 Owing to the error of the newspaper writer who took down the list of prizes from the official list made out by the committee in charge of the Elks' drawings, Saturday night, little un- pleasantness has been caused: It oc, cured in the drawing for the trip to St Louis. The number drawn out of the box was 1779, and this was held by J. B. Russell of South Main street. This was announced clearly from the stage on that evening. In taking down the number, however, the newspaper man in question put down the name J. E. Russell. but the number he took from the official list was 1179. This caused a mix-up. for 1179 was held by John Henderson. When the latter gentleman came around to find out about the matter he stated that each Of the daily papers had put in print the name !. F. Russell and the number 1179. He was made acquainted with the way the mistake happened, that the first list printed was copied by the other papers as being official, but the official list held by the committee and written down by the secretary showed the number 1779 and the name T. F.. Russell This was perfectly satisfac- tory to Mr Henderson and should end all talk about the drawing.

meet tomorrow TO consider the widening OF De-

attention 10 the fact that, while the bridge was
moving rapidly toward completion nothing was
being done toward getting the approach in readi-
ness Unless the approach is ready for traffic at
the same time as the bridge a congestion at the
Manhattan end Of the structure will result that
will be worse than anything on the New-York and
Brooklyn Bridge. 1 work the widening OF De-
Iancev-st were begun at once 1t could not be
finished until long after the bridge Will be ready
for use
The delay has been due 10 the failure OF the local
hoard 10 do anything. Borough President Cantor,
when asked yesterday about the widening. said:
The approach will be put through promptly:
