H ouse and Garden 
how the mere lines of the design have been 
accentuated to good effect by studied planting. 
The photographs necessarily show the con¬ 
tents of the garden at an early stage of growth, 
for they were taken last September. The 
walks are of gravel and their borders are of 
Indiana limestone, which is also the material 
of the architectural enrichment which has 
been given the walls. To this, the fountain 
is a single exception, tor it is made of 'Ten¬ 
nessee marble. Contrary to the intention of 
its designer its surface has been polished, 
thus rendering it strangely light in the picture 
and rather a sharp contrast to the surround¬ 
ing stonework which has already been dark¬ 
ened by the city’s smoke. 
THE PHILADELPHIA ARCHITECTURAL 
EXHIBITION 
T HE T-Square Club’s Annual Exhibition 
of architectural drawings,which was opened 
in the galleries of the Art Club bv a recep¬ 
tion and private view on January 13th, fully 
maintains the reputation which Philadelphia 
has lately enjoyed ior producing art exhibi¬ 
tions of a high 
order. In tact the 
present display 
excels that of last 
year and also 
the year before. 
Some architects of 
New York prefer, 
for well-guarded 
reasons, not to ex¬ 
hibit their most 
highly valued 
work in their own 
city ; Boston has 
butone exhibition 
in two years; and 
to these causes it 
mav be ascribed 
that the annual 
event at Phila¬ 
delphia receives 
cordial support 
from the archi¬ 
tects of not only 
this city but of ail 
chief centers of 
the East. 'This is 
not to say that the 
committee of the 
Club, whose duty 
it is to invite draw¬ 
ings from archi¬ 
tects, has aimed to 
confine itself to this or any other given terri¬ 
tory. Though the work ot foreign architects, 
which has been an important feature of these 
exhibitions in the past, is this year absent, 
the collection is fairly representative of 
America, and the sources of its contributions 
extend from Bos¬ 
ton and Washing¬ 
ton to Chicago 
and St. Louis. 
"The fact that 
two or three sub¬ 
jects have already 
been presented 
before the public 
elsewhere is not 
an objection,when 
among that num¬ 
ber are counted 
the designs for the 
architectural 
treatment of the 
New York 
bridges, the work 
of Mr. Henry 
Horn hostel. 
These are ever a 
marvel of brilliant 
draughtsmanship 
joined with a skill 
at adjusting the 
lines of an engi¬ 
neering structure 
to satisfy the thou¬ 
sands of eyes 
which, will appre¬ 
ciate in the new 
bridges across the 
East River some-
