Worked Hard in the
Contest just Closed.

ssigned to the various hotels Of their

choice. ~ lfskCs55
The contest closed last Wednesday,
night. and on Thursday morning The
Tines-Dispatch business Office had somel
what the look of a bargain counter IN
a department store II
Tee-Dee parties arrived In punches, and
then came the selection OF Tee-Dee resorts
at which the parties will spend their we'll
earned vacations. Everybody was In & al
happy humor. and the business was dis
posed Of quickly and satisfactorily to al
concerned.
There were one hundred and sixty
thousand and ninety-five coupons depos-
lied in the contest-enough paper, II
placed end to end, to reach from Rtch- 4
mond in a straight line to Petersburg.
The coupons, If laid flat one upon the
other, would make pile higher than the
tower of The Times-Dispatch building.
The same coupons occupied enough ag-
gregate space to have covered. over thirty-$
one thousand columns of The Times-Disu
patch.
The contest commenced on June Tth
and closed on July 18th. There We're
forty-four entries Of Tee-Dee parties. made
up Of two ladies' each and each party had
the privilege OF selecting another lady,
who accompanies the party in the role OF
chaperone.
We're Many Workers.
This makes one hundred and thirty-two
ladies who have been personally mixer \
ested, and who have strenuously worked
for several weeks In securing coupons
and voting certificates for the Tee-Dee
contest. The rivalry was spirited and
the race a closely contested one. Free
quent statements appearing from time
to time In The Times-Dispatch kept the
con testants inform ed as to their standing
ir the race. A noticeable feature Is the 4
fact that a majority of the winning par-
ties were early entries and leaders from
., mr. nrf In m,
win, and held a strong pace to the fln-
ish. never ceasing their efforts and vigl-
lance.
The day after the contest closed the
following telegram was received which
indicates good time for the Tee-Dee
