The letter excited some interest, and was the subject of a good deal of discussion throughout the county, and one gentleman, Mr. William T. Sutphin, who then owned the parsonage farm, went so far as to offer to give four acres of ground on the highest part of the farm, and one thousand dollars in money towards the erection of the monument, but as no steps were taken towards organizing the movement, the whole matter gradually faded ont.
HISTORY OF THE BATTLE MONUMENT OR- GANIZATION.
The final movement toward the erection of the monument was made in response to an address delivered by ex-Governor Joel Parker, at Freehold, on the ninety- ninth anniversary of the battle, June 28, 1877. A preli- minary meeting for the purpose was held September 17, and the Monmouth Battle Monument Association was organized October 2, 1877. At this meeting Governor Parker was elected president, Major James S. Yard, secretary, and a general committee of three gentlemen from each township in Monmouth county selected to procure the funds necessary for the erection of the monu- ment. The people of the State, and especially of Monmouth county, during the years 1878, 1879 and 1880, contributed nearly $10,000 to this object. On February 2, 1878, the association accepted the offer of a plot of land, to be called "Monument Park," in Freehold, as a gift from the heirs of Daniel S. Schanck. On May 7, 1878, the association was incorporated under the provis- ions of an "Act to incorporate associations for the erec- tion and maintenance of monuments and statues," approved March 19, 1878. The same president and secretary were re-elected, and Mr. John B. Conover made treasurer, Major James S. Yard, Theodore W. Morris, James T. Burtis, John H. Laird and Hal Allaire, the

executive and finance committee. The corner-stone of the monument was laid with Masonic ceremonies, June 28, 1878, in the presence of Governor George B. Mc- Clellan and a large number of distinguished guests. The deed to the park was presented by Mr. Theodore W. Morris, representing the estate of D. S. Schanck. Addresses were delivered by ex-Governors Newell and Parker, by the Hon. S. S. Cox, Mr. B. W. Throckmorton and General Henry B. Carrington. The State of New Jersey, by an act of March 14, 1881, appropriated $10,000, and placed the work under the charge of a commission instructed to select a design, contract for, erect and finish a monument in the park at Freehold, where the battle commenced, June 28, 1778. Under this act the Monument Association selected five trustees -- Mr. Theodore W. Morris, Major James S. Yard, Mr. James T. Burtis, Mr. Hal Allaire and Mr. John B. Conover-to represent them in the newly-created State commission. The State officials to represent the State on this commis- sion were the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Assembly ; Hon. Edward J. Anderson, Comptroller of the Treasury ; General Lewis Perrine, Quartermaster-General, and General William S. Stryker, Adjutant-General. On April 9, 1881, the commission was organized by electing Hon. Garret A. Hobart, President of the Senate, to be president of the commission ; Hon. Harrison VanDuyne, Speaker of the House of Assembly, and Mr. Theodore W. Morris, vice presidents ; Colonel Edwin F. Applegate, secretary, and Mr. John B. Conover, Treasurer. Governor Parker, President of the associa- tion, was invited to be present at each meeting of the commission, and assist them by his advice and counsel. The commission, at this meeting, also ordered a deed to be executed to the State of New Jersey for Monument Park. The Congress of the United States passed a law, approved July 6, 1882, granting an appropriation of $20,000 for the purpose of completing a monument. A committee on design, consisting of Mr. Theodore W. Morris, Hon. Edward J. Anderson, General Louis Per-

rine, General William S. Stryker and Mr. Hal Allaire, on October 16, 1882, invited the submission of designs and specifications for the battle monument, and on March 2, 1883, the design executed by Emelin T. Littell and Donglass Smythe, architects, and J. E. Kelly, sculp- tor, and exhibited by Maurice J. Power, of New York City, was accepted, and a contract was awarded Mr. Power, of the "National Fine Art Foundry," for its erection, for the sum of $36,000. On May 9, 1883, the services of Mr. Edward E. Raht, architect, were secured to superintend the construction of the monument. Hon. Garret A. Hobart, President of the Senate, was elected president of the commission, and Hon. John T. Dunn, Speaker of the House of Assembly, and Mr. Theodore W. Morris, vice presidents, for the year 1882. The officers of the commission for 1883 were Mr. Theodore W. Morris, president, and Hon. John J. Gardner, President of the Senate, and Hon. Thomas O'Connor, Speaker of the House of Assembly, vice-presidents. In 1884, Mr. Morris was re-elected president of the commission, with Hon. Benjamin A. Vail, President of the Senate, and Hon. Alfred B. Stoney, Speaker of the House of Assem- bly, vice-presidents. The other officers of the commis- sion continue at this date the same as first elected in 1881.
