An Imposing Sight.
In st. Colomba's chapel the wrought
iron c~andlesticks that shoot out their
twisted branches several feet above
our heads were wrested from perhaps
a more congenial background in the
ballroom of some Italian palace. And
these branching ~candlesticks are not
all that Italy contributes, for the cele.
brated Barberini tapestries, now in the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art, but des.
tined some day to hang on the dull
gray cathedral walls, were made in
Rome nearly 800 years ago. Set in the
floor before the high altar and framed
in a rim of hammered brass will be a
tile more than thirteen centuries old
from the antique shrine at Ephesus
where, as tradition tells us. st. John
the Divine was buried.
Truly as the eye roves from color to
color and from stone to metal and
glass the fancy rides on the winds, and
stories of the far places which have
contributed to the wonderful assem-
blage and even snatches Of the native
songs of those distant countries strike
across ones memory.

Coming Season Promises to Be a Ban
ner One.
The United Hunts Racing associa-
ton believes hat the coming season
will be the greatest in the history of
amateur racing. Announcement of the
approved dates for the year shows
that meetings will be held at points
that have never raced before, and the
support will come not alone from
those that have hitherto been patrons
of this branch of the sport.
Military races will be a strong fea-
ture Of the year. They are being ar
ranged for at various points and will
be on the fat and over The steeple-
chase courses. The war department is
aiding in every way the progress Of
these races. At Fort Ethan Allen. Vt,
they are building a steeplechase course
two miles in n circuit for the pur-
pose of developing the horses now
%quartered there. At other posts. espe-
cially at Fort Riley, Kan. and at Fort
Oglethorpe, Ca, horses are being
schooled as jumpers under the advice
Of the experts.
The decision of the United Hunts
Racing association to give a spring
meeting is a new departure. Begin
ming at Richmond on May 20, then to
Baltimore for the meeting Of the Mary
land United Hunts. followed by the
United Hunts and the Brookline meets,

NobIest Building In America.
This magnificent structure will be
the noblest building in America. In it
Americans will possess one of the
very greatest and grandest Of the
worlds churches. When completed it
will cover 99,5OO square feet and will
take the fourth place among the sane
tuaries Of the Christian world. Those
larger are St. Peters. Rome; the
Cathedral of Seville, in Spain. and the
Duomo of Milan.
Although in architecture the Cathe-
dral of st. John the Divine is dis
tinctiye and represents modern Amer
lean art. it follows the traditions of
cathedral building to some extent. In
a general way it may be termed round
arched gothic. The most conspicuous
feature of the cathedral will be its
central tower. The westerly tower
will be 245 feet high. The total in
terror length Of the structure is to be
525 feet. The dome will be 252 feet
high.
The total cost is estimated at $1O,.
100000.
The dedication ceremony will be en-
tirely religious in character, as pre-
scribed for the dedication in the
prayer book.
A special place in the ecclesiastical
procession will be provided for Presi.
dent Taft if he is able to attend. The
guests will assemble in the synod hall
and proceed to the south door of the
cathedral, at the western end Of the
choir. The procession will in
reverse order out of the synod hall

Not a Local Product.
In the old world cathedrals interest
centers in the fact that the building
is a local product. 1t was built by the
personal work Of some little commune
ty without money, without machinery
and with only the materials that could
be quarried or manufactured in the vi
entity.
In our modern medieval structure
how different the circumstances! Con-
tract labor supplies the hands, and
each stone is laid to the tune Of at
least four languages. But it is in the
distance from which the materials
themselves have been brought that the
cathedral loses all possibility of purely
local flavor.
Beneath the granite columns and
around the bases of the walls CLOVIS
the rose colored stone of Georgia, and
under that in subdued light lies Penn
sylvania's cool green onyx. Vermont
