"Fourth Largest"

For the first time in 700 years England will dedicate a new Cathedral, July 19th, at Liverpool. It will be the fourth* largest in the world, 130 feet longer than the Cathedral of Seville, costing more than $10,000,000 which is to be raised by public subscription. The foundation stone was laid by King Edward in July, 1904. The design, chosen from competition, was the work of a youth, done in his spare time. Gilbert Scott, the designer, grandson of the famed architect Sir Gilbert Scott, was a pupil in an architect's office when the competition was announced; he made his drawings after finishing his office work. Salisbury, "Queen of English Cathedrals," was the last to be dedicated.

* First is St. Peter's, Rome; second is the Cathedral of Seville, Spain; third will be the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Manhattan.
