It has been suggested by a correspondent prominently connected with
one of the principal architectural clubs of the country that a very
desirable and instructive exhibition could be made up of the year's
work of the various clubs. If collected by some concerted plan, to
include the premiated or mentioned designs in the club competitions,
and all sent to some one city or club, they could be exhibited and
then passed on to the next club in the circuit.

Exchange of ideas and comparison of methods among the architectural
clubs is much to be desired and could not help resulting in
benefit. No more direct or easier way of opening relations of mutual
helpfulness could be found than this, and we trust that some one
will take it upon himself to take the initiative. Our correspondent
intimates that this might be the first step towards a national
federation of architectural clubs. It is rather unsafe to speculate
upon what might take place in such an event.
