XXXlll 



PRIZES FOR GOOD DRAWINGS, 



With a view to stimulating among 

 boys and girls the study of wild 

 animals and birds and the develop- 

 ment of artistic taste, Recreation now 

 offers a series of prizes as follows : 



For the best sketch of a live wild 

 animal in action, $10. 



For the best sketch of a live wild 

 bird in flight or other action, $8. 



For the best sketch of a live domes- 

 tic animal in action, $6. 



For the best sketch of a live domes- 

 tic fowl in flight, or other action, $5. 



Studies may be made in black and 

 white wash, pen and ink, or pencil, 

 my preference being in the order stat- 

 ed. They must be from life and not 

 from other pictures. 



The sketches may be made on any 

 kind of paper or drawing board and 

 of any size desired, though I prefer 

 to have them on paper at least twice 

 as large as a Recreation page. 



All sketches which may be pub- 

 lished, and for which prizes may not 

 have been awarded, will be paid for 

 at the rate of $1 each. 



Contestants must write on back of 

 picture full name, address, and age. 



This competition is limited to per- 

 sons under 20 years of age, and a let- 

 ter from one of the parents or from 

 the legal guardian of each contestant 

 must accompany each drawing, certi- 

 fying that the age of the contestant is 

 as stated thereon. 



Competition will close December 31. 



Drawings, should be packed flat and 

 with a sufficient quantity of straw 

 board to keep them from being dam- 

 aged' in the mails ; and on account of 

 the required writing on the backs of 

 the drawings it will be necessary to 

 prepay them at letter postage rates. 



Address drawings and correspon- 

 dence relating thereto, Art Editor 

 Recreation, 23 West 24th Street, 

 New York City.
