The contest was very close and there
was general doubt as to the result.
Miss Richards rose to fine heights in
the cup race. while Miss Fulghum,
who had been III all day, was extreme
II graceful and her selection was
beautiful, and Miss Ernestine Smith
was SO perfect in her presentation of
a gidGy girl. while Miss Robinson was
so cute and bewitching that Senator
Mallory admitted that his committee
o: judges could not all be of one
opinion but had finally reached a de-
cisiOn and awarded the medal to little
Miss Robinson, which brought out a
approval from the audi
ence.
The music was delightful and set
heads and fans 10 waving in rythm.

deserved tribute TO Prof Jockey and
biz efficient corps of teachers.
