Utile did 1 dream the task I had myself when I asked yon to solve hidden players' nnrues in puzzleHundreds ;md hundreds of
cards came to hand. I had to enlist the services of a young lady in checking them, and the wo''lc took two whole days to complete. With sa few prises and so many replies you may wonder how we judged them. Well, we lirst examined every card and" threw out those which failed to give all the names correctly. Fortunately, for me. hundred of competitors had one or more names wrong. Next we sorted
those that were all right into hoys and uirls. and again put them in piles according to age. Then 1 had the delicate and difficult task
of deciding which were the neatest. The prizes will go to: G. Nash, i'.'. Somerset Place, Cathay. Redcliffe; <!. Gundlay, is.

Edmund Wadge, one of my young prize-winners in a previous competition, i a lucky hoy. He gave as his favourite cinema "The Blue Halls. Hammersmith." and in applying for the seatwhich 1 offered as a prize 1 sent to the theatre a copy of his criticism, which. no doubt, yon have read The seats came to hand with another prize of the value k>\' one guinea from the theatre management. In a letter to Master W 1.I-0 the management wrote:
