result of this competition has been that
Major Joseph Kirkland of Chicago, H., has
taken the fist prize of $1,000. His story is
entitled The Captain of Company k
Mr.. Kirkland is the author of "Zury, the
Meanest Man in Spring County" The
McVeys," and other stories. The second
prize goes to Omaha, Neb and is taken by
Mrs. Eliza w. Peattie. Her story is enti-
tied 1.-THE Judge" The third prize, of
$500, was awarded to Elbridge S. Brooks of
Boston, Mass. The title of his story is,
"The Son of ISsichar." The competition
more than fulfilled expectations, and there
will be published during the next year or
