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. 



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. 



Competition will close February 28, 

 1905. 



Address drawings and correspond- 

 ence relating thereto, Art Editor, 

 Recreation, 23 West 24th Street, 

 New York City.
