Whew! NInety-aii In the shade and
the biggest vote since August 11 had
to be counted,
for a
latter lacks but 82 • votes of having
19,000 to her credit. From now on the
race between these three young ladles
is going to be decidedly interesting,
which if them
come
around and help the Contest Editor
count up tomorrow’s votes. If there
are as many polled as today, things
will be soft around this shack, par-
ticularly the linen of the counters.
Thirteen thousand and a few over
dropped through the slot in the ballot
bon between noon yesterday and noon
today, and one fellow had the nerve
to say “I have several more, but don’t
think I’ll vote ’em today." The Con-
test Editor felt like hugging that man,
and he'd “a done It.” too, if the man
had been good looking enough and had
long hair.
Miss IfcCIanahan took "a long
Jump” today and passed Mist Malone
for first place by the narrow margin
of 70 votes. Small majority, but the
Individual who gets that many the lead
on the huft count at midnight, Septem-
ber 3, will certainly win a trip to the
World’* Fair.
Miss Malone and Miss Baxter were
remembered by their friends also, and
the former has over 23,000, while the
and “no man knoweth
will eventually win.
In the gentlemen’s class each par-
ticipant received a goodly number of
votes except Mr. Lee, whose friends
seem to be holding back their ballots
for a final big plunge nearer the end
of the contest.
The boys in Class C all made good
showings today, and Joe Malone now
leads Lynn McCarroll by but 4000
votes for first place. Hustling will be
lively between these three from now
on, with the odds slightly in Joe’s fa-
vor, although 8am's friends say he la
holding back a big bunch of subscrip-
tions to torn In later. That’s a game
all three can play at, however, and
the other two boys may be doing the
same thing for all the Contest Editor
knows to the contrary.
London, August 25.—While iue Brit-
ish authorities desire to commue a
conciliatory policy, they have informed
the Russian government at Smolensky
that Interference with British shipping
must stop, and object strongly to the
examination of merchantmen so far
from the scene of hostilities by any
Russian cruiser. This objection, it is
said, applies to the British steamer
Asia equally with the Comedian.
