C.,, TUESDAY In the presence of several hundred members of All Hallows Guild and other friends of Washington Cathe- dra), the tablet marking the Bishop Herding memorial boxwood was un- velled this afternoon in the garden adjoining the Bishop's house, on Mount Saint Alban. Prayer in dedi- cation of the memorial tree was of- fered by Bishop Freeman, who also delivered an address on the service of his predecessor in furthering the en- tire Cathedral project.

It bears the following inscription: “‘An anclent boxwood north of this place was planted A.D., 1924, by All H lows Guild in memory of Aifred Hard- ing, D.D., LL.D., second Bishop of ‘Washington.” . Harding Boxwood Flourishing. A few feet north of the tablet the Harding boxwood is flourishing in its new environment. It was trans- planted from Damasc Md., last Summer, is undoubtedly more than 200 yvears old, and is said to be one of the finest specimens of the dwarf type of boxwood ever seen in Wash ington. Among those who moving the vy at the moment unvelling the Harding tablet were Alice Noel and Ruth Hollingsworth Tuckerman, daughters of Mrs. Walter R. Tuckerman, president of the guild, and Charles and Alexander Bratenahl, sons of Mrs. G. C. F. Bratenahl, treasurer of the guild and chairman of the garden committee.
