In epitOme the above list of names
of prize winners in The Tribune puz
zle contest tells the whole story, but
there are any number of interesting
sidelights to the contest to which
the readers and advertisers are en-
titled. While there were not so many
who contested as there were last
year, nevertheless, when the work
of counting the correct answers be-
gan, there was large basket filled
to overtlowing with letters. These
were numbered as opened and as
promised in the announcement.
Three attaches of the office worked
nearly half day to look over and
tabulate the answers.
The merchants, so far as have been
asked about the scheme, have ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the results obtained. The
winners of prizes will equally be
pleased, and the losers no doubt take
their defeat philosophically. 1t
cost them nothing to enter the con-
test, and twenty persons drew
prizes, each of which was worth hav-
ing.
The fact that nobody found correct
answers to all the puzzles should not
deter many to enter similar con-
tests when held from time to time.
The puzzles this year were much
harder than those of Il year ago, and
consequently the more interesting.
TO show how varied the ideas
about some of the pictures a few
samples of answers given herewith !:
Number 800. Crossing the Bar, y
had among other answers these,
Taking the Toll" And the Cat
Came Back ''Over the Garden
