Another stage in the progress Of the plan for
building Protestant Cathedral in this city is
reached to-day, when the time for submitting
designs for the structure comes to an end.
Eghty-seyen designs had been received yester-
day. The committee which viii examine them
Is charged with delicate and important duty.

formed intelligently and with the purpose of
providing structure Of rare merit from an
architectural point of view.

should be sale, was not one Of them, and 10 all

9 PREMIER himself. If the vote on the " Dark
Lantarnp blu had been taken yesterday instead
Of six months ago. nothing Ia suer than that
