which attended the so-called competition, our contem-
porary sees reasons to apprehend that Mr. Steven's
model, which was selected in defiance alike of taste,
common sense, and the express stipulations of the com-
petition, will be set aside in favour of the Baron's. This
will be to supersede a bad job by a worse, and we have
no doubt that the lesson thus inculcated will not be
thrown away upon British artists.
