...settlers in the colony will stand in close proximity. The sculptor who has been selected to execute the design is a young man of promise, Mr. D. C. French, who has already modeled some well known figures, among them the "Minute Man" at Concord, Mass., and a bust of Emerson. In his pretty little studio at Concord the work of modeling has been done and the casting has just been completed at the works of Bounard at New York.

The lecturer described the characteristics of the Olympic games. He said : "Euphidos, after winning in one of the three-mile races, was so elated by his victory that he leaped out of the stadium and ran home to tell the news at Argos. It was sixty-three miles away, and he arrived there the same evening. The best jump of antiquity was one of fifty-three feet, and there can be no mistake in the figures...
