Competitors present were doubt- less interested to hear the method

adopted by the thres judges when adjudicating. Each judge acted Independently, carefully studying the entries section by section, and making his own selection. When the independent selections had been made. the other pictures were re- moved, and noles were then com- pared, when the unanimity of the Judges was, in the mujority of

Commdr. Brigham dealt with ene of the first-prize entries in euch section, illustrating the main features, and indicating why they had been given their respec petiters not to send in a number tive awards. He also advised com- of the same study, with slight variations in different sections, Inst rather to
