A short discussion ensued prior to the adjudication of the prizes, 

 after which the following resolution was adopted : — 



" That the names accompanying the mottos of the essays selected 

 as the best, be forwarded to the Government as the names of the 

 gentlemen entitled to the premiums and medals for the Prize Essays 

 of 1 SCO; and that the Government be recommended to print the 

 Prize Essays for immediate distribution, at a price merely sufficient 

 to cover the necessary expense. Further — that the judges desire to 

 call the attention of the Government to the fact that the prize com- 

 petitors have not in all cases fully satisfied the expectations enter- 

 tained as to excellence, but that the judges have been induced to 

 exhibit, on this, the first occasion of awarding such prizes, a dispo- 

 sition to encourage the efforts of those (twenty- five in number) who 

 have devoted so much time and labor in responding to the invitation 

 of the Government.
