The anxiously awaited free for-al
race did not materialize for the reason
that horsemen, with steppers entered
in the event, were evidently afraid
Of Star Simmons. with mark of
2:O7. One of the horses was sick and
another left the city. Every effort
possible was made to start the race,
but it was impossible to get the
horsemen together
The windup of the relay race yes
terday was very close and exciting,
Miss Zero winning out again, with
Miss Cook very close second. The
outcome OF the race for three days,
three miles each day with change of
horses every mile, was as follows:
Miss Cook. .......,....6: iii 6:35 6:15

The relay race yesterday Was fol-
lowed by running race, half mile

mention that of Lott & Co., florists.
The exhibit was very pretty one,
located in the fine arts building and
was in charge of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.

(From Sundays Daily.)

The Leaders contest for the spe-
claI prize in the Popularity Voting
Contest closed last evening at 80
o clock. Miss Lydia Flath of rural
route No. 5, proved the winner and
again captures the beautiful hand
painted plate, valued at $3.50 the
work of Mrs. Ida M. Reyes of this
city. During the two weeks of the
contest ending last evening, Miss
Flath turned in 47,87l votes. This
now gives her grand total of SO, $40
votes and places he's in the lead in the
race for the grand prize, the Price &
Teeple piano, which is to be given
away at the end of the big contest,
which positively ends at $50 O'Clock
ON the evening of Saturday. October
18th. Miss Katie Thauer. who has
held the lead IN the contest from the
start, is now a close second, having
go, l76 votes. Miss Fleureta Hartwig
has third place In the race, having
81, 737 votes. Several others follow
very closely and the chances are that
there will be a lively finish. From
now till the evening Of Oct. 18th,
every contestant should put forth their
best efforts to win the handsome $500
piano which goes to the lady having
the highest number of votes at that
time. A few subscriptions to The
Leader may make some one of the
contestants WIN are now down tbs
column, the winner. This has heen
the secret ot the success of those now
in the lead. There will be no more
special prizes offered and from now to
the end Of the contest the effort will
be solely for the regular prizes and
each and every one of the contestants
should make an effort to try and win
the capital prize, the handsome piano,
which is on display in the former
library building.
One good feature of The Leader s
contest is that all of the young ladies
who are dong actual work, will
receive some valuable prize. If they
fail to get the piano, there are nine
teen other good prize awards. In
fact it is the best list OF prizes ever
offered in this section OF the state on
such an occasion.
When The Leader makes the announ-
cement that the contest will close at
9 80 o'clock on the evening of Satur-
day, Oct. 18th. it means just what it
says. The close will be just at the
stroke of the clock. There will be
no DELAYS and no tsvortism will be
shown and the contest will end just
as 1T has been conducted from the
start-on its merits.
The various manners of securing
votes have been published from time
to time, till all OF the contestants
are now familiar with the same. The
only suggestion now to offer is the
necessity of hustling from now to
the finish.
