Pacific contest, succeeded in securing
the lead from Miss Ten Sue Kau, who
was the leader yesterday, but dropped
back to second in the list today. Most
all the contestants added to their
scores yesterday, but outside of the
fact mentioned there were no mate
rial changes in the relative standing
over yesterdays scoring.
Five contestants In District No.
have passed the two-hundred-thou-
sand mark and several are in close
pursuit Of the leaders. when the
triple-vote offer has closed and the
votes issued for same are counted,
there will be surprises for all.

There is not a contestant In the
| list who has lost all chances of win
ming one of the free trips offered by
the bulletin, and IL those who
are a few thousand votes behind the
leaders this evening will look over
the list and figure at the same time
the number of votes allowed on sub
scriptlons, they can easily figure out
how easy II will be to overtake, those
who are leading. There is one other
feature connected with the success of
the contestants, and that Is the fan
cied security In which a great many
of the contestants hold themselves.
II is a bad idea for any. of the con-
testants who are holding back large
reserve vote at the present time to
rest on fancied security, believing
that they have enough reserve to car
ny them through to the end and on
to victory, as no one knows how
many votes are being reserved to be
drawn on at the last minute, only
the contestant herself, and IL is a
good idea to keep everlastingly at II
until the ballot box is closed for the
last and final count.
A Comedy of Errors
The contest has It's amusing incl
dents as well as its more serious and
exciting moments. The point is well
illustrated in a little occurrence
which is being taken in the race for
ballots.
A group OF young men were seated
around the fountain of an ice cream
parlor. One of them was glancing
