He was killed yesterday morning about 7 a.m., and was quietly buried in the afternoon.” He early showed a preference for the sculptor’s art, in which he made rapid progress, and in 1912, when under 18, exhibited his first work at the Royal Academy, “Elfreda,” a bust of his sister; and in 1914 he was again represented in the Academy, this time by an animal group, “True Foes Once Met are Joined till Death.” This represented an Indian elephant with his massive head and trunk crushing into the earth, as he kneels over him--a tiger--who, in his last agony, with claws extended, tears vainly at his huge antagonist. In the 1915 Royal Academy was the portrait bust of “Winnie,” considered by many who are entitled to speak with authority as showing high technical experience. Also in this year’s Royal Academy (1916) he is represented by a group, “Lions and Prey,” modelled by him three years ago. He made many studies of animals and birds at the Zoological Gardens, in which he showed remarkable grasp of form, movement and character. He was well known as a fine swimmer, being a member of the Lewisham Swimming Club. He won, among other races, the 100 yards junior championship of London (under 16 years) in 1910, the 1,000 yards championship river race of the Lewisham Swimming Club in 1911–12, and on several occasions the old Askean quarter-mile championship. He was, besides, a member of the Blackheath Harriers, and was well known as a good cross-country runner. [Illustration: =Stephen Gabriel Dadd.=] =DADE, WILLIAM=, No. 10600, 3rd Battn.
