Award of Prizes.
The prizes were awarded during to-
day for nearly all of the exhibits, but

sible to compile the awards in any

Another on Jennings.
1t is an old saying that murder will
leak out and it could as well be said
that a good story cannot be kept Sc
cret any great length of time. This
was demonstrated after the f1ddler's
contest this afternoon and the snap
was given away by the irrepressible
Jules Solomon, of Tallahassee. 1t
seems that Secretary Storrs, without
>saying a word, had decided to call
upon Congressman Lamar, I. A Jen-
nings, The Journal representative
and l. B. Hilson of The News, for
brief talks during the four intermis-
sions, and when he began the pream-
BILE to the introduction of Mr.. Lamar,
Mr.. Jennings evidently "smelled a
rat" for no sooner had Mr.. Lamar be-
gan to talk than Mr.. Jennings was
seized with a sudden and severe at
tack of indigestion which necessita-
ted his immediate withdrawal from
the auditorium. Needless to say he
recovered almost Immediately he got
outside. The diversion caused by the
stampede of Mr.. Jennings ratified the
scheming secretary so badly that the
other intended victims escaped.
Tomorrow will be the last day of
the fair and a large crowd is expect
ed. The exposition this year has sur
passed any previous effort and its sue
cess augurs we'll for the future of
the Gulf Coast Fair and Agricultural
Exposition which has done so much
for West Florida during the time that
it has been an annual event at De.
Funiak Springs.
