-NEWDIGATE PRIZE WINNERS
London, May 25, The Newdigate Prize, which has just been awarded for this year, has never been won by a great poet. The nearest to a great poet was Matthew Arnold, who won it in 1843 with a poem on Cromwell
Most of the other winners are now quite forgotten. Many of them were clergymen; & few' achieved eminence ac men of
letters. For instance, Ruskin was awarded the prize in 1839, Edwin Arnold ́in 1852, Oscar Wilde in 1878, and, surprisingly, Julian Huxley in 1908.
The first prize-winner, in 1906. was John Wilson, afterwards to become known as Christopher North. If not a poet himself he at least helped to damn one. "His articles in "Blackwood's Maga aine on the 'Cockney school of poeta savagely attacked especially Keats, and, in Shelley's opinion, hastened his death,
