m mum CHRONICLE. His Eightieth Birthday. Chief Game Warden Tinsley of the Ontario Government Service, recently celebrated his eightieth birthday. Mr. Tinley has held his present position for the past seventeen years, which he took after 38 years service on the Great 'Western and Grand Trunk Railways. It was on account of his expert knowl. edge of garne, that he was made chic! Owing to the heavy losses in been as 3 result of the past winter, which condition was shown by the spring report of the Provincial Apisriat, than is. no doubt, much less honey in On- tario than st this time [at you. Robbing standing grain crops of all but the chafl, eating off whole bean fields and a number of farm gardens, and pesting young fruit trees by nib- bling the new buds and cutting the tender stems, dense clouds of grass- hop rs are playing havoc with parts of orfolk county. Around Vittoria Mr Hill’s design, which was rejected in favor of Mr. Hebert’s, was quite a departure fr m tradition and diflered from the ot ers in almost every re. spect. It showed the late King vested in his coronation robes, wearing the state crown and holdin the orb and sceptre, seated in the hair of Hom- of Norfolk county. Around Vittoria the pest is worst, but in sections of Charlotteville. North and South Wals- ingham and Windham townships there are fields similarly afflicted, and heavy lessee are being experienced by a large number of farmers. The district: where the soil is light and sandy are most seriously affected. The light sand belt that crosses Norfolk extends over rt of Elgin county, and it is feared amage is being done there as well. Mr. Hebert is already at work on his magnificent undertaking, but it is not. expected that the memorial will be completed and in place for upwards of two years. In the meantime the task of preparing Phillyss Square for the memorial will be undertaken by Mr. J. Frederick Todd, an expert. landscape ardener. The square will be remodel ed and its beauty will be immeasurably enhanced by the re- arrangement of walks. flower beds and trees. age he occupied during a portion of the coronation solemnity in Westmins- ter Abbey. In front of the chair was a large plaza, the approach to which was guarded by two lions. Behind the chair a granite wall was raised, in which were set four extremely mas~ sive baa-reliefs depicting incidents in the King’s life. At either side of this wall were groups of bronze statuary; behind the wall a fountain was dis. played. The design was one worthy of the sculptor of the Strathcona me- morial. In every respect, it was a beautiful work of art, and there is a widespread feeling of regret among ar- tists that it was not chosen. One cannot help recalling the piteous plea of Mr. Walter Allward, the celebrated sculptor, that Canadian cities should not demand commonplace statues of a portly gentleman in the act of step- ping off a high pillar. A model for the memorial was also submitted by Mr. G. W. Hill, AB. C.A., of Montreal, who designed the South African memorial on Dominion That on the right is'allegorical of peace and concord among the various nationalities from which the popula- tion of Canada is drawn. It shows English, French, Irish and Scotch nap tionalities living in a common family, each united to the other by a common interest. All the groups and figures which ornament the granite base will be cast in bronze, and in size will easily dominate anything of a like nature in Montreal. The reverse of the pedestal carries a figure symbolical of the Spirit of Tolerance. Its upraised arm it holds aloft a fragment of a broken chain. The figure proclaims the lib- erty of conscience, the severance of the fettera of the past, and the tri- umph of a new era of harmony and fraternity in the Empire. It is beau- tif‘gl in its conception. On either side of the pedestal are two magnificent groups. That on the left typifies “Abundance.” It shows in its entity the elements of stability and wealth; instruction, preparing youth for a career of usefulness; agri- culture. the inexhaustable source of strength and fertility; and industry- thgfield of activity_and pro_sperity._ The pedestal oi the memorial is mg. gestive of the Monumental and De- corative French Architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and in outline is particularly plowing to the eye. "The front of the pedestal is orna- mented by a figure of Peace, who is represented in an attitude of confi- dence and quiet repose. The right hand, which is uprsised, holds an olive branch (the emblem of peace) while the left carries a shield and sword, symbolical of armed peace. the segurity of modern nations. _ Mr.‘ Hebert’s design calls for a monument 40 feet in height. The base. which will be carried up to a height of thirty feet, will be surmounted by a bronze statue of the late King, ten feet in height. His late Majesty will be seen in his Parliamentary, rather than his coronation, robes, but he will hold the aoeptre, which is indicative of authority and power, and the state crown will rest upon a table at his Glty Selects Philippe Hebert's Statue of King Edward.
