TWARD OF HONOUR

Lambeth clubs were also strongly repre-
sented in the competition, but in the matter
of awards both were unfortunate. Two of
the Lambeth exhibits were very highly
commended, a capital poster design with
classical hgures in tones of grey, blue and
white, and a figure drawing of men singing
in the street. A third prize for landscape
was gained for the Grosvenor by Miss
Dorothy Weston, and severalother drawings
and paintings by members of the same
ciub were commended by the judges. Mr.
Mills, of the London County Council
School in Bolt Court, won the special prize
that is offered annualiy for the best design
for the Award of Honour certifrcate, given
to the strongest club in the competition.

In the unavoidable absence of Mr.
Walter Crane the prizes were distributed
by Mr. E. Cooke on the evening of the
second day of the exhibition. Mr. Cooke,

secretary, Mr. F, Grey and by Mr. G. M.

PRIZE DEStGN BY JOHN MILLS
(L.C.C. SCHOOL, BOLT COURT)
The model by Mr. H. Oakley of two figures
struggling on the ground, that gained the
first prize, was a sketch in a literal sense,
but full of life and action. The second
and third prizes for Kennington were won
by Mr. Cameron and Mr. W. R. Dick.
A large and representative collection of
sketches was shown by the Heatherley
School, which has for many years taken a
prominent part in these competitions. Mr.
S. W. Stanley took the first prize for the
poster design with an effective drawing of a
group of figures at night looking down 011
the brightly lighted " White City," and Mr.
J. B. Baldwin the second, with a design that
was capital in its arrangement and colour,
but not sufhciently indicative of the subject.
The Heatherley School gained, too, the third
figure prize for a clever pen-and-ink drawing
by Miss E. M. Tattersall of a terror-stricken
rustic, creeping home along a lane by moon-
light, with elves and fairies playing in the
trees and hedges. The Grosvenor and
