A Monument for Greely
Horace Greely is at last to have a statue in the City Hall Park of New York at an expense of $25,000. A committee has had the matter in charge for 16 years, and with $10,000 in hand the contract has been signed with the sculptor, Alexander Doyle. It is thought there will be no difficulty in raising the remaining $15,000 necessary to complete the statue.
