" The result of the examination of the drawings

motion, and the relation of the figure to the back-
ground, have been found more difficult than com-
petitors expected, and that previous art-training has
not aided them much. Out of some fifty drawings
by competitors unknown to me, it is difficult to find
one that fulfils the, apparently, simple conditions.
" The first prize is awarded to Delineator (R. A.
Miller, 62 Burrand Road, West Hampstead, N.W.)
for the highly decorative and spirited treatment of
the subject; the drawing takes first place, also, for
good treatment of line for reproduction. There is
too much black in the composition, following the
fashion of to-day. The first prize would have been
awarded to 7m, if the drawing of the figure had
been rather better and the lines more suitable for
reproduction. It is a pretty drawing, good in

and of these we place Olive Wreath as first, being
the one which would be the most effective on a
ceiling, combined with good drawing and yielding
a large pattern. Plaistow (the tree-form) we place
second. We should wish also to highly com-
mend Ingersoll (H. Tyrell Wright, 157 Blythe
Road, W.) and Sten (Francis Horsman, 49 Coburg
Street, Leeds). The designs, Canute (G. R. Ques-
ted, 11 Abbey Gardens, N.W.) and Radigunde
(ditto), are well planned and drawn, but they would
not repeat in the necessary 21 in., and the clasped
hands in the figures introduced into Radigunde do
not come within the limits of the rest of the design.
