The Carlton Taylor monument shown in one of our illus- 
trations l)ears a decoration that is probably unique in the 
form of a scroll bearing several bars of music, and is a fine 
piece of granite work throughout. It was erected by Cap- 
tain A. S. Taylor of the United States Navy in memory of 
his son, a talented violinist, and the scroll bears a part of 
the score of the “Evening Star” song from Tannhauser, one 
of the favorite pieces of the young man. The two ends show 
elaborately carved wreaths and lyres, and the reverse of the 
(lie bears Thomas Campbell’s poem, “Hallowed Ground.” It 
stands in Flemington, N. J., and was erected by Presbrey- 
Coykendali Co. of New York, who cut the work at their 
Barre plant. The die and the second base are all polished, 
the bottom base is 10-0x0-6 wide and the height of the monu- 
ment 7-6. 
KIMBALL MEMORIAL, CHICAGO. 
McKim, Mead & White, New York. Archs. 
An architectural structure of remarkable grace, beauty, 
the classic detail that is seldom equaled for purity of de- 
sign and faultless construction is seen in the W. W. Kim- 
ball monument recently erected in memory of the well-known 
piano manufacturer in Graceland Gemetery, Chicago. It is 
in the general form of an open colonnade of the Corinthian 
order of architecture, and was designed by McKim, Mead & 
White, architects, of New York. The structure is of white 
Rutland marble and was executed by The Vermont Marble 
Company at Proctor, Vt. It is 24-0x22-0 in ground plan, 
and thirty feet high. The six columns, including caps and 
bases, are twenty feet high. Chas. G. Blake & Co., of Chi- 
cago, were the contractors for the work, which is not com- 
plete in all its details. A sculptured figure is to be placed 
on the platform. It will represent an angel holding a tablet, 
on which will be an inscription. The work was set by Henry 
Heckelmann, of Chicago.

The Patrick A. Collins memorial, illustrated here, is an 
interesting and original combination of Celtic cross, mon- 
umental tablet, and portrait bust, and was erected in mem- 
ory of Boston’s late mayor by his wife. 
The bronze bust was modeled by Cyrus E. Dallin, the 
Boston sculptor, who also designed the memorial. The 
tablet-cross was cut from, a single, block of Tennessee 
marble by Frank C. Recchia, and stands on a granite 
base 7x0-5-0xl-0. T.he portrait is regarded as a faithful
