During tho afternoon Manager Starr
aided by q staff of intelligent and incor-
ruptible newspaper men, counted ballots.
The tickets were taken from the ballot box
with grain shovel and heaped upon a
large table covered with striped canvas.
Several plain but serviceable pasteboard

of disposition on the part of the
voters to east their SURFACES for other

donned suit of chain armor under his
modest everyday attire.
In the evening many of the contestants
wore beautiful costumes in honor of the
finale of the affair. No. Is appeared in q
rich, tasteful costume which elected much
admiration. At an early hour the polls
were closed, and thenceforward the interes,
conferred in the count. Occasionally g
blank ballot would come to light, and now
and then one upon which several numbers
were written. So
