THE END NEAR ar HAND.
The Times Ballots for the Worlds Fair
Trip VIII Close This Evening.

The contest for The Times three free
trips to Chicago, which commenced in
this paper with the issue OF March 18th.
closes this afternoon at o'clock. and the
successful candidates will be announced
In Sundays Times.
The conditions OF the contest have been
carried out 10 the letter. so far as the
handling Of the ballots and the conduct
Of the polls is concerned and the other
more important provisions surrounding
the award 10 the fortunate contestants
will be carried out with the same exact
ness
The ballots have poured over The Times
counter by ones. by twos, by the hun
dred and by the thousa nd. but they have
each been carefully counted. filed and re-
corded. and the vote can be verified by
a recount at any time.
The offer made was 20 furnish free OF
charge TO each Of the three most popular
teachers I'm the schools OF Richmond and
Manchester a return-trip ticket to the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago and
fifty dollars i'm cash for expenses while
there, to be spent as the winner sees tit.
The contest has been open and free TO
all, and the manner in which the interest
has been kept up from start 20 finish
IS evidence Of the success of the plan
adopted.
The contest has not taken n decided
turn in favor Of any one candidate more
than two weeks ar time. and the posi-
ton Of the candidates have changed I'm
the most surprising way from week TO
week.
To-day is the last chance for those who
have places behind the front rank TO

Times a deal Of painstaking labor and
the amount Of expense and work I'm con-
nection with the matter has been far
beyond any anticipation OF its projectors.
If the contest. however. has afforded The
Times readers little passing interest and
will give enjoyment 10 three hard-worked

For months past | have been cordially

my fellow-citizens OF their desire 10

support before the people az a candidate
Tor the nomination for Governor. and AZ
in accord with the popular choice. TO
promote and secure my nomination and
election. Deeply sensible OF the honor
thus sought 10 be offered me. have
been naturally and candidly reluctant to

Vantagcs this condition involved toward

that | should. for a time al least, forbear
TO form or express any definite purpose
on the subject, that | might consult the

OF desire on my part for personal pre-
ferment. however honorable and inspir-
ing the position IN view.
This complimentary demand on me has
not subsidized. as was at first deemed pos
sible. but has evidently become more
emphatic as II reaches me from the
different quarters OF the State. To what
extent Il compares with that which sup
ports the candidacy OF the two dlstin'-

THE COMING COUNCIL.
VIII an Assistant Bishop be Appointed for
This Diocese?

II seems 10 be a matter Of doubt as 70
whether the Episcopal Council OF this
diocese will elect an assistant Bishop at
its annual meeting next week. The ques-
ton 10 be seriously considered. and which
will have great weight with the diocese.
is whether II is able 10 support an assist
ant. Bishop Whitte will not ask for an
assistant. but Il is thought that he will
not refuse should a majority Of the Coun-
cH request him 70 accept one. The South
ern Churchman says:
The diocese has just been divided. as
we'll as it's funds, including the Episcopal
residence. ffty-four per cent. Of which

diocese OF Virginia at this time is not

or the state.
I'm addition thereto the diocese IS
thankful TO know that the health Of the
Bishop has greatly improved He has
been able during the past few months
10 visit a large number Of the parishes
and administer confirmation, and with
comfort 70 himself. Though unable TO
preach It will be remembered that Bishop
Meade for twenty or more years before
his death never preached and vet his
influence for the good and the guidance
Of the diocese has never been excelled
