The Logan Statue, Chicago, 
The equestrian statute of General John 
A. Logan, long anticipated, and from 
which so much was expected was dedicat- 
ed on the Lake Front Park, Chicago, 
July 22nd, with very imposing cere- 
monies. In fact the occasion was made a 
public holiday, and was participated in by 
the Secretary of War, governors from 
several states, the regular army, G. A. R. 
and many other organizations. The gov- 
ernment had assembled between two and 
three thousand troops to join in the parade 
and honor the ceremonies. The statue 
was unveiled in the presence of Mrs. 
John A. Logan and the general’s descen- 
dants, the unveiling being done by the 
grandson. The monument is undoubtedly 
a splendid piece of work and seems to 
have given general satisfaction and to have 
evoked commendation from all sides 
Congratulations were warmly pressed 
upon the sculptor, St. Gaudens, who with 
his family was present. Mr. Stanford 
White, the architect and Mr. Merritt, 
secretary of the Henry Bonnard Bronze 
Co . , and who supervised the erection of 
the work, were also present. The bronze 
statue stands 23 feet high over all, and is 
mounted on a pedestal of polished Rock- 
port granite. The lower part of the struct- 
ure is also a mausoleum for the reception 
of the general’s remains and those of Mrs. 
Logan in due course. The flag which is a 
conspicuous part of the statue is of cast 
bronze, and weighs over half a ton. Such 
accessories are more often made of ham- 
mered metal. The grand group is a valu- 
able addition to the statuary of Chicago, 
which also possesses St. Gaudens “Lin- 
coln.”
