is the work of stamp collecting fiends, and every effgrt is being made to dis- cover the place whére BS e work is doe. The stamps usually stolen are rare ones. The last complaint;'recelved by the post office authorities was made by Mr. Howard Douglass. While alroadeMr. Douglass re- ceived some medals which had been blessed by the Bishop of fntwerp, and hé sent them to some friends in this country. “Although Mr, Dguglags has been back from his European rip for several months, the whereabouts of the medals are still a mystery. When Mr.:Douglass was in Egypt he made an acquaintance at one of the le- gations at Cuiro. and promised to send a memento from America té him. Shortly af- ter .reiving at home Mr, Douglass sent some medals from tnis city, and the other day he received a reply to the effect that the medals had been received, but that the stamps had been torn off the paper wrap- per. It is thought that the stamps were stolen before arriving at Cairo, or at least before the package was delivered. It is known the stamp sellers at nearly all the post offices of the country are often visited by stamp collectors, who buy a certain kind of stamp which is thought to be getting rare, and which is expected to command a good price in the near future. a Burglars Spare the Baby, From the New York Press. Burglars got into the house of James Dunn, at Wooébridge, N. recently, and chleroformed Mr. and Mrs. Dunn and An- nie Whalen, Mrs. Dunn's sister. Evidently fearing that the fumes of the anesthetic might kill the baby, five months old, they took the sleeping child from its crib, wrap- ped it in a thick blanket and laid it beside an open window.
