The Paris prize for students in architecture of the Alumni Society of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, of Paris, was awarded yesterday to John Wynkoop. There were five drawings in the competition on exhibition at the rooms of the Art Students' League, in West 57th-st.
    The Alumni Society in this country is the only one allowed to enter one student yearly without a competitive examination when he reaches Paris. Last year the society furnished the money to keep the student there for two and one-half years and then asked several men to furnish the money for succeeding years. Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan and A. Juilliard responded to the appeal, and this year Mr. Wynkoop gets the prize donated by Mr. Carnegie. Charles S. Cobb stood second.
