prize was withheld. The President thought that
the landscapes in the Creswick competition, subject
Z/z an Orchard, were among the best ever shown at
the schools, and the first prize of ^25 and medal
gained by Miss Evelyn Muriel Young was sup-
plemented by a special award of ^5 given to
Miss Una Hook for the second best landscape.
Mr. James Williams gained the first prize for the
best design for the decoration of a portion of a
public building. The work in this competition was,
generally speaking, well above the average, which
is more than can be said of the designs for the best
composition of colour. The first Armitage prize
for a design in monochrome, and the first prize for
drawing from the life, fell to Mr. H. E. Quick, who
also gamed a Landseer Scholarship in painting.
In the sculptor’s competition for modelling Mr.
A. H. Wilkinson was the winner and the travelling
studentship in architecture was taken by Mr. Oliver
F. Savage. _
The annual trial of strength between the London
students’ sketching clubs, known as the Gilbert-
Garret competition, was held
in November at South Ken-
sington, where the sketches
and models were displayed
in the iron buildings behind
the Natural History
Museum. The clubs repre-
sented were fewer in number
than those that competed
in the preceding year. The
judges, Mr. Seymour Lucas,
R.A., Sir George Frampton,
R.A., and Mr. Arnesby
Brown, A.R.A., gave the
award of honour for the best
set of sketches to the Royal
College of Art. The College,
which has gained the award
of honour for several years
in succession, also carried
off four prizes. Mr. A. M.
Boss won the first prize for
figure {The Dance} for the
Birkbeck College School of
Art, the head-master of
which, Mr. A W. Mason,
was one of the origi-
nators of the competition
now called the Gilbert-
BY TAKAHASHI KOKO
Garret. Other prizes were
awarded to students of the
Royal Academy, the Polytechnic (Regent Street),
the City and Guilds Institute, the Grosvenor Life
School, and the Lambeth School of Art.
The winter exhibition of students’ work at the
St. John’s Wood Art Schools showed that the high
standard of previous years was fully maintained
and in some respects surpassed. The silver medal,
for the best paintings of a nude figure and a head,
was awarded to Miss D. Litchfield, who also
carried off the scholarship for the best drawings
from the life. The judges in the figure competi-
tions were Mr. J. W.Waterhouse, R.A., Mr. S. J.
Solomon, R.A., and Mr. William Hatherell, R.I.;
and for landscape, Mr. Arnesby Brown, A.R.A.
The prize given by the proprietors of “The
Graphic” was awarded to Miss F. M. Asher; and
the Frederick Walker prize (given by Mr. J. J.
Walker, a relative of the famous painter) to Miss
D. Mostyn. The Montague prizes, given by Lord
Swaythling, fell to Miss D. Fairclough, Miss B.
Hirschfield, Miss K. Cuff, and Mr. A. K. Hill.
