There are a few names left out of
the above, we having failed TO note
their words.
Mr.. Hayes being thus left victor,
it was decided that a ''spell off,
should take place between Mr.. H.
and Miss Perry, to see which should
be decided the victor of the three
matches, Miss Perry having won
the first, the second having been a
draw, and Col. Hayes winning the
third. The spelling did net last
long, however, as the enunciator did
not spare them, but showered the
"big words" upon them without
mercy, and resulted in a victory for
Miss Perry, the Colonel misspelling
the word "xerophthalmy''-speIling
the first syllable "xy"-and Miss
Perry spelling it corr ectly.
The receipts from the three
matches amounted to $3.50. The
committee appointed at the first
meeting to attend to the expend ne
of the funds and the selection of
prizes, and which is composed of
Messrs. James Edwards, Dr.. Latfitte
and A. G. Brown, have decided to
expend $500 for prizes, to be Civ

Franc. Greeley and Miss Belle Cal

prizes to be worth So each, the Sc
lection TO be made by themselves.
The committee are also of the opin-
ion that Col Hayes is deserving of
a prize, but taking into considera-
ton that he is man, and that he
has already received reward enough,
iii that he has earned the reputation
of being the best speler in town,
they consider it unnecessary to do
SO.
Before the meeting adjourned, on
Monday evening, on motion the
chair appointed G. S. Douglas,
Judge |. W., Gates, Capt. James
Edwards, Miss Franc. Greeley, Miss
Belle Calverly and Mrs. w. Ashton !
committee to confer with the Du- 1
luth committee in regard to arrange
ments for the contemplated inter-
state spelling match.
