the majority of the spectators were o f
opinion that the Knight ofthe look
and Ladder was fully entitled to the
honor that was awarded him. In tn,
next place a NJ b says that in taking
the ride over on account Of .hc twisted
track he took three rings. | say he
only rode for the one and took it, Th,
judges then announced n tie between
the two Knights viz Hook and
Ladder and the West. The next ride
decided the question, the Knight of the
Hook and Ladder taking all three rings
and the knight of the West, think
teok only one. Mr.. Editor | cannot
think it possible that such honorable
straight forward gentlemen, ms tho
Judges seemed to be, would be so much
biased as togive an u Just decision in
any matter, especially such an impor
1ant one as that was. MIR. Editor.
allow me III conclusion to give NV on;n
Ion why \ NJ Is attempts to try to
'n'stily the pablo and take the honor
from one Knight and bcstow it UPON
another, and that is this His Cor her)
preference was So biased in favor of
that soc'able, pleasant, loving little
village, that he Cor she) could not bslr
Tor Knight Of Orangcburg County to
nave the honor ofbearing off the first
prize.
