The Ladies' Driving Contest.

A wonderful amount of interest was
manifested in the ladies' driving con-
test, which event took place imme-
diately following the floral parade,
and the number Of entries was so graft
flying to the members of the Central
Committee that they we're induced
to offer three additional prizes. The
skill with which the Sumter ladies
handled the ribbons was amazingly ex-
pert, and MADE it very difficult un-
dertaking for the judges to pick the
most expert. To the lot of Dr.. E. s..
Booth, and Messrs. W. M. Graham
and A. D. Hardy fell this arduous
task, and their selections met with the
hearty approval of ell who witnessed
the contest.
Miss Brown, of Pinewood, driving
pair of dark bays, which she kept
under perfect control, was awarded
the blue ribbon. Miss Mamie Boyle,
though handicapped by the team she
drove, won the second prize.
The first prize in the single teams,
went to Mrs. /. @. Strauss.
Mrs. H. M. Stuckey's magnificent
management Of her excited animal
won for her the red ribbon.

Miss Jewell BurdeII is the Queen of the
Fall Festival.

Subdued and intense excitement
marked the last day of the race for
the Queen OF the Sumter Fall Festi-
val. Three candidates practically even
in the race at the beginning of the
day and all strongly hacked we're
rounding the curve on the home
stetch at terrific rate. Words fail
to adequately depict the scenes
around the ballot boxes. The whole
city was interested in the election, and
everyone connected with it was beset
with inquisitive friends in support of
the respective candidates. It is safe
to say, that never before in this State
have any three young ladies received
such an enormous vote on similar
occasion. This fact was known dur
ing the day, and it tended to increase
the excitement and keep it at high
er pitch.
Promptly at the first stroke of 10
O'Clock, the committee, consisting of
Messrs. H. Hardy, Jr., Chairman,
Douglass China, Sam B. Mitchell
and Geo. D. Levy, took charge of the
ballot boxes, and went to the Office of
the Clerk of Court, where the count
was made. The result was as fol-
lows:
Miss Jewell Burdell, 5000.
Miss Marie Noise, 2,237.
Miss Rosalie Moses. /, ,313.
The net receipts from the election
was s727. Is, which amount will make
up the deficit in the funds over appro
prlated by the Central Committee.
