arts, and no Fund, or Foundation, or University, or American Academy in Rome, or other institution offers scholarships, or foreign travel, or anything else, to young poets. As yet Poetry's prizes—and two of fifty dollars offered for "the best lyrics" by our local contemporary, The Trimmed Lamp—are the only ones in sight. May they "breed competitors!"
