tried here. The boats. in jockeying for
the line, had shown some of the prettiest
work that has been seen here, and when
the jockeying resulted in the Valkyrie OBJ
tanning the windward position, as the two
boats headed for the line, there were
murmurs of disappointment in the crowd
when it was discovered that the Valkyrie
had the windward position. Both finally
approached the starting line, with the
Valkyrie leading and to the windward of
the Defender.

Entries may be made at any time.
When sending in a batch OF votes 1t is
not necessary to write the name of the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in bundle, Sc
curing them together by a pin or string,
and write the name of the lodge they are
intended for on the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured so that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors Of the piano In order
to vote. Everybody Is entitled to vote as
often as they please. All they have to do
Is to cut the ballot out of THE NEWS and
send 1t to the Barnaby Company, where it
will be duly registered and filed. What
ever organization has secured the most
votes gets the piano. That's all there Is
to ii.
The price of The NEWS is one cent.
This price Is invarable except to news
dealers and to newsboys.
No papers will be ayaila BILE at The NEWS
Office to anyone at less price. AS q mat
ter OF fact this price Is 25 cents hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price of
two-cent paper. The decision TO
sell the paper at the regular price to other
than dealers and newsboys, Is based on our
usual practice. We have twico had, within
few weeks, order for five thousand
papers, containing certain article which
the buyer desired to mail throughout the
6tate-having nothing to do with the
piano contest--and the price demanded
and paid was fifty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that all interested may
have an equally equally ,,,ssh, fair show s3,
crimination in favor OF those who con.
ceiye the idea Of buying in large quantities
and perhaps SECURING all the votes they
want from an extra order for particu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any sunk" during the piano contest.
Any and all papers returned and sent to
through the ballot so that 1t will be
unavailable.
No one connected with The NEWS Office
or with the j. B. Barnaby Company will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except in the
regular edition Of The NEWS.
The standing of the Barnaby Company,
the medium OF their competition, is sufii-
cient to guarantee the friends of the rival
organizations that not only will
the contest be conducted strictly
on fair and square lines and
decided solely on the number of votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for the procuring Of ballots
open to all alike. There will
be no "inside" work possible of
any description and we will thank any OF
the friends OF tho competing organizations
for information that seems to suggest
anything OF the sort.

EXPERT OPINION.
Boiler Inspectors Testify in,the Masha-
paug Explosion Case.

James II. Munroe. an expert on the SUBJ
iect of steam boilers, aud William III.
Hicks, the present inspector OF boilers for
the city of Providence, gave their testi-
mony in relation to the explosion or the
boiler at Msshapaug, to Coroner +. ii.
Lincoln yesterday.
Mr.. Munroe said that the boiler was
faulty when he last inspected it in 1889,
but owing to the small pressure of steam
did not think that there would be any
serious results.
Mr.. Hicks said that he had inspected
the boiler every year since 1891 until this
year, and had never noticed any de-
fects in its construction. And
he was OF the opinion that there
must have been but small quantity of
water in the boiler when it exploded, al
though there is nothing to show how
much or how little there was.
