These figure sketches embrace five typical examples from the late Lord
Mayor's show, in which Mediaeval, Tudor and Stuart costumes were
(thanks to the research and artistic knowledge of Hon. Lewis
Wingfield) so pleasantly associated. We have selected five, both on
account of their diversity and also because of their being
representative costumes of different eras in English history. The
dresses, for magnificence and accuracy of detail, have rarely been
equalled.

COMPETITIVE DESIGN FOR THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE, NEW YORK,
N.Y. MR. GLENN BROWN, ARCHITECT, WASHINGTON, D.C.

Although the selection of material is a matter that can be well
dispensed with until the general design has been determined, the
architect suggests as in harmony with the treatment, Westerly, R.I.
granite for the body of the cathedral, with trimmings of carved
capitals, bases, columns, belts, arches and other ornamental stonework
of a Georgia marble. The granite is cream color, with a suspicion of
red, and the marble is of the same shade but a trifle darker and more
positive. Both from chemical and physical tests they are apparently of
equal strength and durability. The colors suggested would not give the
building the cold appearance of white marble, or the somewhat sombre
appearance produced by gray granite.

The stones are to be laid in square blocks, regular courses and
rock-face in the body of the building, with square and sharp corners.
The columns, lintels, sills, belts, finials and mouldings are to be
close hammered work, with carving where indicated on the drawings.

The different tower roofs are to be fine-hammered or rubbed granite.
The distinction between the tower roofs and the body of the building
is not brought out clearly in the different drawings, as this would
require shading all the granite stonework except the tower roofs, and
shading is prohibited by the instructions.

The interior of the church is designed to be finished in marbles of
harmonious colors, with carved and other decorated work, as shown in
the section. The surface of the floor is to be laid in mosaic tile,
the presumption being that fixed pews will not be used in the
cathedral. Ample storage
