liniang, as the stones in its handles
represent every variety found in this

The cup, which is of Is karat gold,
stands ten inches high, and is more
than foot in circumference. Its sur

tains the same proportions from base
to top. The metal is half an inch
thick Protrudng from the edge are
three tapering handles, which curving
outward and inward, touch the cup
at it's base. On the end of each handle
which again turns outward, is cut
Patterson coat of arms.
The body of the cup is without or

and a wreath in which is "1S32-l9O4,'
the date of Col. Patterson's birth and
death.
The exposed portions of the cups
handles are studded with precious

will become the permanent possession
of the writer winning it the greater
number of times.
If,there should be tie the time will
