orders the old rating of excellent" is
reserved for the highest grades OF work
only. explains that the 200 men who
received upon their discharge when the
fleet left the yard bare of work. cards
defining their work as good when the
higher rating had previously been given
them were MT really disrated.
The men point out. however the fact
that the cards read workmanship,

with still two prizes TO spare.
May Have Third Prizes.
II remains to be seen whether tie
committee will arrange an elaborate
list OF third prizes. There is every
proba bility that this will be done and
there is some chance of Fourth prizes
being arranged for.
The parade is almost two months
away, and the rapidity with which
cups and prizes are being offered has
been one of the greatest surprises
the committee has met with since it
began planning for the event. Al
ready it has resulted in the commit
tee changing its plans several times,
and the chances are it viii change its
plans again for the same reason.
The elaborateness to be employed in
decorating the machines which viii be
entered in the parade promises to be
no more a feature than the extensive
and costly prizes which VIII compose
the list OF awards.
The last OF the invitations to local
real estate firms to enter their cars in
