In the recent draughtsmen's competitions, Boston has been more than
ordinarily fortunate. The medal in both the competitions of the Society
of Beaux-Arts Architects has come to Mr. F. M. Mann, of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a number of the first and
second mentions have also come to Boston. In fact, nearly if not quite
all the designs sent from Boston have received some recognition at the
hands of the jury.
A complimentary dinner has been arranged for by the M. I. T.
Architectural Society in honor of the winners of the last competition.
The annual competition for the Architectural League gold medal, which
was awarded to Mr. A. H. Wright, also resulted in adding another victory
to the credit of Boston draughtsmen.
Interest in these contests is not purely local, however, for
Philadelphia, Rochester, and several other cities have furnished
contributors and shared the honors. Mr. H. L. Duhring, Jr., of
Philadelphia, was awarded the Architectural League silver medal.

Fulfilling the bequest of the late Arthur Rotch leaving $5,000 to the
Boston Architectural Club, this sum has been paid to the treasurer of
the club by the executors of Mr. Rotch's estate. The income only is to
be expended in the purchase of books to form an architectural library.
