The gold medal. the bronze medal and the
two honorable mentions will be awarded
in the Corcoral School on the 18th of this
month, and the competition promises to be
a very close one. A large number Of stu
dents have been working for the medal. and
they are so well matched that even those
most familiar with their work cannot
prophesy the winner with any degree OF
certainty. The judges selected to make the
award this year are J. G. Brown who has
immortalized the New York street arab.
Edward Simmons, the well-known mural
painter. and H. F. Wafman. The last men
toned was once a student in this city, and
the fact that he has already made his mark
in the metropolis is in a great measure due
to the generous assistance which he received
from Mr.. Uhl during his early struggles in
this city. The award is to be made on
Wednesday, and the annual exhibition OF
the school will be open to the public for
the remaining days Of the week. The
drawings of the students entering the COM
petition are to be marked with letters, and
the judges leave their decision in a sealed
envelope so the students may be assured
Of absolute impartiality in the award.

the head of a man by Louis Netting has

its strong simplicity of handling. The por-

Afr-Brakes on Fast Freiehts.

From The Engineering News.
AS for the be:eft which the railway COR
porations have reaped and are still to reap
from the freight air-brake. we do not know
whether to congratulate them upon H or
not, since in the Kindness of their souls
they have given to the public all this bene-
fit. in the shape of better service at lower
rates. Certain il is that the freight air.
brake has made possible remarkable in
crease in freight train speeds, and the
handling of larger and heavier trains. Tn.
der old ideas OF train resistance fast
freights' used to be considered an exc
pensive luxury: but the saving in ;rain-
mems wages far overbalances any addio
uonal cost for fuel when trains are run
at high speed. The public. then. IL not
the railways, is to be congratulated that.
