 and presented by Col. J. E. Butler on behalf of the 4th Glo'ster 

 Regiment ; and the Bronze Medal won by Sergt. H. Lane at 

 the same competition, presented by Alderman J. Fuller 

 Eberle. 



Sir Charles D. Cave, Bart., has generously presented to 

 the Museum the silver-mounted Cocoa-Nut Cup, known as the 

 " Colston Cup," which has been on loan for some years. The 

 cup is probably of early 18th or late 17th century workman- 

 ship, and is beautifully carved. 



Mr. Edwin Coathupe has presented two small guns on 

 carriages, made by Wm. Metford, of Lee-Metford rifle fame. 



Mr. Matthew Hale has presented the Braikenridge

 the steel lever used by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales (King 

 George V.) in starting the Steam Navvy which cut the first 

 sod of the Royal Edward Dock, Avonmouth, 5th March, 1902. 



Amongst the many treasures acquired in the Braiken- 

 ridge Bequest were found several carefully coloured drawings 

 of banners of the Old City Guilds. Six of these have been 

 reproduced on silk, and were first used at the Council House 

 on the occasion of the granting of the Freedom of the City 

 to Sir Robert Borden, K.C., LL.D., on August gth. 



Architectural remains, old wooden water and drain pipes, 

 examples of old ironwork, and other objects have been 

 secured during the year, the most notable being material 

 from the Grey Friars in Lewin's Mead.
