It has leaked out tho hop firm of Lachmund & Pincua bought a tract of land in' Highland addition for the mono right of way across which they havo received $2000. Tho right of way across Highland from tho terminus of High street to tho south end. of tho now tfestlo across Lab'ish slough has ncnTly all been secured, tho line taking a straight cut from tho end of Broad way to tho trestle. There is somo talk of making tho company give a larger bond to build, as tho present bond is only for $15,000, and bindb the com pany inside of two years to have 15 miles done. In the) meantime tho whole franchiso could bo transferred' to tho Harrfman system, which would lmve a fine lino through "tho heart of the city. If High street la to bo given up to tho electric it should bo safeguarded so as not to bo sold to a steam lino, nnd should) bo built through within a year at least. Art Exhibition and Reception. Mrs. Fred A.

Tho studio Itself is as "thing of beauty and a joy forever," with hs quaint furnishings. Yesterday spec imen's of thto different pupils were hung on tho walls. They covered tho range from tho work of tho beginners up to t"bo morci finished pupils, and were dono In chalk, crayon and pastel, whilo ap few oils were in evidence. The work all showed mtwked talent and was mosU Interesting. .uikj miim serveu. punon ro tnu callers during "tho time. New York, Juno 19. New Yorker's nro being treated to a stupendous race in building construction. Five new structures, all within a stone's throw of each othe, are to bo finished within tho course of tho next year, and there is great rivalry among the builders. The" new buildings range from 18 to 24 stories. The United States Express' building, a' twenty-thrce-story structuro in Rec tor street, has a good start and will probably reach tho finish lino ahead of the others. Its steel frame is up, six teen of the hollow tile floors havo been laiu, nnd work begun on tho partitions. Tho Westfield building at tho corner of Cedar and West streets is a close sec ond. Six stories of tho steel framo are already up. This will havo more office floors than any other building in tho city. It is eaid to be twenty-four stor ies high, twenty-three of which will be given over to offices. Excavating is .rapidly going forward on the site of tho Trinity and tho Bo red buildings, at the corner of Cedar street and Broadway. Each of these structures will bo twenty-one stories high and when finished will afford a, gigantic example of Gothic. Although covering a much larger .area thoy are to bo ready about tho same time as the Westfield building, May 1, 1907. Tho race between these big skyscrapers has already begun to attract attention. Just across BroniTway, on tho corner of Wall street, wo.?k has commenced on what will bo the most unique if not the largest skyscraper in New Yorle an eighteen-story structuro on a base only 30x39 feet, every square foot of which cost $000. January 1 is tho dato set for completion. These buildings, representing tho latest advance in skyscraper construc tion, are all to bo of practically the samo type stcel-framo and hollow tile. As a group they embody what amounts io a testimonial from tho leading archi tects and the largest investors, that this is the most lasting and safest form of building construction. Another fac tor is tho speed with which these gTcat structu'ies can bo put up. Rapidity is essential, owing to the largo amount of capital tied up during tho time of construction. Every month's delay deprives tho investor of a largo sum in rcntnls or interest. Moreover, tho constantly growing pres sure of business calls urgently for addi tional offlco space. Tlio co'nsf'ucU6n of 'heso buildings goes on almost like clock-work. No sooner are tho foundations laid than tho steel skeletons are bogun, and right behind tho steel workers copie tho ma sons creeping swiftly up, floor after floor, placing tho tile that forms the floors and protects tho steel frame. At tho same time a swarm of masons aro at work on all parts of tho building, so that when tho last beam is swhng into place, and tho Inst rivet driven home, tho tiles are immediately sot, and tho structural work is complete.
