My apologies for being a little later to post this than I'd have
liked. My son is very briefly in town on a visit from Germany,
and dinner out took a little longer than expected.

The dealer for Round 1902 is Tim Lodge, whose enclosure for
cattle (#7) earned him 6 natural points. The runner-up and real
winner is Dick Weltz, whose flat roof (#3) earned 5 points, again
all natural.

Two of you guessed that the real definition is #13, the deep
glen, ravine, or gorge.

It's all yours, Tim!
