The match was about the same as the
one at Toledo, viz: 20 words to be writ
ten; so words to be spelled orally, and a
tally kept And the spell down.
The pronouncers came forward, and an
nounced the following list of words:
Seigneurial Impanel,
Tesselated, Silhouette,
Scsqupedalian, Rendezvous,
Heredity, Analysis.
Irascible, Multifarious,
Groggery, Rhadamanthean,
Rhodomontadc, Voyagcur,
Homicidal, ItalieiZe,
Eleemosyrary, Rcpellent,
Pomace, Port Monnaie.
This proved to be more formidable
list than the one given out at the match
in Toledo, judging from he score. There
were 1858 words missed, l4S on the Toledo
side and Lis by the Montouritcs. The
''boss word" of the contest was "Rhada-
manthean," it scoring 33,-17 by Toledo,
16 by Montour. The word misspelled the
least number of times was 'Impanel-
only twice. The word missed most by
Toledo was Port Monnaie, 10 times.
By Montour "Rhadamanthean." The
words missed least by Toledo were can
alysisr and 'Irasclble, once each. BY
Montour Analysis"-once.
The spoilers on each side missing the
most words were Miss VOORHEES,, Montour,
IA; Mrs. Coates, Toledo, 70. The spoilers
missing least were Rev. F. Hurd, Mon
tour, none; h. B. Hedge, Toledo, .. We

lers refused to spell. A discussion then
took place on the subject of emitting
such words, which waxed very warm but
finally cooled down and the best of feel
ing prevailed, There appeared to be
misunderstanding between the two sides
in regard to the choice of Words. In all
matches heretofore, especially in Toledo
proper and geographical names, technical
terms and foreign words had been ex
cluded. In consequence of this practice
the Toledo spoilers had not practiced any
such words and it was supposed that
| they would not be given out; but it ap
peared that the spoilers from Montonl
had been practicing on these words and
| as the rules adopted said nothing about
where the words were to be selected
they, or some of them, insisted on pro-
nouncing them. The discussion lasted
nearly or quite an hour, and finally by
vote it was decided to exclude the foreign
words and the spelling went on. About
one o'clock in the morning it was moved
and carried to adjourn, thus leaving the
