comment: Entered from New York Times article; stated time is approximate. This meeting took place on the day when a bronze statue group depicting George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (best known as the creator of the Statue of Liberty), a gift to the city by Charles Broadway Rouss, was unveiled at W.114th Street at the junction of Manhattan and Morningside Avenues. The article states: "In the evening members of Revolutionary and historical societies attended a meeting in Carnegie Hall, where addresses were made commemorating the anniversary of the battle of Lexington and Lafayette's departure for America."
