The third cash prize was awarded to
William Musser for his photograph of
Benning Station. The photogra pher has
not only exercised originality in select
ing his subject. but has carefully chosen
the most picturesque position from
which to take a picture OF the station.
To the layman, viewing this same
scene, the subject would not readily rec
ommend itself. Mr.. Musser has selected
what appears to be a most unattractive
spot The station, with its single little
shed, unpretentious bridge, and the few
leafless trees bordering the sides of the
stream would have little attraction for
the unskiiled eye. However. the photog

An interesting fact in connection with
the two photographs awarded first and
second prizes. respectively. is that the
canal scene presents the better original,
while the swimming pool lends itself
more readily to reproduction in half
tone. The fine lines, beauty of color and
general outline of the former combine
to make really beautiful study. In fact,
the detail is so clearly marked that it
can only be duly appreciated In the orig
fnaI. The half tone, however, is still an
attractive reproduction. In the swimming
pool photograph the character of finish
has done much to aid the engraver in
producing a fine cut The bank of the
pond, the shade of the trees and general
light of the picture have been admirably
brought out.

Both pictures strongly recommended
themselves IN that thev embodied the

originality in the selection of subject.
The Art Of It.
This is the first and most important
rule Of the contest. 1t is an easy matter
for one to take a picture of building, a
group of statuary or some other object
already arranged for representation. But
the artistic mind will naturally select
its own subject, and the degree of orig
irality manifested in the pictures goes
far toward recommending a photograph
to one Of the awards.

DEFEATED.

Watched by Large Crowd
Some Neat Shots.

Joe Concannon, of Woodbridge, who
is said to be the most expert pool
sharp in the county of MiddleseX, de-
feated Elmer Christopherson, the local
pool player, by thirty points in a pool
match of 100 points at Harding Is
hotel, Hall avenue. last night, for n
fair sized side bet.
? The pool room was crowded when
the game commenced at $50 O'Clock.
The local man was at first the favorite
with Perth Amboy sports, but later in
the game it could easily be seen that
Concannon would win.
The local mai was at his best and
made some neat shots, but it was one
of those games ut which n fellow
seems to be down on luck and every
thing is against him.
Christopherson may try for a return
game to be played in Woodbridge.

son, who is said to be quite a pool
player, is trying to make arrange

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The stew.
ards at Bennings made a ruling in
the placing of the horses in the fifth
race that brought the Indignation Of

They also discredited the placing
judges decision.

but Magic Flute was given the place.

stated after the race that he placed
Bill Curtis second, but hat the stew
ards ordered the number changed ana
Magic Flutes number placed second.
Tears started in McDOwell's eyes Us
ne made this statement to the report

ruling on the part of the stewards to
discredit the placing judge. No such
case has ever occurred in the history
of racing.
