The jury advertised for bids, and
received them at the last months

cepted or rejected those presented. /.
but deferred action until the June
meeting, when another batch was
presented quito different from the
original consignment. and it was
awarded to the Herald, whose edi-
tor offered the jury the sum of
$500 for the crown of glory ex-
pressed by tho title of "oficlal
journal" When the bids were
originally called for, the Ibsriau
was the lowest in the list and
should have received the award,
but when it got to the Saving and

landed 10 Jeanerstte. That thing
might 60 in Iberia, but it would
not be accepted as the proper
course elsewhere. The same ques-
ton was deferred in St. Mary by

from the original document, and
gave it to the Watchman, which
was right. We don't give sumar
