It would be difficult to find ia the
pages of fiction anything to equal the
following prosaic fact, which has just
happened in Scotland: A Captain Heath
cote rents a moor from year to year.
Last year while out shooting he lost "a
diamond ring. This year he was re-
minded of it by the anniversary Of his
loss, and sitting by the fire and taking
up a piece of peat to put on he had
scarcely uttered tho words, cit il year
today since I lost my diamond ring,
than his companion was surprised 70
hear the words quickly followed by
land here it is The peat had been
cut from the very moor where the loss
had occurred, and hence its recovery.
No other account Of extraordinary re-
covery of damon Is could equal that
unless perhaps that of a lady who drop

character, under the title Of the Ameri-
can Institute OF Architects. It's mem
bers were not more in earnest or more
enthusiastic than had been their older
brethren of the institution. - but their
environment was more conducive to sue
cess. The country was Yeas appreciat-
ing more and more the value of beauti-
full as well as useful structures, and the
ranks Of the profession were filing up
with bright young Americans and tai
ented, well trained foreigners It was
yet ten years later before this local So
ciety was joined by architects outside
New York in the effort TO unite in fell
1owship the architects of this continent
and combine their efforts so as to pro-
mote the artistic, scientific and praoti-
cal efficiency OF the profession .
Then, in 1857, those who remained OF
the membership Of the first organization
united with the New York society in
obtaining a charter for a new rational
body Of axchitects, Judge Roosevelt Of
the New York supreme court granting
the document, with cordial wishes fo1
their success The title of the New
York body was retained. and during the
first four years the growth IN mem Der
ship was rapid and steady. Then came
the outbreak Of the civil war IN 1861.
So many of the best OF the architects
went to the front that it was found i'm
possible to continue the institute meet
ings, and SO they were suspended for
about three years. But the institute did
not disband and before the contest was
concluded resumed its functions as they
We're before the war.
Since 1864 its membership has in
creased every year, its progress being
according to periods of ten years. for in
1867 just a decade after the formation
of the national organization. 20 years
after the birth of the New York insti
tute and 80 after that Of the original
institution, . it was decided, IN order
to give all possible advantages to mem
bers scattered over the country, to inau-
gurate a scheme of branches, or sschap-
ters The Philadelphia chapter was
first in the field after the one in New
York. and chapters in Chicago, Cincin-
natl. Boston. Baltimore, Albany, Rhode
Island. San Francisco, st. Louis, Indi-
annapolis, Washington and elsewhere
have since then been instituted.
In 1889 the Western Association Of
Architects, which had been formed five
years previously, Joined itself to the in
stitute. The underlying principle of
this organization was exactly similar to
that adopted by the institute, and of
such numerous membership was the

will not only not be disappointed, but
they viii get more profit and entertain
ment out of the coming gathering than
they have ever before realized on such
an occasion.
The name Of the organization to
which these men belong is the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects, and the
committee of arrangements, whose mem
bers are laboring to prepare a fitting
programme, both from a professional
and a social standpoint, is made up of
E. H. Kendall. Charles F. McKim, Al

Bloor. Papers are promised from W.

livan and R. W. Gibson. To many
readers these names may not count for
much but 90 the architect and the stu
dent of the evolution of the American
idea in architecture they mean good
deal, for these men are numbered
among those who have contributed i'm
mensely toward the progress that has
been apparent in America during these
later years, both in the direction Of
national school Of architecture, and also
toward the creation Of buildings that
are really beautiful and admirably
adapted each to the use for which it is
designed.
The prototype of the American Insti-
tute of Architects came into being near
" 60 years ago, when one less than
dozen Of the few competent architects
then practicing their profession in the
United States gathered at the Aston
House, in New York, and formed the
American Institution Of Architects.
The names of the men who were inter
ested in that organization have since
been written large in the list of the
pioneers who paved the way the archi-
tects of today are treading with such
marked results These latter are no
doubt, as a body, far in advance of
those who passed before in freshness Of
design, in harmonious treatment and in
achievements, but still, when due allow
ance is made for the narrower opportu-
mites enjoyed and their work is exam
ined, it must be conceded that the found
ers of the institution" possessed abil-
ity that must be regarded with great
respect. Among them were Alexander
J. Davis, architect of the curious cathe-
drallike pile (recently torn down to
make way for a modern apartment
building) that for SO many years shell
tered the University Of New York;
Thomas U. Walter of Philadelphia. who
designed the buildings Of Girard college
and later the dome and extensions Of
the capitol at Washington; William
Strickland, architect. of the United
States mint at Philadelphia and the
Tennessee state capitol at Nashville;
John Haviland, who had been a pupil
of James Elmer, the blind architect,
and others of scarcely less note In May
of the next year a second meeting was
held at Philadelphia, when a more form
al organization was effected, the roll
bearing the names of % professional, 2
associate and rs honorary members
