Show Preston PqWbbj, a son ofUiitAM Powers, of "Ureek Slave'' fame, has been a resident of Denver for some years, and has produced a piece of sculpture called "The Closing Kra," which the women of Colorado have decided is to be exhibited af tho Columbian Col-umbian exposition in Chicago. A local critic says: "It hasn't sutlieient merit in it to excite envy in tho breasts of the stone figure cutters now at work on the capitol building, ('lay thou art and unto clay thou ought to return, or else be sent to Wonderland tu be exhibited as a freak of art. The idea of putting this rubber buffalo and kodac Indian on to one of America's greatest poets (.1. (i. WhittIEU), with the hope, of sending it forth on the wings of song is ridiclous in the extreme." It is really to be hoped tho marble is not as woolly as is tho criticism. |
