OUR YOUNG FOLKS CONTEST
1T Is GROWING MORE INTERESTING
AND EXCITING EVERY DAY.
The ratty Little surry Is Ready and Can
Be Seen at Joyoe's ware-rooms, on Con-
nestiout Avenue, To-morrow-Lookins
for the Ponies.

The already widespread interest in The HER
AIDS contest to ascertain who is the most pop
ular boy or girl in Washington will probably
be greatly increased by the announcement that
the natty little surry which will be awarded to
the winner has been finished by the builders,
Messrs. Andrew j. Joyce's Sons and will be on
exhibition at the ware-rooms of those gentle
men, Nos. 1923 and 1890 Connecticut avenue
tomorrow and until further notice. If this an
nouncement does not increase the interest in
the answer to THE HERALD's question, a
sight OF the article certainly will. 1t
has been constructed in the finest style
OF the carriage builders art, of the
very best material light and graceful, but at the
same time serviceable and durable. 1t is in
deed thing Of beauty and will be joy for
many years to the boy or girl who is so fortr-
nate as to have the largest number of friends
among THE HERALDs readers and who Sc
cures their votes in the contest. The surry
is in fine, as handsome a vehicle as can be
built and 1t reflects great credit on the Messrs
Joyce's Sons.
To obtain pair Of perfectly matched ponies,
sound, handsome, and well-broken, fit to be
driven in such chef d'9utre as the surry is not
an easy matter, as the propretors of THE
HERALD have discovered. A number of horse
dealers have been on the lookout for such
pair of ponies for several weeks, but as yet
their efforts have not been successful. Several
span have been offered, but none of them were
up to the standard of beauty, blood, and train
ing fixed by THB HERALD. And so the dealers
have had to look further. Such pair as is
desired will, however, be secured before long,
If they have be specially imported, and then the
entire handsome equipage will be exhibited in
publicsin different parts of the city, SO that all
may have an opportunity to see it.
Meanwhile the contest has not Jagged during
o,ar Of yoto

| gardlng conditions, ETC., and as to when the
