public men. It was about this time he made his first sketch of the Indian Hunter, the first statue erected in Central Park. To complete this work he made a special visit to the Indians in the Northwest.

Mr. Ward opened his studio in New York in 1861 and was steadily engaged in the practice of his profession there until his death in 1910. He is justly regarded as one of the foremost American sculptors, his work including some of the most important pieces of public statuary that have been erected in the United States. The following is a partial list of his statues somewhat in the order in which they were made: “Good Samaritan" in Public Gardens, Boston: "Indian Hunter," New York city; statue and reliefs on monument to Commodore M. C. Perry, Newport, R. I.; Seventh Regiment Citizen Soldier, Central Park, New York; Shakespeare, Central Park, New York; Gen. Israel Putnam, Hartford, Conn.; six emblematic decorative figures, State House, Hartford; Washington, Newburyport, Mass.; Lafayette, Burlington, Vt., Gen. Daniel Morgan, Spartanburg, S. C.; Washington, Subtreasury, Wall street, New York; equestrian statue of Gen. George H. Thomas, Washington, D. C.; Pilgrim, Central Park, New York; Garfield monument, Washington, D. C.; Henry Ward Beecher monument, Brooklyn, N. Y.; William E. Dodge, Herald Square, New York; Horace Greeley, City Hall Park, New York; Roscoe Conkling, Madison Square, New York; "Poetry," Congressional Library, Washington, D. C.; equestrian statue of Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pa.; equestrian statue of General Sheridan, Capitol Park, Albany, N. Y. His portrait busts, which include some of our most distinguished citizens, are too numerous to mention. But one should not omit the pediment on the

façade of the Stock Exchange and the quadriga which crowned the Dewey Arch at Madison Square, and the magnificent sculptured column that marks the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va.

Among the many honors he attained were president of the National Academy of Design, first president of the National Sculpture Society, vice-president of the Fine Arts Federation, vice-president of the Century Association, trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, trustee of the American Academy in Rome, member of the Municipal Art Society, Architectural League, National Institute of Architects, American Academy and American Institute of Arts and Letters.

Among the younger sculptors who call themselves Mr. Ward's pupils none has risen to greater eminence than Mr. Daniel Chester French, in whose studio Mr. Ward's model of the Sheridan monument was enlarged. He has generously assisted Mr. Ward's widow in effecting the successful erection of both the Hancock and the Sheridan equestrian statues.
