 ently of Falguiere in Paris. Mr. Lopez was re- cently commissioned to execute a statue of President McKinley for Philadelphia.

Mr. Frederick Wellington Euckstuhl, the sculptor of the Clark monument, is widely known as the founder and for some years the secretary of the National Sculp- ture Society. Important sculpture by him is to be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in the Congressional Library in Washington and in the Appel- late Court House in New York City.

"Shooting up the Town," the cowboy group by Frederick Remington, which greets the Exposition visitor as soon as he enters the grounds, strikes the festive note of the great "Fair." It recalls the days when the Saturday night frolic of the cowboys who came to town was the chief social institution of the week in bor- der towns. There is so much of Rem- ington's individual art, or, at least, of the kind of art by which he is best known, in this group, that one who had known him merely as a brush artist would at once query the relationship of the sculptor to the famous artist upon first seeing this group without knowing its creator.

Of classical sculpture, the Lewis and Clark Exposition boasts two beautiful groups. These are by Philip Martiny, who has been awarded first rating among decorative sculptors. They adorn the water front at either end of the boat land- ing, "Neptune" and "Amphitrite." The god of the sea and his consort have risen from the deep in their shell chariots. They survey calmly the waters of the tiny lake as if pleased with the vision of beauty.

Neptune stands lordly in his chariot, his right hand loosely closed around the tri- dent, symbol of his power. He is borne along by his sea-horses with bristling manes and fiery nostrils, their superb en- ergy controlled by tiny cherubs who have garlanded them with roses and curb their impetuosity with silken strands.

Amphitrite, fresh from her sea gar- dens, her beautiful form only half con- cealed by the floating drapery which she gathers in one hand, looks the equal of her lord in regal power. She stands as erectly poised and there is in her carriage the very air of command which a powerful goddess must ever show.

cow ATTACKED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS. This group teUs its own story. The sculptor is E. C. Potter, of Connecticut, who is famous for his equestrienne statues.
