Upwards of SO entries in the competition wer e re ceived from Mt. Kisco (.where the plan met with grea t success last Sum-'' *aier) and at Bedford Station 30 child ren have decided to compete. The official offer is as follows Point s upon which prizes will be awarded 1.—Neatness of the entire premises. 2.—Care of walks and gutters. 3.—Carte of grass, flowers, shrub bery and trees. -*» 4.—Improvements; Sowing of grass seed, planting of flowers, etc. 5.—Percentage of improvement not ed.
