WICHITA GOT LEFT
HUTCHINSON DID NOT GO MUCH ON
ITS MUSICAL TALENT.

ITS MUSICAL TALENT.
All rho Little Towns Around Beat IL at the
JubiIee--They Come Home short on
Prizes bu; Long on Honorary Mention
They are Much RiIed Over Their Treat
ment and They VIII Never Go Again
Cox Beat Out of the Tenor Prize on an
Alleged Pretext--List of Prizes and the
winners.
The Wichita delegation to the Hutch
inson Jubilee returned yesterday morn
ing on an early train and 10 say mat
they were in i'll humor would not pe
adequately expressing their feelings
The i'll humor of the traditional Wet
hen was not circumstance 10 IL 1aeE
practically got nothing at the jubilee
although they allege without the least
mental reservation that they were IN
Justice entitled to half dozen prizes.
This of course, is only their side OF II.
The Hutchison people probably think
differently. Not few of them eX-
pressed spectacular opinions of the de-
cisions of the musical umpire as well
as of the sense of fairness of the en-
tire shooting match connected with the
jubilee. They will probably never go
to a HUTCHINSON jubilee again: at least
they Will not if they do not cool off in
the meantime. One of the parties Sald
to an Eagle reporter that they were
shamefully treated. All the little
''one horse" towns around us got
something, said he, and everybody

or play either, compared with US.
for one shall never agin pay out
penny to attend jubilee So long as it
is held in Hutchinson. The people
treated us well but the management Of
the jubilee as well as the judge treated
us outrageously."
One of their most particular griev-
ances is the fact that W. J Cox was
barred out OF the tenor contest. He
was barred out on the alleged ground
that he was not a resident of Wichita.
one of the managers of the jubilee
said that he received an anonymous
letter from Wichita informing him of
the fact but some of the Wichita dele
cation allege that they asked him to
show them the letter and that ne could
! not do so. Il honestly think" said
one of them last night, that he got
no such letter and that it was only an
! excuse to prevent Wichita from taking
/ the tenor prize"
The Wichita people also think that
! Topeka got prizes that il was not en-
/ titled to. To sum the whole matter up
/ the Wichita musicians think that the
1 cards were stacked against them and
/ they are vowing hard that they will
| get even with that Jubilee outfit" as
| they call il.
! 1t would be interesting TO hear the
/ other side of the matter. and doubtless
/ the management of the jubilee will
have something to say with reference
/ to the singers and players of the Peer
less Princess and why they did not
! get some prizes.
