THE SPECTATOR

Game of Consequences

Next week sees the launch of another devilishly difficult Spec- tator competition. You will need all your wits to solve the literary, his- torical and geographical ques- tions. The form of the competition will follow that of a game of con- sequences, and it will run for nine weeks.

The rewards are of course quite exceptional.

First prize is a hand-coloured aquatint of an Indian scene by Thomas and William Daniell plus a Swan Hellenic Art Treasure Tour for two to one of the following destinations: Santiago de Compostela (a 16 day tour) including Toulouse, Pau, Pamplona, Burgos, Leon and Oviedo.

Hungary (a 15 day tour) including Budapest, Eger and the Bukk Mountains.

Central Asia and Transcaucasia (an 18 day tour) including Moscow, Bokhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, and Shakhrisabz.
