Tho prizes ore two in number, five guineas, lor first, and two guineas for second. In awarding the prizes, the advertising value of the posters and tho display of the wording will be considered as'of equal importance to drawing ani design, and it is quite possible, therefore, that a competitor, though somewhat lacking in draughtsmanship and finished work, artistically, mav, by happening to strike on a particularly happy idea or pithy phrase, cany off the award. Detailed conditions may be had on application at tha principal fine art depots, at Messrs. J. H. Bethume and Co.'s office ( oi' from Mr. Ci. M, Silver, the organising secretary for the pageant.
