Sixth New York Monument.
If you visit the field of Gettysburg, do not fail to see the monument erected in commemoration of the part taken in that battle by the Sixth New York Cavalry.
In design and execution it ranks among the first to be found there. The total cost of the monument was $8, 826.90.
It is constructed of granite, 26 feet in height, and bears bronze tablets 6 feet square on three of its four sides. Each of these tablets have characteristic inscrip- tions and in bas-relief. The life size figure of General Thomas C. Devin in military dress, may be seen on one. A second records the battles in which the regiment took part, and the third contains a realistic cavalry charge.
The foremost figure represents Col. Fitz- hugh leading the charge with drawn sabre ; it is a splendid representation of the colonel, the artist using his head for a model. Just

SIXTH N. Y. MONUMENT.
to the right of the colonel are two figures, the first representing a mounted soldier falling from his horse, and the other a com- rade reaching forward to grasp the guidon as it is about to fall from the wounded soldier's hand. The wounded man rep- resents Charles A. Jackson, of Company F, who was wounded at the Battle of Brandy Station, while carrying the guid- on, and the soldier reaching forward to grasp it represents another member of Company F, who caught the falling banner, and who, at the solicitation of the designer, furnished Jackson's picture (he being dead) and his own head for models. The fourth prominent figure, and one that can be readily recognized, is Major J. B. Wheeler. Unbeknown to him the designer secured his portrait and used it for a model, and succeeded admirably in reproducing in face and form that gallant officer.
