BY THE OLD CANAL 

 First Prize ($25) September Competition. Taken by Mr. Herbert P. Dahlen, Indianapolis, Ind. 



OUR PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION. 



In the July issue we announced a competi- 

 tion to close September 1. In order to stimu- 

 late our photographers we raised the prizes to 

 $25, $10 and $5, instead of $10 and $5 as in 

 the spring competition. The result was grati- 

 fying ; almost 700 photographs were sub- 

 mitted, and we congratulate ourselves upon 

 the unusual excellence of many of them. 



Unfortunately some good photographs had 

 to be thrown out through their producers 

 having failed to observe the rules of the game 

 ps set forth in our July issue. If some of 

 those that have failed will re-read these con- 

 ditions they will perhaps perceive why their 

 names do not show in the list of winners. 



Our art editor has awarded the prizes as 

 follows : 



First Prize — $25 — By the Old Canal — To 

 Mr. Herbert P. Dahlen, Indianapolis, Tnd. 



Second Prize — $10 — Ready for Home — To 

 Mr. R. J. Warren, Phcenix, B. C. 



Third Prize— $5—^ Ruffed Grouse's Nest 

 —To Mr. James Miller, Loneville, N. Y. 



Mr. Dahlen sent in the following particu- 

 lars with his entry : 



Enclosed herewith find picture entitled 

 "Fishing by the Old Canal." This pic-
