Of less magnitude. There was only inc bltl
lower than schweinfurtf'h anu th!S wns one rent
less per 100 pounds. Thu bid was put Ii, by I
very rcspunstb!o gentleman, but it was thgUwn
out tn the Boarl ostenhlbly IN account OF In
furnlnltty, but not until 1t was asrcrtaned that
1t was lower than 4chwgEnfurtli's. This real
trouble with this bid was that t!le bidder had uf-
