Town Hall for Auckland.

Messrs. J. J. and J. E Clarke, architects, of Melbourne, have been awarded the hrst prize of £400 for the best design for a Town Hall for Auckland. The second prize of £200 went to Messrs William and Herbert Black, also of Melbourne, and the third of £100 to Messrs. Clegg and Miller, of Ballarat. There were forty-six designs handed in. It appears coincidental that all three prizes should go to Victorian architects, when by far the majority of the plans sent in were executed by New Zealand architects. The new Auckland 'lov.n Hall buildings, which are to be erected at the head of Queen street, in the reserve neai the lire bell tower, are to cost £60,000 They will include municipal ofhees, a clock tower, and two concert halls, one of which is to be about the same size as the Wellington Town Hall.
