Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-04-27

The race Is nearing the end. The
goal is in sight for some. Who will
be the lucky ones to make this trip
of trips? The endurance tests given
in demonstrations with some of the
higher class automobiles is as nothing
compared to. the persistent mo stop
yote-getting crusade that has been 60
ing on since March oh conducted by
number of ladies In these Islands.
Is the prize worth the effort? Well,
rather Ask any of the young ladies'
who have enjoyed one of the Bull e.
tins former trips for confirmation.
The question which has been con.
tinually asked since the contest was
well started. and which is as I'M
aEswerable now, as on the first day,
is who will be the winners?"
The question is no easier Of solu-
ton now than 1t was week ago, or
will be week hense. Ii remains
with the young ladies themselves.
To use slang phrase, Its up to
them"
One of the charming contestants
may retire tonight to dream of all the
beauties of the trip: of snow.clad
peaks only few miles apart, oi Bridal
Veil Falls and coy retreats, and all
the other delights OF the trip, safe In
doing So because, is she not way
ahead?"
But oh what difference the follow
ing evening to find that Miss or Mrs.
Blank has piled up a total that looks
something like the figures usually
seen in connection with Halley's
comet? II is then that the dream
look leaves her eyes and one OF
determination takes its place. She Is
eager to beard the yote-producer In
his den. She will show Miss or Mrs.
Blank a thing or two about getting
votes. And she generally does.
The trouble for the contestant who
thinks she is certain OF winning. Is
that all are afflicted with the same
do-or.die mlcrobe, consequently 1t is
NOW you see 1t, and now you don't
game and 1t will get more so as the
time shortens up.
The contest manager Is absorbing
some of the excitement himself and Is
alive to the situation as 1t stands
now. and expects to see some wonder
full changes made manifest In the
count Saturday. The result of this
count will be published next Mon
day.
The winners of this contest will be
announced at the same time as the
comet becomes most visible here, and
Il remains to be seen which ones will
claim the comet as their lucky star.
