That was the exclamation Of the

contest yesterday afternoon as the

a bevy of young ladies, each bringing
a thick wad of coupons cut from copies
of the G | o b which are delivered to

AS the contest progresses, the en-
thusiasm is intensified. The campaigns
inaugurated by the contestants the
first week are now running smoothly
and the battle royal is on in earnest.
There are enough prizes-fourteen in

are valuable enough to richly reward
the winners for their trouble.
Considerable interest is manifested
over the close struggle for supremacy
between Miss Nellie Ahern and Miss

Miss Vervais stood at the head with

Miss Ahern. This morning Miss Ahern

ENGLISH SUBJECTS
WILL CELEBRATE
Queen Victoria'S Sixtieth
Anniversary on the
Throne.
Britishers Have Called a Meet
ing to Prepare a
Demonstration.
Committee of Three From the st,
George Club Waits Upon the
British Consul.

On the 21st OF June next Queen Victoria,
If she lives, will celebrate the sixtieth an
niversary of her reign as Queen of Eng.
land. Her subjects in this country have
not forgotten thai fact and are already
beginning preparations for a demonstra-
ton that will exceed in glory anything
ever tempted by them in the past. Ten
years ago Queen Victoria cele brated her
golden jubilee and her subjects In this
country fittingly celebrated that event.
She holds the record of reigning longer
han any other Queen and is still in pos
session of her full mental capabilities.
Last Saturday evening the members Of
the ST. George Club of this City called a
meeting to inaugurate plans for the COM
ing demonstration.
F. D. Brandon was appointed chairman
and Rev. William w. Bolton, f. Winter
burn and Miss Ramsey were selected as
com mittee to wait upon the British Con-
sui.
He promised to aid in furthering the
interests of this jubilee celebration, and
intends to call a meeting on Saturday,
February 6, at 2 o'clock, In the Maple
room of the Palace Hotel.
All British born residents will be noti-
fed to attend that meeting, so that plans
can be devised to celebrate.
The ST. George Club has already issued
invitations to all British societies in this
City, including the Sons of St. Patrick,
and many have responded.
In England the celebration will last an
entire month.
Not only are the Britishers in this City
expected to take an active part in the cell
ebration but an effort will be made to try
and interest every Britisber in the State.
1t is expected that there will be a great
outpouring OF En- lishmen from the in
terror.
Britishe-s responded literally at the
celebration ten years ago, and there was a
$1,000 surp u.s. That money still remains
intact, but the interest derived from it has
been used during these years for the al
deviation of distress.
1t was the original intention to build a
British hospital to be named after the
Queen, but the money was not enough 70
enable the originAtors to carry out their
idea.
Alter the coming celebration, if there is
any surplus, it will probably be added to
that $1,000 and the Brltishers will then
build their hospital.
However. as there has been some dis
satisfaction in the way the other money
was utilized the subject will receive thor
ough consideration before being finally
decided.

No Match at ALI for
BuckWa.

Evenl in a Hard Drive
From Sly.
Fl F, 100 to Shot, Played Down in
the Betting, Captured the Hurd
Race From J c.

The pet of the Burns Waterhouse string,
hooded Mt. McGregor II, sustained q
crushing defeat in his match race with
Ed Purser's Buckwa, run at Oakland track
yesterday. The attendan was large and
the major portion OF the crowd fully ex-
pected to see Mt. McGregor turn the tables
on the son of Buckra. The pair met in
mile race, decided on January II, and
Sloan, astride Buckwa, resorting to some
questionable saddle tactics, defeated the
Burns & Waterhouse entry by narrow
margin in the remarkably fast time of
1:39Z. Colonel Dan Burns, who is psrtic-
ularly sweet on the slashlng bay, was not
satisfied over the result and the outcome
of the affair was match race under the
same weights and conditions for $1,000 a
side.
At their previous meeting Sloan sat
astride Buckwa and Eddie Jones had the
leg up on Mount McGregor II. Yester-
day "Skeets" Martin piloted Purser's
horse and Charley Thorpe knotted the
reins that guided McGregor.
The light downfall of rain ruff1ed the
placid smoothpess of the track just
trifie and this, of course, was considered
detrimental to the chances of Buckwa.
So when the betting began the bookies
chalked 3 to against him and 6 TO 5
against his opponent. Later to was
laid against the Eastern Interloper. There
was McGreCor money enough 10 stall of
run on the Bank of England. with
noticeable paucity of the other end.
At the post both horses displayed few
circus tactics and were then sent away on
equal terms. Thorpe, evidently with
orders to hold the rail position at all
hazards, skipped away in front and set a
very merry pace. The clip did not appear
to Illustrate Buckwa, for he was always
Tapped on his rivals saddle girth. AL
though travelling with none too much
composure and assurance, it LOGGED as
though McGregor would win as the duo
