sent mammoth exhibits which have been remarkable from the 
standpoint of display. This year more schools entered, but with 
smaller exhibits from each school. This makes a more interesting 
but less effective exhibit. The object of our work is to create a 
wide interest in the work. There were also a great many indi- 
vidual exhibits, a few boys and girls from schools all over the 
Borough bringing in their own products rather than massing them 
with school exhibits. 
A new class for entry this year was Class B, the Small-School 
Display, over against Class A, which represents the’ large-school 
exhibit, or the exhibit of many products from a given school. 
The nature of the prizes was somewhat changed. Heretofore 
silver cups have always been presented as second prizes, but this 
year nature books were given. The trophy in Class A, School 
Display, was won last year by P. S. 89 and became the permanent 
property of that school. This year the new trophy for Class A 
was also won by P. S. 89. In Class C, Window Box Display, the 
prize, which is a large gold bronze cup, was won both last year 
and this by P. S. 49. This prize must be won three times by one 
school before it belongs to the school. 
The judges of the exhibit this year were Mr. Robert J. Potter, 
Garden Supervisor of West Orange, New Jersey; Miss Nellie S. 
Truman, Director of Brooklyn Girl Scouts, and Mr. Montague 
Free, Horticulturist of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The dis- 
play was set up on Friday morning and judged Friday noon, when 
it was thrown open to the public.
