Competition No. XXII. 



Any approved Article of British manufacture either wholly or 

 mainly made of Wood grown in the United Kingdom. 



Alex. Lowe, Forester, Lockerbie House. No. 2 Silver Medal 

 for a Rustic arch with gate. 



Alex. Pollock, Royal Rustic Builder, Tarbolton. No. 3 

 Silver Medal for two larch and oak plant-tubs and an oak 

 seat, made of wood grown on the banks of Ayr, 



In addition to the foregoing awards the Judges recommended 

 that a No. i Silver Medal should be awarded to Mr John G. 

 Singer, Forester, Culzean, for the general collection of exhibits 

 brought by him to the Exhibition. 



The Judges' awards were unanimously agreed to. 



The Marquis of Graham asked if it would be competent to 

 exhibit, in successive years, boards which had already taken a 

 prize. It was pointed out that there was no rule against this, 

 and that it would be quite competent to exhibit the boards until 

 they were beaten by better ones. 



Judges' Awards in the Nursery and Plantation 

 Competition. 1 



(^Restricted to the Paisley Shoiv District.) 



Dr Borthwick, in giving in the Report of this Competition, 

 on behalf of Mr G. U. Macdonald and himself, mentioned that 

 six Estates had taken part in the Competition, and that three 

 Nurseries and nine Plantations, making twelve subjects in all, 

 had been entered. He reported that, with the approval of the 

 Council, the Judges had agreed to recommend that in the case 

 of the Glenstriven plantations which would each receive a No. i 

 Silver Medal, a Gold Medal should be offered ; in the case of the 

 Bute plantations, a Gold Medal should also be offered in place 

 of the No. I Silver Medal and the Bronze Medal which would 

 otherwise be given ; and that in the case of the Brodick planta- 

 tions a No. I Silver Medal should be offered in place of two 

 Bronze Medals. 



The meeting approved of these recommendations.
