contests in general, and on the G b e
contest in particular, they will not long
allow her to be far from the leaders.
The other young women are gaining
steadily, and in the parlance OF the
race track, the victory viewed at this
time belongs to any one of the en-
tries.
The total votes cast up to date, In
GLIDING yesterday, are 1879, 4O7, OF which
the men have received the greater pro-
portion.
The struggle between the Mannheim
er representative, Mr.. Newman, and the
Great Northern representative, Mr..
DAM, still continues exciting, with
number of others we'll up. A strong
competitor and one who seems to be
overtaking the tip-toppers, is the
Northern Pacific man, Henry A. Tx
man, who yesterday made noble eff
fort through his friends and was lifted
into third place past the Milton Dairy
candidate, Ned Cummings, although
the latters associates cast number
of votes to his credit through the day.
Mr. Ekman has host of friends who
believe he should start slowly and
make his running when the contest was
we'll under way. This is nearly the
end of the second weeks voting, and
now when his friends have seen how
the land lies, they have begun the
work that counts, and he may be de-
pended to keep after those who have
more votes than stand to his credit.
He received more votes than any or
his competitors yesterday, or about
double the number put in for Mr.. New
man, the leader. Michaud Bros man,
John r. Kelly, also received quite a
Nf xxyI1i nE
total up to dignified proportions.
The young women's contest is as eX-
citing as it can we'll be, and there are
certain surprises in store for those who
feel secure in both classes. A glance at
the accompanying table will show
something of the vote in detail.
