The Architectiiral Photographic Association will hold its second exhibition in I ^ cember , when subscribers can choose prints to the amount of their subscription . We were in hopes the exhibition this year would be held in the gallery of the Architectural Union ; and regret to see that oh accou ^ of this not being ready , the exhibition will be opened at the gallery of the Old Water Colour Society , in
Pall Mali East . Among the features of interest promised this year are the whole architectural photographic collections of Macpherson of Kome , and of Crinelta of Venice .

The cost will be very nearly £ 100 , 000 , namely , £ 75 , 000 for the university buildings , provided from the university funds , and £ 20 , 000 for a museum and library , granted by the parliament of Canada . The coping stone of the tower has no ^ been laid . The architects are Messrs . Cumberland and Storm , The style adopted
is Norman , with some approach in outline to Romanesque . As a whole , the structure is of a massive character , and the tower is bold and simple . The design is said to be new to Canada . The material is chiefly stone , with some proportion of brick . The works have been in progress for about two years .
The general outline of the buildings is a square , with an inner quadrangle of 200 feet square , the north side , being open to the park . The buildings are designed to be seen from the Grand Lake , and from distant parts of the town . The main , front is about 300 feet long , and in this front is the Norman tower already spoken of , which is about 100 feet high , with four pinnacles , now in course of construction . These will make the total height 130 feet . The height of the facade is arranged in two stories . The entrance is under the tower , which
communicates with a central hall . The east fac ; ade is 260 feet in length , and likewise includes a tower , but of smaller proportions * The west front is 200 feet long . The building includes a central hall of the whole height of the building , a library of 80 feet by 30 feet , in the upper floor , a museum of the like dimensions , a hall of convocation , 90 feet by 38 feet , oi the full height , a dining hall , 56 feet by 34 , of less height , lecture rooms , senate chamber , chancellor ' s rooms , vice-chancellor ' s rooms
