He called him "Our Bowery brother," and "the Gentleman from West Brighton," and he passed some delightful moments in observing his gruesome familiarity with the maids, his patronage of the grave Jaegers, and his fraternal attitude toward the head of the house. It was great to see him hook a heavy arm in an arm of the tall, military Herr Foerster, and to see the latter drop it.
Indeed, he spied his friend Tiefel there, and presently Richter came from the ranks to greet him. "My friend," he said, "you are made second lieutenant of our company, the Black Jaegers." "But I have never drilled in my life," said Stephen. "Never mind. Come and see the Leader." The Leader, smiling a little, put a vigorous stop to his protestations, and told him to buy a tactics.
On the summit of the half-dome is a group representing the Harvest, and before it, on two splendid columns, are Rain, a woman bearing the cup of the waters, and Sunshine, another with a palm branch. All three are by Albert Jaegers. At the other extremity of the court each of the two pylons is surmounted by a bull, wreathed in garlands, and led by man and maiden to the sacrifice.
Jaegers has here given with perfect restraint a sense of generous weight, of richness, profusion and mass that are highly satisfying in their artistic aspect and are valuable interpreters of the message of the Court. August Jaegers, a younger brother of this sculptor, has embellished the arcade of this court with an attractive repeated attic figure.
Bull's head with festoons, skull motive, at base of corner pavilions at four corners of north court, Roman. Lion's head around cornice, designed by the architect, modelled by artisans of Exposition. Bulls' heads above cornices between festoons of flowers around court. Roman motive. Statue above south dome, "Harvest," by Albert Jaegers. Seated figure with horn of plenty.
The colonel and Rex went off once or twice with the Jaegers, but in a halfhearted way, bringing back more experience than game. Then Rex went on a sketching tour.
He has been an indefatigable worker, holding his art above all else. Solving technical problems by himself, studying the world around him with an intense love in all his undertakings, Albert Jaegers has come to be a power among his fellows.
Fruits and grains on either side. "Abundance," statue repeated four times over each gateway, by August Jaegers. Vases repeated twenty-four times on balustrade around court; simple design, in harmony with classic plan of court. Wreaths above cornice around court, harvest motive, wheat and grape. By August Jaegers. Harvest motive.
The Leader was in command of one. And in response to his appeals, despite the presence of officers of higher rank, the President had given Captain Nathaniel Lyon supreme command in Missouri. Stephen stood among the angry, jeering crowd that lined the streets as the regiments marched past. Here were the 'Black Jaegers. No wonder the crowd laughed.
Within, their vaulted ceilings are delicately colored and modeled in faint relief after ancient classic designs, suggesting harvest scenes. The spandrels in the triangles over the curve of the arch and the four times repeated figures which serve as pilasters in the paneled attic space above, are by August Jaegers.
