its opening, the yearly average for the past six years 
being 2,155. 
The original surveyor of Woodlawn was James 
Sidney, long since dead, and the present superin- 
tendent is Mr. H. J. Diering, whose name has fre- 
quently appeared in these columns. 
The map gives the general lay-out of the ceme- 
tery with sufficient clearness to display the salient 
features of the design. Although organized thirty 
years ago, when it was custom- 
ary to enclose lots either with 
stone curbing, iron railings or 
natural hedges. Woodlawn is 
to-day conspicuous for the ab- 
sence of sucli relics of bygone 
practice, the officials of the 
cemetery having persuaded the 
lot owners to allow of their re- 
moval, and now very few re- 
main, giving great satisfaction. 
The rules and regulations 
are comprehensive and care- 
fully enforced; the grounds are 
policed by uniformed employ- 
es, and attendants and grave 
diggers are also recognized 
by an appropriate uniform, 
which imparts a dignity and order to the occasion. 
The striking features about Woodlawn are un- 
doubtedly its tombs and monuments, and in costly 
mausoleums it is perhaps unrivalled. The initial 
cut of this article is a sketch of the C. P. Hunting- 
ton mausoleum, which is said to have cost some 
$250,000, and to be the most 
costly in the world. The tomb 
proper is twenty-eight by forty- 
two feet with roof twenty-four 
feet above the platform. It is 
built of granite of fine quality, 
the stone also being of unusual 
size. 
The Morisini mausoleum, which 
has been illustrated and descri- 
bed in these columns in a pre- 
vious issue, is of striking des- 
ign. 
One of the most imposing ex- 
amples of mortuary architecture 
in the country is the beautiful 
temple-like structure erected 
some years ago for the late Jay Gould. It is al- 
ways considered to resemble the Parthenon, Ath- 
ens, but it is more like the temple of Theseus, the 
architect avers. It is Ionic in style and many au- 
thorities claim it to be the best specimen of pure 
Grecian architecture in the United States. In area 
it is thirty-three by twenty-two feet, the roof being 
twenty-two feet above the ground. There is no 
mark whatever on the exterior of this structure to 
identify it. 
Besides the Warner, Foster and Dunlop tombs, 
there are many other costly mausoleums on the 
grounds, besides a large number of fine monu- 
ments of varied design and material. The illustra- 
onAhis page explain themselves. A very large 
amount of money is annually expended on memo- 
rial monumental work in Woodlawn Cemetery.
