j. Rafter drew the prize he donated,
the first time this ever occurred in Gar
diner.
AS soon as the awards in connection
with the season tickets were made, it was
announced that 4 few minutes would be
allowed for voting in the diamond ring
contest. The contestants, Miss Effie Tur-
ner, Mrs. Samuel Minister and Miss Flor
ence Scott, worked exceeding hard and
created an extraordinary interest in the
affair. The interest became intense as
the minutes allowed for voting passed.
An unusual amount of money was expect
ed from the contest, yet the people were
surprised when Mr.. Russell announced the
result. which was: Miss Turner, $.3935
Mrs. Minister, $519.70; Miss Scott, s175.9S.
The total of s1235.03 will leave profit OF
about $780, 1t was announced that Mrs.
| Minister will be given Il ring equal in
value to the one that will be presented to
Miss Turner, and that the gold watch,
| first intended to be given to the contest
ant holding second place, will go to Miss
| Scott. This announcement was applaud
| ed.
Numerous guessing contests and other
schemes have been conducted at the va
'riouS booths and good sums have been
realized from all. In the American booth
| of which Mrs. Brown was chairman, $12a
was taken, leaving Il profit of S105. This
will probably surPass the amounts taken
| at other booths. Just how much the 9TH
ers made could not be determined, last
| night. 1t is thought that they averaged
about SEQ.
To anybody who has attended the fair.
| that it has been successful is obvious.
While the Johnson Opera house is not so
large at the Coliseum, the former has
| enabled the Beard of Trade to hold a fair
which has made more money than any
| than any that has been held for many
years. 1t was estimated. last night, that
| about $1,000 will be cleared.
