NEW YORK, May 9.-"one Of the
pleasant incidents In the girihood Of
Miss frankie Folsom, President Oleve-
lands bride-elect," said Buffalo gen
tlemAn In an interview with world"
reporter, s'occurred In 1879, when she
WAS one of two contestants in .
prize package charity contest for
personal beauty and popularity
at an authors carnival, held
In the Pearl street rink In Buffalo for
the benefit of the Homeopathic Hoe
pital of that city. Miss F0lsom's oppo-
neut was Miss Blanche Littleheld, now
Mrs. William H. Gragg, aud leading
society belle Of the Queen City OF the
Lakes. Both were very beautiful.
Miss LittleHeld 10 n perfect blonde,
while Miss Folsom 10 magnificent
brunette. At the time OF the contest
each was about II years Of age.
Miss Folsom was daintily dressed in
q Highland costume, which displayed
her perfect figure In q most charmin z
manner, but she had In Miss Littleheld
q foeman worthy Of her steel, and for
several evenings of the weeks carnival
the warfare, while friendly, was ex.
ceedingly spirited, the friends OF both
ladies fairly firing ont themselves In
obtaining votes for their candidate.
IL cost ten cents 10 vote, which was
entirely too cheap, considering the
rare beauty OF both and the long
suffering cause OF charity. For three
or four days the battle ragged fiercely,
first one side being In the lead and
then the other, as good fortune or
clever tactics Influenced the totals.
The friends OF the two bellies were
finally compelled to admit that little
more could be done, for nearly every
man AMI woman in the city whose
opinion WAS worth having had Clipped
In a dime for the blonde or brunette.
To make matters more interesting, the
totals were so alarmingly close that the
slightest change one way or the other
would decide the contest.
On the closing evening Of the carni
val, when Buffalo's beauty and fashion
we're all present and the excitement was
ut lis height, the sturdy form Of Grover
Cleveland appeared upon the scene. He
may have known the fac's all along and
arrived just in the nick Of time pur-
posely.
Be that as 1t may, he at once threw
his influence in Miss Folsom's favor,
and directly her total vote was adj
vanoed to a point OF safety and she W al
publicly declared the most charming
victor in the whole city. The prize
WAS costly lace pin set with diamonds
and 1t IL safe 10 say 1t lie not one of The
least priced OF her ornaments.
