this city which occupy the northern end
Of the atrium- Although the accepted
drawings (Which are not on exhibition
were submitted by architects from out
OF town the four next best were offered
by architects from this city. a fact which
clearly proves that Washington arcn-
fleets are men Of high standing in theif
profession, and that 20 succeed above
them means ability of no ordinary merit.
Another interesting feature of the eX-
hibitiOn is the work sent from the col
leges of this country where architec-
tural training is taught by the most APP
proved methods. OF the work thus sub
mitted the University OF Pennsylvania
makes the largest showing, the second
place being held by the exhibition from
the Washington University Of St Louis,
Mo. This work is. Of course. purely the
orctiCal as student work must neces-

the Importance with which architecture
is held in this country. and that with the
growth OF the financial conditions. the

1t seems to be somewhat unfortunate
that this exhibition is in progress con-
currently with the exhibition of the New

venting some OF the New York archi-
tects from sending in work. The society,
however is fortunate in being able 10 eN-

OF the brigade of the District of CoIum-
bia National Guard. viii appoint the
commander Of the local naval battalion
tomorrow. and the question that VIII
then confront him VIII be what shall
be done with the present ranking officer
of the battalion, Lieutenant Commander
s. G Hopkins General Harries has had
the matter Of placing a regular naval
officer at the head of the battalion for
some time. The names Of several Off
GERS who would probably accept the ap-
pointment were before him. but one of
them was doing duty in the Philippine
Islands. and General Harries. therefore.
deferred action until sJbe officer should
arrive here. General Harries was busy
when the officer returned to the city. and
did not see him until he came back from
a ten days vacation al Atlantic City.
General Harries now has seen all OF the
candidates, and is expected TO make his
selection tomorrow. after having a final
conference with one Of the men.

at the matter IN the proper light. He

liberty 10 do so, but it is believed that
Hopkins VIII be retained as second IN

Several changes VIII be made IN the
battalion under the new regime. Al

attended 10 heretofore. 1T is said special
attention VIII be paid TO them from now
