ARTISTIC FEATURES OF
NEW CATHEDRAL NAVE
representative of the firm In the. Now
York office, "It la the Individualistic
touch of tho stone cutter Hint Imparts
to 'the finished work Its tinman charm.
And In u devotional building this Im
press of careful, If not lovlpg, labor Is
much to be desired."
In their report to tho trustees, the
architects said: "Careful nnd pro
longed study has not led us to change
our original conception of the general
orguntsm, proportions nnd design of
tho nave. Wo hold that tho portion
of tho building already determined
Imposes on tho nave a, continuance
of tho system of squares as opposed
to tho later mediaeval typo of parallel
ograms, nil of which aro crpjul nnd
Identical.
"A riave of eight equal bays, each
approximately 25 feet by 60 feet, would
be Inadmissible, ns It would not ndapt
Itself to thu groat square of the cross
ing nor to tho small squares of the
choir. Tho plan, ns It now stand",
Is more or leys a return to the alter
nating system which, tlrst used In
such churches as' San Minlnto In Flor
ence, continues through the entire
Norman and Kom.mes.iue period, and
forms the basis of the great classical
work of the end of the twelfth and
tho beginning of th thirtei nth c. ntti
rlrs. "Wo have mad no effort to develop
a llnal scheme for the crossing, trail-
also have mado a large number of
rough sketches which nssurn us that
n very noblo front can bo designed for
the present nave. We should say fur
ther that our continued study hus con
vinced us that tho tentative west front
shown on tho pre-prellmlnnry sketches
Is not the type that should be followed,
but that the west towers should bo
moved further north nnd south so
that the front, In general mass, should
approximate much more nearly to
that of llonrges than that of Notru
Dame, I'arls,
"In grneral these changes are slight,
Tho principal one Is the pushing fur
ther to the north and south of the
containing walls of the aisles, thus
providing an ambulatory at the tloor
level In addition to the aisles them
selves and giving the nnvo something
of tho effect of tho live aisled nave of
tho great cathedrals of France.
"This change does not materially
Increase cither tho bulk or the cost of
tho nave. We bellevo thu change de
sirable, as It will give greater richness
In composition, more effective play of
light and shade, and a. certain 'open
lug out' that will bo valuable from an
architectural standpoint,
"The buttress treatment of the ex
terior has been completely restudlcd.
It' now exprescs more organically the
Interior construction with Its great
piers which tuke thu main thrusts of
the transverse and diagonal ribs of thu
vault. It has boon considerably slnt
p'.ilied, while the superabundant pin
nacles hao been reduced In number
and in fineness of details.
"Wo ale persuaded, that this but
tress system as It now stand Is prac
tically tho bet oi-tainnblo, though wu
are still ill-sat i.-flod With tho pinnacle
terminations, whiih must be lostudled

mlniaturo model of a section of
the nave of the Cathedral of St.
3:hn tho Dlvln-', as has already been
recorded In Tub Sun. To New Yorkers
os well ns to the country at large this
model Is of great Interest, for it gives
a better Idea than a drawing could
afford of what the completed structure
will be like.
It was not long ago that Bishop
Greer, nt a meeting of the CathedVal
League, said of tho structure: "It
will havo a very Important function
In tho social salvation of this Ameri
can republic and will be ono of tho
most Important factors to conserve
our national life and promote the se
curity of our American civilization."
Some of thoso who have seen the
model ndd that the Cathedral of St.
John tho Divine upon Mornlngslde
Heights will besides be a notable
achievement of Gothic architecture.
The model Is now to be seen In the
New York office of Cram & Ferguson
and the public generally are Invlud to
examine It; flint, that they may seo
the outcome of some years of studious
plannln-r, and, It sufficiently Informed
His one concern was to take the ma
sonry as he found It and to use It ns a
basis for n Gothic evolution; In brief,
to combine In the Cathedral of St,
John, the Divine the architectural cli
max of the past and the height of en
gliuering achievement of the present,
or, to express It otherwise, to use tho
language of a devotional past to sym
bi.ll.e. the aspirations of to-day. I low
he has succeeded tho professional pub
lic and those otherwise sutllclently In
formed can gather from tho model
now on exhibition here. To the initi
ated it bears a lesson In every line and
curve.
One can easily understand tho pur-pot-e
of Cram & Ferguson In having
made this miniature. No matter how
skilful n man may bo In reading
plans the unexpected lurks somewhere
behind fulfilment. A model, on the
otner lianil. brings out the relations ...,., towers and west front The nared. It is nrjba' !o a'.., that tho
between associate features, perhaps ( tllno has not como for decision on transverse arches of the exterior over
uinunisning tneir values in one pari .these points. Tho question of n oen- the a.slcs a: d penetrating tho but
and overaccentuatlng them in others. trni ,i0me. tower or spire, as against' tre&ses will utcd to bo scmewhat In-
Papcr model of the exterior of the nave.
Ing system nnd a more complete ex
pression structurally of the scxpartito
vault (which wo nro using) than any
other schemo devised during the Mid
dlo Ages.
"Finally It gives a rhythm, a pMay
of light and shade, an effect of ns
plration nnd a quality of spaciousness
that wo bellevo cannot bo obtained in
any other way. Tho largo piers havo
been slightly reduced from too dimen
sions Indicated In tho pre-prellmlnnry
sketches, while the Intermediate
columns havo been slightly Increased
In size."
As to mnterlala the report an
nounces that tli In matter cannot yet
bo determined In all of Its details.
However, tho architects say, "We be
lieve, generally speaking, that tho In
terior should continue the color effect
nlready In uso In tho choir, probably
with tho Introduction of yellow Mono
gan granlto for the Intermediate
columns. In tho exterior tho main
walls should undoubtedly be of Moho
gan granite, while tho cut work could
well be of the Klngwood stono used
with such remarkably successful re
sults In tho cxtenor of tho Potter
Chapel,"
Cram & Ferguson fully realize that
In the development of tho llnal plans
for the nave Improvements and minor
chnnges will Inevitably suggest them
selves. This Is also true of details of
ornamentation, carving, &c. Hy this
Is meant tracery', panelling, balus
trades, parapets, niches, capitals, pin
nacles, &c. Already tho pasteboard
model linn been of suggestive value In
these matters, for tho decorative de
tails must Anally harmonize with the
character and the atmosphere Imposed
by tho basic elements of the design.
Small as this miniature representa
tion of necessity Is still It suffices to
visualize and to suggest something of
tho mnjesty and tho magnitude of tho
cathedral nave In Its ultimate gran
deur. The slender pillars spring sky
wnrd with grace nnd belle the burden
of stone that will be held aloft by tho
six part vaults. Kven though the
supporting nrchos and ribs are com
posed of tons of stone, yet their thmst
or load Is so claverly distributed that
these towering pillars suffice to carry
the weight
For thoso fond of comparative fig
ures It will be of Interest to know thnt
the area of St. Paul's In London Is
39,000 square feet, while that of the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine will
cover OP.OOO square feet. This, by. the
way, will represent a ground plan
much moro extensive than even that
of St. Peter's at Home.
Hut thoso dimensions slone signify (
rule wnen one considers tho architec
tural task and the final climax tho fin
hed edifice will typify. It Is one'
thing literally to reproduce nn ancient
model, but quite another problem to
adopt the style of centuries gone and
adapt It to tho requirements of n living
age. Tho church of to-doy must be
lighted, heated nnd ventilated In a
manner undreamed of In the thir
teenth century, and tho communicants
expect comforts nnd convenience" re
mote from the rugged habits of life
of thoe who gave tho world the Clothlc
edifice at its best.
When the Cathedral of St. John the
j Dlvlno stands finished upon Its com
manding eminence on Mornlngslde
Helchts it will represent nn outlay of
many millions of dollars, every cent
of which will have been contributed
to make this devotional monument
debt free. Kach contributor has the
right to name ns far ns possible the
direction In which his or her offering
shall bo spent In tho fabric, and the
progress of this project will be pushed
ns the funds become available.

International Exposition has
decided to havo a special gold medal
cast "In honor," It Is said, "of tht great
Influence Frank Duveneck has exerted
In the development of American paint

tinction was conferred upon him nt
the suggestion of tho foreign Judges,
who sent In the following expression
of the appreciation they felt for the
talents of the American:
"We, tho representatives of foreign
countries acting upon the International

Fine Arts, do hereby ask your kind
consideration of the following recom

In a meeting specially called for this
purpose.
"Whereas the comprehensive retro
spective collection of Frank Duvue-ck's
works in oils, etching nnd sculpture
brought together In the Palace of Fine
Arts has astonished and delighted all
those hitherto unacquainted with his

of those few who have long held him
in the highest esteem, both ns nn

Jurors on the international Jury of

to American art should be awarded

writes:
"This step was decided upon to pro
