The prize was a silver challenge cup for verse reading and speaking: in foreign languages, and was award- ed to Miss Rosalind da Bunsen, daughter of the late Sir Maurice de Bunsen. Most of the com- petitors chose French, and it was two at these-Mrs. Nicola Speed and Miss Collette Cregan-who were second and third.
