short, bright snappy advertising The EVEN
ING STAR NEWSPAPER COMPANY offers three
prizes of s10O, $50 and S25 each, to be awarded
to the writer's of the best three series of articles
setting forth the advantages of The EVENING
STAR as an advertising medium written under
the following conditions:
The series is to consist of six articles, de-
signed for separate publication, of not over
one hundred and fifty words each, and any less
number of words may be used.
The articles are to be based on the sugges-
tlons given below. Each article may contain
one or more of the suggestions, as the contest
ant may elect provided all the points are CON-
pretended in the six articles comprising the
series.
No reflections are to be made on anv of our
contemporaries beyond that implied in the fact
OF their enjoying only fraction of The Stars
circulation.
The contestants must reside in Washington
or in one OF the suburbs of Washington
No articles will be received later than June
20, 1890.
Contestants will inclose with their ESSAYS an
envelope containing name and address. The
contestants, however, will be known to the
judges by number only.
The awards will be made by a committee
composed of Messrs. Isadore Saks, s. W. Wood
ward, Washington Danenhower and A. Lisner.
Address all inquiries and communications
relating to this contest to Editor Advertising
Contest.
The points required to be covered are:
1. The average circulation of The STAR for
the first three months of 1890 was IS. 236. this
being more than treble that of any other Wash
ington newspaper.
z THE STAR has larger and fuller crcula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading and purchasing population, than any
other newspaper in the world. 1t is essentially
home paper, the extent to which it is relied
upon by members OF the household. particu-
larly by the purchasing portion of the commu-
nifty. being the marked characteristic of the
paper, to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish parallel.
3. The value of advertising is in direct pro-
portion to the circulation of the paper, con-
sidering the character of its readers. Weighed
in this balance The STAR is one of the cheap
est advertising mediums in the United States.
and far cheaper than any other Washington
paper.
T. That an advertisement running for three
months or over with one change month costs
about A. cents a line an insertion or less than,
one-serenh of a cent per line in each thousand
papers.
o. sworn statement of the circulation of
The STAR for the preceding week is published
each Monday, and its press and circulation
rooms are open to the public and its circula-
tion books may be inspected by any one having
an interest in their examination.
6. The fact that The STAR is universally rec
ognized as the great ''Want" medium of the
city and the advantages Of making wants
known throughit

Through spectral caverns Of the dead,
And sought-and sought In yain--to pierce
