Class B. Pictorial Art.

B xxiii. Water-colour Study of Flowers from
the Life.

As on a previous occasion when a water-colour subject
was given, this competition has resulted in an interesting
series of drawings being submitted. While some of them
betray conspicuously the influence of the great masters of
flower-painting, both in composition and treatment, others
are not lacking in originality, and several among them reach
a higher standard of excellence than we expected to see.
The judges have indeed felt some difficulty in deciding
between a group of drawings of nearly equal merit. After
careful consideration, they award the First Prize ('J wo
Guineas) to Astra (Annie Eastwood, Beech House, Mellor,
near Blackburn); the Second Prize (One Guinea) to Fylfot
(Hilda M. Rooth, The Cliffe, Dronfield, near Sheffield);
and Hon. Mention to the following, the first two being,
in their opinion, worthy of special mention : Bell (B. A.
Pughe) ; Alastor (R. S. Angel!) ; Brer Rabbit (Miss M.
Biron); Ganthorpe (Mrs. Fraser); Devoniensis (Fanny E.
Gitsham); Mumpsa (Margaret E. Wilson); Ponkey (A. W.
Moore); Rica (Miss E. M. Smith) ; Sandie (Alex. Martin);
Teddie (Miss A. M. Williams).

Hon. Mention : Zermatler (W. R. Kay); St. Mungo
(D. Dunlop); Solce (R. Pressdorl); Udaipur (H. F. P.
Battersby).
