cheaper bill of fare and their price OF
lodging divided by four. Most OF the

dozen gate keepers are employed, and
visitors at the pay gate are so scarce

close to the original productions that

THAT BEER AWARD.


Tho Announcement was iTclhutW'S anu
Unauthorized.
Capt. August Roll, OF this city, who
is one OF the judges OF awards in the
beer competition at the Worlds Fair,
says all the newspaper talk about an
alteration of tho award is uniounded.
He says tho award was never made to
tho Anheuser- Busch company nor to
anybody else. The judges have author
i1ed no announcement vi any award,
aud any publication oil the tindngs on
which the awards must be based was
premature and unofficial. a considera-
bio amount OF work must be done by
the judges before the awards can be re-
ported.
If the figures as made by tic judges
have been altered, Captain Roll says,
it must have been on account OF some
misunderstanding of Professor WiIey's
chemical analysis, and ii this proves to
be tho ease he feels rs il an entirely
new analysis ought in justice to all
parties to DO required. Some OF the
beers in competition have not yet been
analvzed, and must be sent to Washing.
ton City for that purpose. Then several
weeks work on the part OF the judges
will remain to be done. He expects to
return to Chicago on Monday or Tues
day to resume his duties as Il judge.
