(C VIII.)

The designs for finger-plates in gesso reach as
high a level of excellence as those sent in for any
competition. As Mr. Matthew Webb has referred
to many of the eleven illustrated in connection
with his paper in this number, it will be needless
here to note them in detail.

The First Prize {One guinea) falls to Boss
(Miss M. Fernie, Wyckwood, Scarborough), for its
excellence in colour.

The Second Prize {Half a guinea) is awarded
to Josser (j. Littlejohns, Orchard Hill, near Bide-
ford), for its special fitness to the material.

Honourable mention is given to all those illus-
trated, and to—Blue Gum (H. S. East, no
Harbut Road, N.W.); Columbine (Howard
Stringer, Walsall); Dragon (Miss A. Harrison,
Braintree); Katawampus (Miss E. L. Reader,

severance (Charles Whittet, Perth); Pinus (R. J.
