There is no place in New York or vicinity better fitted for it. The Hudson River flows silently within a stone's throw. Directly opposite, across the river, the Palisides loom in a grandeur that has given them world-wide fame. Looking north, the eye may see as far as Tappan Zoe, over a stretch of country which is famed in history. The immediate surroundings of the monn ment itself are very beautiful. In one direction are located the stately buildings of the new Columbia University. Adjoining them, will stand the great Protestant Cathe dral of St. John the Divine, The monument is 165 feet high, and stands upon a promontory 140 feet above the Hudson, The design is original in its execu- tion and conception. The square Doric base is typical of Grant's military oareer; the circular cupola Is symbolie of his civil life, and the stepdome that compistes the struc ture announces that it Is the tomb of a warrior, The exterior is of granite, interior of raarble. On the main floor is arypt, thirty fest wide, where the massive scarcophagus of General Grant. The foundation, which 18 of conorete, is 110 feet by 110 feet at the base, and 107 feet square atthe top, Its depth is twenty-two fost. The top of the foundation is 154 feet, and the top of the dome is 800 feet, above bigth water. The main superstructure is of granite, 100 feet square and eighty-five feet high. At eighty foet from the foundation is the lower edge of the cornice, Huge lon head blocks of granite form a projecting layer abové this, and one more layer of granite biocks completes the main body, The mon- ument feces the south, snd on this side are the only approach and entrance to the tomb, The entrance is through a brazen door. This front of the tomb has four granite columns at the entranocs, but just outside of these is pnother line of fluted columns six in sumber, thirty feet high, seven feet in diameter, at the base and six at the top, They form part of the portico. The portico is in the Ionic style, and Is in itself a figure of great beauty, The approach to the portico is formed by granite platforms 100 fest wide which afford a gradual ascent of forty feet, The completion of this noble mausoleum within flve years Is a lasting testimonial to New York's civic pride, The first meeting of the Grant Memorial Committes was held on April 9, 1802, and over 80.000 American citizens contributed the $700,000 necessary for the erection of the great tomb, EI st se SA CABLE SPARKS.
