96. The Mill Stream \u2013 Towing the Prize. Le Blond, No. 80.
\nIn a pool, below the old mill wheel, is a boy towing two toy boats, one of which is the prize. The capture seems to give great satisfaction to the other boys on the bank, who are cheering lustily; but the dog, by his barking, seems to indicate he does not at present understand it all. Mother, resting on the step, nursing her youngest, is a proud and interested spectator of the stirring deeds.<\/p>\n

Size, width 6 \u00be inches. Length 5 \u00bc inches. R. \u00a32 10s.
