On one evening there will be sketching from the cast, and on another
an impromptu sketch projet, to be completed in an hour. In addition
to these there will be competed for three of the larger and more
important regular projets, such as were made last season by the Club,
and for which two prizes are offered to those obtaining the first and
second place in point of general merit.
The present officers and Board of Control of the Baltimore
Architectural Club are J.B. Noel Wyatt, W. Emmart, Wm. G. Noelting,
Geo. Worthington, W.M. Ellicott, W.G. Keimig, and Charles Anderson.

The last meeting of the T Square Club of Philadelphia, was one of
unusual activity. The annual election of officers and the competition
of summer sketches as called for by the Club syllabus was found to be
too much for one evening, and consequently the judging of the sketches
was postponed a week.
The following officers were elected: President, Albert Kelsey;
Vice-President, Edgar V. Seeler; Secretary, A.B. Lacey; Treasurer,
David K. Boyd; Executive Committee, Walter Cope, Louis C. Hickman,
William L. Price.
The summer sketches, which were judged at one of the Club's Bohemian
Nights, were of unusual quality and quantity. Walter Cope, who won
first mention, had a large collection of pencil drawings representing
the fruits of his labor in Spain.
Walter Price (who won third place) and John Bissegger had one end of
the room covered with sketches in color and line made during a recent
trip through England, and Wilson Eyre, Jr., the winner of the second
mention, had a variety of subjects beautifully rendered on quaint
paper, and in his well-known and ever novel way.

Music and beer were plentiful, and had a cheering effect upon Titus,
Dull, Kelsey, and Klauder, whose summer work failed to score a
mention.
The syllabus of the Club's work for the coming year has just been
issued and contains some features of special interest. The problems in
design are chosen with much care and the programmes are more explicit
than is usual, and will doubtless contribute to the usefulness of the
work to be done.
The T Square Club appears to be more fortunate than some of the other
architectural clubs in having interested and succeeded in holding the
interest of a number of the stronger of the older men among the local
architects. It now numbers about one hundred and twenty members,
and its work is necessarily having considerable influence in outside
circles.
Its example is a good one to hold up before other and less influential
clubs.
