THE GRISWOLD WHEEL.
Prizes Awarded In Kespouae to the Oner
for Literary Effort.

Prizes Awarded In Fespouae to the OfIer
for Literary Effort.
The prizes were awarded this
morning in response to the liberal
offers made by NJ. D. Griswold. for
the best comros. d advertisement
written on the merits of tho Griswold
wheel. There were 20 such compo-
sitions to select from and the task
was found to be difficult one. Mr..
Griswold absented himself from the
examination OF the contributions en-
tirely and evinced his purpose that
the matter should be decided absolute
ly on its merits. Nevertheless an ad-
vertisement is an advertisement, and
the judges realized this, and while
they found some superb gems of lit
erature. it was too often the case
that the subject-the Griswold wheel
suffered for the sake of sentiment,
while on the other hand the literary
merit was sacrificed in the effort to
be ELUSIVE in the description of the
virtues. All things considered. eou-
tribution 43. which was found to be
that OF Harry V. Baker, OF Rock ISL
and, was decided as best meeting all
suggestions and to it was awarded
the first prize. Mr.. Bakers adver-
tisem0nt reads.

GriSwOld had n bicycle.
And IL was something new.
And every time he d advertise
It's circulation grew.
The hubs were made of hardest steel,
The cones were turned inside.

The tools you'd view with pride.
The front fork. too, YVES very strong,
And guaranteed the best.
And il it ever did 90 wrong
W as replaced with interest.
The rims, of vineyard wood were wrought.
None better in the land:
The tire, too. was "a Dunlap,
Or else some other brand.
The SprOcket was detachable
In both the front and rear.
With u turn upon the lock nut
You could easily change the gear.
In fact. the wheel was out OF sight,
The best one you could get,
But go down and view it for yourself
For Griswold has one yet.

HIS SILENCE SEVERELY.


Rocent dispatches from Europe show that Lord
Dunraven's failure to express any regret at his
oc,,on toward the Defender syndicate is calling
,or,h severe criticism from his nearest nelghbors.
..,rhe St James's Gazette published an article on
rho subject on Thursday. in which Dunraven was
taken to task FOR his delay in the matter The
,,..a "a an echo OF what has been said here by
noonle who think that the Irish Earl cuts most
rrotesque figure on English stump as an ex-
nounder Of Anglo-American politics. The ST.
Iames's Gazette" says: Instead OF losing no time
IN making amende 10 the body OF gentlemen whom
ha has grossly nsuted, Lord Dunraven is stump

undertakes to lecture anybody on anything.
Least OF all is he qualified 10 reprove Americans
FOR hostility toward this country which he has
been Largely instrumental in provoking

Dunraven should take the advice Of his fair-minded
countrymen and send an apology 70 the New, York
