A number of the contestants came to
qure who won the first prize, but no
| information could be given on account
of the closeness of the scores of Mr..
Shepherd and Mr.. Kipp. 1t was not
until a late hour that it was ascer-
tained to a certainty who the winner
! was. In accordance with the rules of
the contest all subscribers >whose
names are secured during the contest
hn n Inf al thSf, il,nr
| paid in advance, and each subscription
| blank turned in by the contestants had
| to be compared with the list of sub
scribers on The Tribunes books, so as
| to be sure that the names on the blanks
did not violate this requirement in any
| way 1t was matter of some time to
examine several hundred of these
| blanks, so no information could be
| given out on Saturday.
Today begins the last week of the
| contest. 1t is hardly necessary to dwell
at length upon the vital Importance of
each contestant doing his or her utmost
to better their standing during the next
| six days. The ones nearest the top at
| the end of the contest will have the best
| of it in many ways. When it is deter
| mined in what positions each one fin
who it may be, will have a free and
| unrestricted choice of the thirty-three
scholarships. He or she may select
whatever scholarship suits best, or
| whichever one he or she believes they
are best qualified to enter upon. When
| that is disposed of the contestant in
second place will have the same privi-
| lege of Il choice from the remaining
| H.;
| will be pursued until all the scholar
ships are gone.
1t is a regrettable fact that the young
| ladies who have entered the contest
have not done nearly as we'll as the
young men. This is all the more to be
wondered at because there are Il num-
Der of scholarships in the list peculiarly
suitable to young ladies, among them
being a scholarship in the WilkesBarre
Institute, a seminary exclusively for
young women; five in co-educational
preparatory schools; ten in music and
art; five in business colleges, and five
in the International Correspondence
Schools. Not one young lady was
! among those who helped to swell the
total Of the record breaking day on
Saturday, and the highest any of them
| is placed is nineteenth position this
| morning. Last year, among the WIN
ners of eight scholarships four of them
were young ladies, and one of them had
more than twice as many points at the
| close as any young man. Perhaps the
closing week will see an Improvement
in the work of the young ladies'.
There are six days more Of the con-
test, which closes at o'clock sharp on
Saturday, October %.
