This is an upright grand, and is described by Professor Cardston as one of the most beautiful toned instruments it has been liia good fortune to see in his many travels.

A bedroom suite consisting of duch*ess chest, wardrobe, washstand, and bed constitutes the second prize. This set i;; really beautiful, and fit to grace the palaco of a king.

A largo oil <r>ainting of Pelorus Sound from tho brush of Mr. Kirkwood will be the next prize, arid is certainly one of tho best productions of this talented artist. Altogether there will be no less than fourteen additional prizes given, any ono of which will bo a delight to the. winner.
