The Architectural Exhibition in Philadelphia 
fice of freedom and individuality. 
The T-Square Club’s Traveling 
Scholarship is represented by six 
drawings, made in competition 
for the award, and seventeen 
sketches, brought back from 
abroad, by the third holder, Mr. 
L. Morris Leisenring. Several 
drawings, submitted in competi¬ 
tions of the Chicago Architec¬ 
tural Club, are contributed by 
Mr. J. H. Phillips. His enter¬ 
taining “Automobile Tavern,” 
delightfully presented, is more 
pleasing in perspective than in 
plan, and owes much of its in¬ 
terest to the picturesque site 
represented. The stretchers are few in num- beside a water-course within high banks. “A 
ber, but such work as Mr. J. F. Abele’s “A Fragment of the Parthenon,” drawn at large 
Metropolitan Cathedral,” 
Mr. F. L. Ackerman’s “A 
Museum of Fine Arts for 
a Small City,” Mr j. G. 
Dentz’s “ A Governor’s 
Mansion in a State Capi¬ 
tal,” and “ A Parish 
Church,” by Mr. G. H. 
Bickley, is of a very satisfy¬ 
ing order. Mr. John Wyn- 
koop’s suburban church 
and parish house is one of 
the best rendered drawings 
in the exhibition. 
Considerable space is 
given to both the Philadel¬ 
phia traveling scholarships. 
Mr. Ira W. Hoover, fifth 
holderof the John Steward- 
son Memorial Scholarship, 
has contributed a superb 
selection of fifty-eight 
measured drawings and 
sketches. Of these a large 
monochrome of the Arch 
of Titus at Rome is un¬ 
doubtedly the best produc¬ 
tion, and is surely the finest 
drawing ever produced by 
a Philadelphia- traveling 
scholar. The primary end 
of Mr. Hoover’s work is 
truth; and it is gained, we the arch of titus at rome 
must confess, at some sacri- from a measured drawing by ira w. hoover 
Monument Competition in 
Philadelphia, which was won by 
Messrs. Lordand Hewlett. (See 
House and Garden for May, 
1902.) The Philadelphia visi¬ 
tors admiring the graceful and 
exceedingly dignified shaft pro¬ 
posed for this monument, still 
indulge the hope that they may 
soon see it become a part of the 
embellishment of their city. 
A rather good selection has 
been made of the drawings 
offered by the architectural 
schools. Pennsylvania, Colum¬ 
bia, Cornell and Washington 
University at St. Louis, are
