th avenue stands BrownsStatue of Washington. It is a bronze equestrian fig-ure, placed upon a plain granite pedestal. The statueis fourteen and a half feet, and the whole, including thepedestal, is twenty-nine feet high. It occupied the artistfour years in its construction, and cost over $30,000.The statue is universally admired. The artist has, in amasterly manner, overcome the almost insurmountabledifficulty of all equestrian statues, inasmuch as he hassucceeded in making the interest of the horse subordi-nate to that of the rider. The majestic presence ofWashington is the object f/rst to catch and fix the be-holders gaze. The true proportions and fine attitudeof the animal but enter into and complete the inspiringeffect of the perfect statue. Directly lacing that of Washington, is a statue otAbraham Lincoln, which is of itself an attractionto the Square. In the rear of this statue we next be-hold the magnificent salesrooms of the celebratedWheeler and Wilson Sewing-Machine Company.
