+Club Notes.+

Nearly simultaneously with the announcement that the T Square Club,
of Philadelphia, has been awarded the medal offered by the St. Louis
Architectural Club for the best Club-exhibit of Mention Designs comes
the news of John Stewardson's lamentable death. As a founder of the
Club, as its president, and for years a member of its Executive
Committee, he remained to the last one of its most enthusiastic
supporters. Many of his drawings are now in the Club rooms, and his
record as the winner of many competitions is upon the minutes of the
Club.

His generous aid, sincere criticism, and deep interest in the welfare
of the Club contributed more to the advancement of architecture in
Philadelphia than can now be realized.

The ninth annual Exhibition of the Chicago Architectural Club will be
held at the Art Institute, Chicago, opening March 27, 1896.

This exhibition will include architectural drawings and perspectives
in all renderings, scale, details of public and private work, projets,
landscape drawings of parks and other public improvements, works of
sculpture and artistic exhibits of works of the allied arts.

Detailed information with circular of instructions and application
blanks can be had by addressing Frank M. Garden, Secretary, Chicago
Architectural Club, 274 Michigan Ave., Chicago.

In the seventh annual competition for the Robert Clark testimonials,
held under the auspices of the Chicago Architectural Club, the prize
winners are as follows: Addison B. Le Boutillier, Boston, Mass., gold
medal; William Leslie Welton, Lynn, Mass., silver medal; John F.
Jackson, Buffalo, N.Y., bronze medal; Harry C. Starr, Chicago, first
honorable mention (bronze medal); Edward T. Wilder, Chicago, second
honorable mention (bronze medal). L. J. Millet, R. C. Spencer, and
Irving K. Pond composed the adjudicating committee.

Messrs. Thomas Hastings, John Galen Howard, and Albert L. Brockway,
the committee of the Architectural League of New York upon the annual
competition for the League gold and silver medals, announce the program
for this year. Drawings are to be submitted on or before February 6. The
problem is the principal entrance of a terminal railroad station. Plan,
elevation, and detail are required.
