6aIlotne Is Heavier Than Usual and the Second District Is Headed by a New Contest.
 ant.

The unusually heavy balloting still continues in the SentinelRecord's personally conducted tour of Europe subscription f contest and something like 10000 votes were cast yesterday. Despite this heavy poll and the eyi- dent desire of several of the contest ants to reach the leade. ship in their respective districts, the votes were so evenly distributed that but one change in leadership occurred, and that was in the Second district, where Miss Alta Smith succeeded to that honor. Mrs Bailey made heavy gains
 in the First district, as did Miss Mooney in the Second district. Miss Smith goes from fourth tp first, with Miss Sanders following up by a very close margin.
 Narrow Margins Prevail.
 In each district the leader holds her position by such a narrow mar gin that one gcodssized new subscrip- tion would wipe out the difference, and place the recipient at the head pf her district, and today's balloting willu undoubtedly tell a much differ ent story. The friends of many of the candidates are urging them to vote heavily and get to the top and this influence is being felt in the balloting As the contest band wagon only contains two top seats, it is manifest impcssibility for more than two of the young ladies to pose as leaders on amy one day However. there will he other days and those who failed 10 reach the top yesterday may fare better today.
 Prizes Worth Winning.
 The prizes which the SentineIRec- ord has hung up for the winners in this contest are not cheap or clap-trap affairs, such as are often offered in voting contests, but consist Of three magnificent Cook tours of Europe. a delightful vacation of six weeks, dur ing which the winners will be taken to visit the eastern ports of their own countfy, Canada. Scotland, England and France, during the heated term next July and August.
 A tour of Europel What could be more delightful. Where could you spend more pleasant six weeks dur ing the sweltering days of mid sum- mer than be our guests and travel with our friends on the wonderful bfip to Emppe? There is not place of interest but what has been carefully gone over and provided for; not piece that will be visited by our guests but what the way has been provided and paid for. From the time the candidates leave Hot Springs and start npon their vacation. car fare, meals a la carte, bel'ths and parlor car fare have been arranged for, and until they reach the point of the it. inerary, St. Louis, where they will be joined by some of the other young ladies who will accompany them on this tour, nothing will be neglected which would add to the comfort and pleasure of our guests.
 Better Than Year in College.
 There could be no tour that would add more to the culture of a young womRn orI contribhte more toward putting the finishing touches on the education of such a one just starting out in life, than Cook tour of Flu rope, like three young women will take next July and August as guests of the Sentinel-Recogd. Such a trip has been the dream of thousands of women from their early childhood It is the crowning feature to the stu c.,>ss.-s, . -i,s5. through yesus of applica- tion, have endeavored to train their minds to be of some iEss iii ie world and helps in fitting them to go forth fs....4 ff,aes fta.T h.axso cf,sd-
