Swede Sam tried to win the roll of the

LONDON. Dec. l6.--The new Roman Catho-
Inc Cathedral OF Wee,minster--the fir st
cathedral of the old faith that has stood
In the metropolitan see of England since
tho Reformation-is to be consecrated on
Dec. 29 when Archbishop Bourne will be
enthroned, and from that date forward will
be heard the daily chant of the liturgy.
The project proposed by Cardinal Man
ming in 1855, as being the great hope OF his
predecessor, Cardinal Wiseman. which the
latter did not live to see take practical
shape, is thus brought to completion after
thirty-eight years Questions Of funds OF
archit ectural design. Of site had all to be
considered, and it was only eight years
ago that actual building began.
Since then Londoners have seen grow up.

Of the river and half mile west Of the
Abbey, magnificent st ructure. the like OF
which, in external outline, has never been
known in England as place Of worship.
The Cathedral is, indeed, the most notable
building architectlrally Of all the great
enterprises which have transformed the
appearance Of the historic part Of London
in the last few years. The striving after a
Gothic revival in public building. which
ruled among London architects through
most Of the nineteenth century. is def
nitely abandoned.
1t had its last example In the great array
Of gray masonry which forms the Royal
Courts of Justice in the Strand. Their
architect, the late G. S. Street. was an ex-
tremely devout man, who attended church
services at o'clock in the morning. sum-
mer and winter Combined with real
genius for his profession, he held the pro-
found belief that it should aim solely at
the style Of the fourteenth century in any
decorative work 1t undertook.
The Government let him have his way,
and in the result we see group OF massive
and solemn buildings, impressive un-
doubtedly in themselves, but jarrtng dis
cordantly along the side Of crowded, busy
street of modern life, and modern shops
and offices. Except In the domain Of very
Anglican ecclesiastical architecture, this was
the death knell of the Gothic revival. and
since then--the courts were built eighteen
years ago-the entire school of so-called
claesicsm has been breaking up and dis
appearing.
It was strangling new ideas; and, even
when these were not forthcoming, it was
not adaptable to municipal tendencies
If any school remains it could put forth no
more precise definition than free Rem
aissance." and very free at that.
All that the brighter of the younger
architects stand out for now is strength
and solidty and decent form in their de-
signs. The new Catholic Cathedral has all
of these.
The great historic traditions to which
II must conform made the question of style

Dutch immigrants had known at home.
Then. too, the new bridge permits close
and dsilusioning view OF the houses over
which il passes in its landward course.
Most of the houses within sight from the
old bridge seem remote, and the tangle Of
streets beneath the structure is speedily
lost to sight and forgotten in the vast red
Sahara of Manhattan's East Side.
From the new bridge, however. one looks
down upon roofs that seem distant by no
very perilous leap, and sees pedestrian
moving about in the streets below, while
a row of commonplace houses Is in full
view from the New York ent rance.
Pedestrians pause on the bridge to watch
pigeon growers on the New York roofs
polling their birds out for exercise, and up
to the foot way of the bridge come cries
from the 81 reefs below.
Midway the bridge. the crooked st tream

a singuary pict uresque aspect. Liberty

the coppery sun smiles dim through half

the other bridge, fetches the mind back

town beneath.
