THE DIAL
[July 1,


one-fourth came from this country. It is proposed to use the money as a foundation for an annual English literature prize at the Horsham Grammar School. Lady Shelley's monument to the poet, at University College, Oxford, was formally inaugurated by the donor a few days ago. A Tennyson Memorial is now projected for Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight. There are two proposals before the projectors a committee formed in Freshwater itself. One is to substitute for the existing wooden beacon on the highest part of the Freshwater Down a stone tower. The other is the erection of a granite monolith in the form of an lona cross at the corner of Farringdon-lane, along which the poet often walked. The committee ask for 500. About half that sum has already been collected.
