A wards in " The Studio " Prize Competitions
Rodeur (Charles Pears, Pontefract), a travesty of
Aubrey Beardsley.
" Of the others, there are a great number of care-
fully drawn examples in the average commercial
type, and some which are lacking in simple
common sense."
In addition to the above list, honourable mention
is also awarded to Britomart (Mrs. S. Wynfield
Rhodes, Prestwich); Cherry-fiye (Robert Key, 70
Oakley Road, W.); Darkie (Chas. Richardson,
Petersfield); Industria (C. W. Baker, 85 Grosvenor
HON. MENTION " 129 "
Road, S.W.); -Ranunculus (G. R. Rigby, Leeds);
Runaway (Miss A. Macbeth, St. Anne's-on-the-
Sea); Tempera (C. G. Lowther, Hull).
A " Pictorial Ex Libris." (B VIII.)
This competition for a book-plate provoked
over one hundred and fifty attempts. To say that
the feeblest was up to the level of many already
in use, would be not very flattering although true;
for some, even of well-known modern plates, are
lamentably poor. Of those best suited for repro-
duction we illustrate a score, in addition to the
two prize designs. At least fifty of the others are
fairly up to the level of these reproduced, and it
is with great regret that we find space prevents a
larger number being illustrated.

The judging has been no easy matter, and the
consensus of opinion arrived at by several artists
and experts may not appear justified by the minia-
tures reproduced. The originals were carefully
examined without any clue to their authorship, and
the selection for illustration chosen to represent
as many types as possible, and not limited entirely
to the best of those sent in.
As a recognition of the merits of those repro-
duced, we intend to present each competitor with a.
block of his design.
