THE TINES CONTEST
Winenrs of Prizes Announced-New
Features of the Contest

Another week of The Times James
town contest has jnst passed and the
enthusiasm still continues. From
the count of the votes in the box to-
day Miss Sergeant wins the gold
watch. Miss Elsie Bowers, the
parasol. and Mr.. NJ. H. Duncan, the
Stetson hat, which they can secure by
calling at the different stores where
they are exhibited.
From the rumors we have heard
there are surprises in store for a
number of the contestants in the next
two weeks. Work is being pushed IN
quiet way both by candidates and
their friends. and we look for a large
vote to be recorded before the next
month.
In order to- please the people and
give every contestant fair show IN
this contest, and to increase the in
terest, the Times, has upon the re-
quest of a number of the friends OF
the candidates. and many of the cam
didates themselves, decided after to-
dav to separate the contest between
The salesladies and stnographer5 and
place each in a contest by them
selves. This will force. us to give
four trips, but we feel that the inter
est it will increase in the contest will
justify it. This changes the
standing of some of the can
didates, but none should lose heart
because they are not as high up in
the race as some Of the others.
In these two contests any sales
lady in the county can enter, and we
look for several entries this coming
week as soon as this notice Of change
has been read in The Times.
Again, it gives each reader of the
Times four coupons to- vote in the
to seoare new subscribers, we
contests instead of three.
Tn order to encourage eacn
to secure these new subscribers, we
have decided to give to the one Sc
curing the largest number between
now and noon of August 8th. $1,000
in gold, and to the second, $500 III
gold and to the third, $3.50. Should
the number run up to 800 in that ti-ac
we will double the amount OF the
prizes to the winners. This can be
done easily if each contestant will 90
his or her part for it figures out only
about ten subscribers each.
After next week no contestant will
be given credit for job work or al
vertising unless they bring it into the
office or collect the bills. Some think
the present way IS not fair to them
The Times has over 100000 due 1t
from different sources, and after next
week it will make out bills for these
accounts and turn them over equally
to the different contestants in the
race 10 collect and secure the votes.
Go TO work this week for the SUBJ
scriptions as this is what The Times
wants out of this contest. Two thou
sand paid up subscribers, and if we
get them, you will get the trip #
your life at our expense.

Lake.
After the reading and discussion OF
the paper, the meeting took up the
question of life insurance companies
fees. and from report of the differ

tv medical associations. it was shown
that there were but few doctors who
had not signed the agreement 10

fee than $500. and that it was eN-
pected that the most of these would
sign before another week.
The question was discussed for
some time together with other mat

the Cotton Exchange Cafe, where tile
big-hearted president. Dr.. H. R Mil

I"NTERSCHOLASTIC TENNIS.
ReImer and De Revere in Final OF Columbia
Tourney.

Spirited matches we're the order in the
seminal round OF the Columbia inter-
scholastic tennis tournament which was
continued yesterday afternoon on the CO.
lumbia courts. In the second round r.
Gates Of the Montclair High School disposed
of c. J. Nathan OF Berkeley after three sets.
the first and third Of which he won and the
second OF which he lost. The score was
o-3. %. e..
This brought into the semi-fnals r, Gates
and F. H. Gates. brothers, from the
Montclair High School and l.. Reimer and
A. W. de Revere, both OF Frasmue Hall. The
match between F., n. Gates and Reimer was
by far the best match Of the day and proved
to be an excellent exhibition OF the game,
Gates had q better mastery OF the strokes
that tell when they are properly placed,
butlost because Of superior steadiness and
telling cut on the part OF his opponent.
The first set was a love one and went TO
Gates. In the second, however. he became
erratic in his returns and Reimer, playing with
great steadiness, took the set by a score of
Q to 4. Reimer took the first three games
of the third set before his opponent strokes
began to tell, Gates brought the score up
to five all and then began to slam them over
the back line again, allowing his opponent
to win the set Is. De Revere won his
match with II. Gates %, So, after the
Montclair boy had forced the score up to seven
all in the first set, playing a clever defensive
game. The finals will be played this after
noon.
