1. A popular flower. 1. Carnation.
2. Unruliness. 2. Insubordination.
3. A gift for charitable purposes. 3. Donation.
4. The installation of a king. 4. Coronation.
5. Resolution, or "grit." 5. Determination.
6. The murder of an eminent person. 6. Assassination.
7. Fancy, or mental representations. 7. Imagination.
8. Making anything clear. 8. Explanation.
9. A small surgical operation legally enforced. 9. Vaccination.
10. The giving up of an office. 10. Resignation.
11. A joining or putting together. 11. Combination.

The prizes should then be awarded. A pretty silk banner will be acceptable to a man, while a big bunch of red and white carnations tied with a blue ribbon, or a pound of confectionery in a box decorated with flags and other patriotic emblems will make a pretty gift for a lady.
