Ledger Scholarship Awards.

After very interesting and hotly
contested race, the voting contest for
the two free scholarships in the
Stockton Business College offered by
the Ledger, came to close on Tues
day last at noon. The rivalry for the
honor of the first prize was intensifi-
ed from the fact that the sum of 500
in cash-sufficient to pay all ex-
penses during six months course,
was attached to the scholarship. The
two successful candidates are Miss
Mary Heath, and Lewis Love: each
wining free course of six months in
the college and the first named re-
ceiving 800 for expenses. Both
candidates did valiant work for the
Ledger, as the number of votes re-
ceived by each sufficiently demon
strates. We are free to say that both
have fully earned, by hard and
effective work, the full price OF the
rewards. This office has been fully
repaid in the number of new sub
scribers added to the list, and the
receipts from old subscribers for any
outlay it has been put to on account
of this contest: and we hereby thank
all the contestants for the valuable
aid they have afforded US in bring
ing the Ledger subscription list to a
paid-up standard. The last day of the
contest was exciting, both leading
candidates keeping back thousands OF
votes to the last hour. Indeed more
votes we're put IN the last day tllan
