Of all the pleasures which ma
ture has given man the power to en-
Joy the keenest, is that derived from
fair contest. To the winner in any
fair rivalry where wit is picted
against wit, effort against effort,
endurance against endurance, there
is satisfaction not to be found in
any c'her pleasure. The sense of
superiority thus acquired is the only
sense of superiority that is laudable
and bears no resemblance to vanity
which is engendered by wealth or
mere success of physical strength
or charm. The loser in a fair con-
test is yet winner by the mental de-
Velopment acquired through con-
testing gallantly against keen oppo-
sition. To the winners in this pop
ularity contest the pleasure of the
strife will be equal to the magnifi-
cence of the prizes.
