PARK AND CEMETERY. 
CHICAGO’S NEWER SCULPTURED PARK MEMORIALS 
Chicago has many fine monuments and 
sculptures in her parks that are nation- 
ally known, and has in recent years 
added substantially to her park sculp- 
tures of the newer type that have a 
meaning aside from their commemora- 
tive character, or a decorative harmony 
with their surroundings that makes them 
of unusual interest as works of art.

‘ LINCOLN THE RAIL SPLITTER,” GARFIELD PARK. CHICAGO. 
Charles J. Mulligan, Sc. 
park, regarded by many as the greatest 
portrait statue in America, and some 
other portrait statues and equestrian fig- 
ures, of which there are some dozen 
in this park, were recently illustrated 
and described in these pages. The 
South Side has another famous work 
of the late Augustus Saint-Gaudens, his 
seated figure of Lincoln still waiting 
erection in the yet to be completed Grant 
park; the Saint-Gaudens Logan in the 
same park, and Daniel Chester French’s 
Washington, as her most distinguished 
examples of monumental art. Her finest 
work of decorative sculpture, Mr. Taft’s 
“Fountain of the Lakes,” also awaiting 
a place in Grant park, as well as the 
Logan and Washington, have been illus- 
trated in these pages. 
The particularly notable fact about the 
recent sculptural additions to Chicago 
parks is to be found in the erection in 
the parks of the West Side of several 
fine ideal and decorative sculptures that 
have been secured as a direct result r' 
the object lessons in the placing of pa 
sculpture given by the two interesting 
exhibits of outdoor sculpture held in 
these parks some years ago, and de- 
scribed in detail in Park and Cemetery 
at that time. 
In Plumboldt park, where the first of 
these exhibits was held, five of the 
sculptures shown in temporary form 
have been permanently placed in im- 
pressive and appropriate situations such 
as those which were found to be suited 
to them in the exhibition. Charles J. 
Mulligan’s “Miner and Child,” one of 
the finest works shown at this exhibit, 
has been given a fine location at the 
junction of two drives at the new Di- 
vision street entrance to this park, and 
Leonard Crunelle’s four decorative chil- 
dren’s figures have been executed in 
bronze and placed at the four corners 
of the fountain basin in the Rose Gar- 
den, where they were so happily placed 
during the outdoor art exhibit. 
The second exhibit of outdoor sculp- 
ture was held in Garfield park, another 
of the big pleasure grounds of the West 
Park System, and here have found per- 
manent place since they were tempo- 
rarily shown Mr. Mulligan’s “Lincoln, 
the Rail Splitter,” and Edward Kemeys’ 
two fine buffaloes. In every one of
