The contest between the Immaculate
Conception and St. Anthony Crusaders
for the elegant gold fringed banner was
very exciting, the st. Anthony boys
carrying off the prize amid the deafenlng
cheers of the crowd by vote Of 4o2S
against 1865 for their antagonists.
The gold watch on Holy Rosary table
was awarded to Miss Rose Mulligan
who carried it by small majority, the
voting being 1868 against 1915 for Miss
Julia Gleason,
The most exciting event Of the week
was the voting on the magnificent dia-
mond set worth $3.50. The fair confess
tants were Miss Mary Moran, president
of the Young Ladies' Sodality of the
Immaculate Conception, and Miss
Mary Ring, president Of the Young
Ladies Society of st. Anthony of Padua
two favorites in their respective
parishes. Every one was interested in
the outcome of this contest. Men,
women and children, pastors and
all, watched the result with
eagerness. Very little open voting
was done and the friends of the candi-
dates were on the "qui vive'' watching
each others movements. The mana
gers expected $1,000 from this article
but when the cash was counted it relied
UP to the grand sum of 81 ,515,36, the
highest figure ever reached by compe-
titive prize in this city. The vote stood
as follows: Miss Ring, 7446; Miss
Moran. 7705. Miss Moran was de-
clared the winner Of the prize and her
many friends shouted themselves hoarse
over the victory. 1t is asserted that the
friends of Miss Ring had plenty of
money with them but thought it un-
necessary to use it.
The result of the contest took every
one by surprise, and the managers
were profuse in their thanks to the gen
erous friends Of the contestants. The
utmost good feeling prevailed from first
to last between the young ladies and
their respective supporters. The last
prize disposed of was the silken Ameri-
can flag between the Hbernian Rifles
and the Irish-American club. The
Rifles had an easy walkaway, as their
competitors for some reason unknown
to the managers, made no effort for the
prize.
The vote was 81 for the irish American
Club and 1877 for the Hibernian Rifles.
Capt. Kennedy of the Rifles on being
presented with the trophy, returned
thanks in a few felicitous words. The
victors were cheered by the large multi
tude in attendance.
The smaller articles remaining oyer
on the various booths will be disposed
of in few days, and notice will be
given hereafter when the drawing will
come off.
A telegram was transmitted to Father
James Meg olrick apprising him of the
glad news that the bazaar for St. Mary's
hospital was grand success in every
particular.
