Our 81st Competition.

We offer a prize of £1 is. for the design adjudged the STONE PULPIT. The pulpit is proposed to be erected in an Anglican Cathedral, and to be worthy, both in design and scale, of the important and prominent position it is to occupy. The style of the cathedral is decorated Gothic, and the pulpit is to harmonise with its surroundings, but freedom and originality of design are expected. The position will be against the east wall of the nave on the north side. Access to be gained by stone steps. A wooden sounding board over the pulpit to be included. Materials. —A good hard freestone, with marbles of various colours where desired. Drawings. —One plan (or two if necessary), section, two elevations, to Hn. -scale. Details of mouldings and enrichments \ full size. Perspective. The drawings to be finished in Indian ink, no shading, except the perspective, which is to be finished in watered ink and shaded in monotone, and to show the background and immediate surroundings. The dimensions, etc., are left to the competitors, but the height of the floor of the pulpit should not be much less than 6ft., nor the internal diameter less than 4ft.
