affair and assure themselves that nothing that

The returns show it. Now we can expect a

this column on Friday last that he would
not be surprised to see 1000 votes poled by
Monday last night
Miss Connelly's strength in the contest i.
wonderful and it seems to be ON the increase
esterday this lady received 2O5 votes
which ran her total up to 629. Miss Burns
who holds second place, received number OF
votes yesterday, but they did not materially
strengthen her position, when the gains nj
some OF the other leaders are considered
Misses Phillips, Hess and Faust made rand
strides towards second place Yesterday and
the hrst two named ladies bounded over the
2Oo mark, making perceptble gain on Miss
Burns, who made such an &xeellent contest
with Miss Connolly for first place last week
As we stated last week such contests are
never won until all the votes are polled and
no matter how great lead one may have it
Is not safe to depend upon TOO long. In tn,
cases of Misses Connolly and Burns the lead
for first place changed in twenty-four hour,
twice last week
Miss Carrie Faust, who was one of the late
entries last week. has made an admirable
run thus far and if her votes come in at the
same ratio for the next few days the end OF
the week may find her dangerous rival for
one of the two places at the head of the
table.

the names of such teachers who have credit

We have received from cOntesting teacher
a letter requesting review Of the file of
votes to see if a mistake has not been made.
whereby the teacher receives credit for SO

typographical error had been made in the
return table, but upon reference to the record
book we find the figure is So As all the
votes received up to P. m. on Saturday last

missing will tend to change the result the

the judges for their decision.
We have also received the following:

MANY SUBSCRIBERS.
Pottsville, Pa, Jan, %, 1898
The signatures of three very prominent
Pottsvile gentlemen who are regular sub
seribers to the HERALD were attached 10 the
above leHer. We are pleased to have an
opportunity to decide the question raised in
the second part of the letter The HERALD
is not being sold to clubs at agents rates and
it will not be. Several applications have been
made for special rates ON promises of large
orders, but all have been denied. We agree
with the correspondents that to sell She
papers to all who apply for them at reduced
rates would be giving some contestants an
unfair advantage over Others, and mere than
hat we would be destroying the HERALD's
IDENTITY as one cent daily paper.
All suggestions regarding the contest will
be cheerfully received and considered by the
contest editor.
