Our 44th Competition.

A Country Residence.

Only four designs were sent in for this competition, viz.:—"Sans Peur," by L. H. Charlton, with Mr. A. Garnett, Architect, Hastings; "Zam," by F. G. Broadley, C/o Public "Works Department, Wellington; "It," by F. Horinbrook, with Messrs Crichton and McKay, Wellington; and "Bank," by R. Osten, with Anscombe and Smith, Invercargill. The judge, Mr. J. C. Charlesworth of Wellington, who kindly set this subject (and gave a special prize for the best draughtsmanship) reports as follows: "ZAM" placed first shows quite an artistic pro-

duction of simple design and good arrangement of plan, and the cost is well within the amount stated. "IT" has given a good example of planning, but the design is marred by waste space in roof and height of balcony roof over portico being too low. "SANS PEUR" has exhibited an intelligent knowledge of the subject, plan well arranged but the cost far in excess of the limit. "BANK." The plan is well thought out, billiard room too narrow, but the elevations and draughtsmanship weak. None of the designs has exhibited in my opinion first class draughtsmanship, the best sent in is by "ZAM" who is entitled to the extra prize. J. C. CHARLESWORTH.
