40 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO BULLETIN. \XIX. 1. 



THE COMPETITORS. 



Thomas Pryce of Couva must be consilered champion of the whole 

 competition and deserves his success. Although a complete stranger to 

 erudition, he has obtained full marks in tillage and cultivation. 



Samuel Gilkes, a neighbour and close friend of Pryce, would have 

 certainly given him a harder tussle had not illness handicapped him 

 for some time. 



Cyril Griffith who has tied with Gilkes for second place is of California 

 and a mere lad. 



A. B. Gobin of Chaguanas the winner of fourth place in District B 

 has beaten the best m^m in District A by a mark. 



Nabbie of Cane Farm, Tacaiigna, has secured a comparatively easy 

 victory in District A. Still his 93 marks are a creditable performance 

 and he is to be congratulated, 



Eleazer Tappin of El Socoro, San Juan has secured just one mark 

 less than the first prize-winner. Birring a weakness in manuring, 

 which cost him 5 marks, the work of this competitor was superior to 

 that of his more successful rival in every respect. 



Moorid of Cane Farm, Tacarigua, and Francis Carter of St. Augustine 

 who tied for tliird place in District A have also done very good work. 



Among those who have failed ti make prize places the following are 

 deserving of mention, and we may add sympathy to Medford in 

 particular: — 



Arthur Medford (90 marks) of Exchange, Couva who is a farmer 

 of a high order. William Sutton of California and J. C. Foster of 

 Macoya° Tunapuna, both of whom did very fine work as their marks 

 (88 and 86 respectively) show.
