To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WTLLIAM TWEEDDALE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented or produced a Design for a Fountain, of which the following is a specification.

This fountain is designed to be in cast-iron, and the same is represented in the accom panying photograph.

The basin l) is polygonal. The rim is a series ofarch-shaped ornaments. Below the rim there are pendent arches e, and at the angles the rosette ornaments e'.

Around the standardf, supporting the basin B, there are flying buttresses g in ornamental open-work. There is a conical base, 11thatis 2o ribbed, and from which rises said standardf.

The basin O is polygonal, with leaiiet ornaments around the rim and pendent open-work arches k. There are volute ornaments lat the lower end of the arches, and rosettes m upon vertical stems rising above the angles. The basin O is supported upon aclusterof columns, n, with molded caps and bases. and below the columns is a conical base, o, with volute leatlet ornaments, as shown.

and leaflet ornaments, as shown, complete the design.

This design, as a whole, is beautiful in apy pearance, and rendered still more so by the water when it is falling upon the different ornaments and dripping from them.
