In the competition for a chapel located on the terrace of a wealthy
gentleman's country house, Albert Kelsey, who submitted two sets of
drawings, was fortunate enough to win both first and second mentions,
while E. S. Powers was voted third place.
The competition for a pedestal for a monument was well contested, but
the winner of the first place failed to claim his design. Mr. A. C.
Munoz, a former winner of the McKim Travelling Scholarship, won second
place; and Chas. Z. Klauder, third.

Society of Beaux-Arts Architects.
The Committee on Education proposes as the subject for its third
competition.
A LARGE CITY CHURCH
for an Episcopal parish.
The wealth of the congregation has been lavished upon this building to
give it a special character of devotion and beauty, to which the
richness of material and the sedate spirit of its classic architecture
alike contribute.
In addition to the vast body of the church, which is to be so arranged
as to give an impression of amplitude and splendor, provision should be
made for vestry, sacristy, and choir-room, conveniently situated for the
service of the sanctuary. Two small chapels for the celebration of minor
services will be situated so as to be accessible both from the exterior
and from the interior of the church proper.
The plot of ground secured for the building is rectangular, and measures
two hundred feet by four hundred feet, open to streets on all sides.
Sketches of plan, elevation, and section, at a scale of one
thirty-second inch to the foot, will be required of all students wishing
to compete; these sketches should be made on opaque drawing paper, not
tracing paper, and forwarded not later than 22d April, 1895, to Mr. John
E. Howe, 140 West 34th Street, New York City.
For the finished drawings the plan will be rendered at a scale of one
sixteenth inch to the foot, the elevation and section at twice that
scale, and a detail at a quarter of the size of execution. The finished
drawings should in every case be mounted on stretchers. The address to
which they are to be forwarded will be announced later. All drawings
must be sent on or before 24th June, 1895.
