The recent Gilbert - Garret competi-
tion brought forth a great number of
sketches and studies from London art
students, more, probably, than in any
previous year, and, taken altogether, the
exhibition at South Kensington showed
a distinct advance. In certain direc-
tions, however, the Gilbert-Garret com-
petition should be capable of further
development. There is nothing in it
at present directly to encourage applied
art, and nothing for the designer except
the Poster and Award of Honour Certi-
ficate competitions ; and this means
the shutting out of many students whose
talents lie in other directions than those
of figure composition and landscape
painting. The judges in the recent
competition were Mr. David Murray,
R.A., Mr. F. Cadogan Cowper, A.R.A.,
Mr. Bertram Mackennal, A.RA., and
Mr. John Hassall, R.I. They gave to
the South Kensington (Royal College
of Art) the Award of Honour for the
best collection of sketches. For figure
composition (subject " Labour") the
first prize was taken by Mr. A. Cooper,
of South Kensington, with the clever "labour" (first prize, gilbert-garret competition)
