AS HE AGGEPTS “LIBERTY” STATUE IN CENTRAL PARK Twenty Thousand School Children Take Part in Presentation of the Statuette Raised by The World —Marshal Extends Thanks. BROOKLYN GIVES A AT LAFAYETTE UNVEILING Marshal Joffre, as an honored guest of the city of New York, spent one of the busiest days of his career to-day. His programme began with the presentation in Central Park of a golden replica of tne Statue of Liberty. This was closely followed by the gift from the people of Brook- tyn of a beautiful sword, which was iranded to the Marshal at the exer- cises in Prospect Park unveiling a statue of Lafayette. He was later entertained at luncheon by the Merchants’ Association at the Hotel Astor, This afternoon he received a degree from Columbia University and then visited Grant's Tomb, F The amphitheatre formed by the rocky slopes which inclose the North Meadow of Central Park was a blaze of sunlighted tricolor at about half past nine o'clock to-day. Fifty thousand persons stood in terraced rows, | folk »wing every irregularity of the contour of the slopes, Horsemen and horsewomen crowded the bridle path like massed cavalry. The edges of | the roads were close fenced with automobiles, hub to hub. In the centre, about a gorgeously decorated stand, were 20,000 chool children, white bloused, tricolor sashed; the girls were liberty | capped. _A broad strip of green turf roped off toward the nortn was the only open space. The whole was framed in the-misty green tint of budding leaves, not yet unfolded, ‘The First Artillery band was blar-¢@-————__— ing away at the stand chiefs and every body yelled until volces failed |GOLDEN REPLICA OF LIBERTY | STATUE FOR JOFFRE. % Sbrill strains of children's singing rose above the booming undertone of the drums.
