results Professor Hamlin makes several ex-
tremely enlightening observations. Omitting six
buildings which have come into being since the
1850" vote, three out Of the remaining four in
the later winning ten also appear among the
earlier. The styles Of architecture he divides
into two groups-the Renaissance, in which he
includes five subdivisions, and the Medieval, In
Guiding Romanesqua and Gothic Judging Of the
comparative popuIarities of these styles by the
percentages Of votes gained IN the first" list,
he points out that Classic, French and italian
Renaissance come respectively first, second and
third; then Romanesque and then Gothic The

terror decoration Of important buildings In
1877 Trinity Church, in Boston, stood alone as an
example of really high art in interior decora-
ton" The comparison of these two lists gives
evidence, Professor HamIin thinks. Of a satisfac-
tory progress in National architecture.
The winning list for 1899 is indicated in this
discussion by the word first because second
list is also given Of ten buildings which received
the highest number Of votes after the winning
ten. These, in the order Of their preference are
the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington; the W.
K Vanderbilt house, New-Yorz City; the Fine
Arts Building Chicago; the State Capitol, Al
bany; the Ponce de Leon Hotel, St. Augustine
Fla; the Pittsburg Court House; the Century
Club, New-York City; the State Capitol, Hart
ford Conn. the American Surety Building. New
York City, and the University Club, New-York
City
OF buildings of second merit and Of minor
importance in cost and size il is remarked;
These may be a significant criteria of archi-
tecturaI taste and progress as those most con-
spicuous for grandeur and beauty. The
average quality Of our architecture and the
quality OF our every day architecture are per
haps as important as that Of the ten most beau
tifuI buildings, and the fact that the West ana
South have so small a representation in The
Brochure lists by no means argues a CORE
spending deficiency of good architecture"

stated We're mostly architects or students of
