many bright contributions. and

between them.
In seme Instances, notably rs
between SNOW and EVERETT,
we were utterly unable to agree
as to which deserved first prize
for the artists. So we cOfnprO-
missed, as you see. There is no
doubt that these two fine artists
stand out, although there are
evidences that your younger and
less experienced artists will give
Snow and Everett keen contests
for the next prizes to be awarded.
As between your hundreds Of
prose and verse contributors, our
trihulatiOns were just rs great.
PAUL WHITE, we felt, should
head the list, but we wish that
we could have had prizes to
