lie Advances a Claim for the
Warner t'rize-What mr..
Warner Says.

The following appeared in the
Morning Herald, Of this city. to. day:
OTTAWA, February l2.-Professor
Virgins, OF this city, has advanced
claim to the Warner prize, which was
awarded to Professor Boss, Of Albany,
on the ground that he, Virgins,
received letter from one Of the
board saying that his answers upon
the probable effect Of the comet were
the best. he offers to give the name
Of the writer of the letter, condition
ally that no attempt will be made to
iDjure the writer, aud that the award
be reconsidered."
A Post Express reporter was dis
patched to the office Of H. II. Warner
Il Co. this morning, and in answer to
inquiries was informed that the prize
essays we're signed anonymously, the
real name of each competitor being
enclosed in sealed envelope accom-
plnying the essay; that the essays
we're sent to the judges by Director
Lewis Swift, OF the Warner Observa-
tory, who took entire charge Of them;
that these Judges-Professor New.
ton, of Yale College, Professor
Henry NJ. Parkhurst, of New
York, and Professor E. Co.
bert, OF Chicago, passed upon
the merits of each essay, without any
knowledge of the real name of any of
the authors DR.. Swift retaining the
name with its pseudonym-and that
on the whole they were unanimously
agreed that the essay of "Hipharchus
Ill" was the best. This was Lewis
Bose. Of Dudley observation, Albany,
n. Y, and to him the prize was
awarded.
Ifany zone of the board" informed
Mr.. Virgins that Ibis answers upon
the probable effect of the comet we're
the best" nothing is known of the
matter here, and even if in that par
ticular his essay was "the best" it
does not Of necessity follow that the
essay, as a whole, was entitled to that
distinction. The donor o: the Warner
prize said he would, if possible, secure
Mr.. Virgins ESSAY and furnish copies
Of the same. together with the prize
essay Of Professor Bose to any Cana
dian or American paper, aud they by
publishing them might decide for
themselves if any injustice were done
Mr.. Virgins. AS for reconsidering
the award that is now wholly out Of
the question. Mr.. Warner is a man
of justice and honor, and he would
not, of course, be party to any injus-
tice to any competitor for any of his
prizes. When the conditions are
once announced he must conform to
them and to the conclusion Of the
duly declared judges.

But his prey bsppened to be tied by a

hurled from his legs and hurled

The Souther exhibition, a successor
Of the famous display made in Atlanta,
will be held in Louisville, KY, for 100
days. to be given on August |, 1888.
A building covering 100000 square
feet is now going up at the southern
end of Fourth street, the popular
thoroughiare of Louisville, where
there is a Central Park, of which the
people of the city are justly proud.
These same citizens have subscribed
S225,00O toward the expense of the
show, and appeal to the country for
moral aid only, provided this
aid consists in liberal exhibits
and personal visits, This year
will not witness less than
twenty exhibitions in which the good
people OF Boston are expected to take
part. But next to our own autumn
shows, entitled to the first and fore.
most consideration, the Louisville
exhibition seems to deserve special
and cordial attention. 1t is too late
to declaim on the business advantages
of every exhibition. But Kentucky
is new ground for such things, aud the
hearty encouragement Ofits enterprise
can not fail to accomplish much good,
material and moral, especially the
latter. New England people should
show little psrtiality to the Louis
vile enterprise, resting assured that
greater intimacy and wider sympathies
will benefit both parties.
