thirteen States, desiring to obtain an emblem ex-
pressive of the importance of this event, invites
artists to submit designs to this end, either in relief
or in color, for the consideration of a jury empow-
ered to make choice, from all the designs offered,
of that one seeming most artistic, appropriate, and
effective for the purpose.

For the best design submitted, a jury to be com-
posed of seven members—two painters, two sculp-
tors, two architects, and a historian —will award a
prize of $2000 (two thousand dollars), and the
