of it,
People from all sections are sending in or
calling for the back pictures which form SUCH an
interesting feature of this fascinating contest.
Out-of-town orders for both catalogues and
back numbers of the contest pictures show that
non-residents of the greater city are solving the
illustrations with as much enthusiasm and as
strong a determination to win prizes as those
who live in the city.
OF course il is quite we'll understood that this
contest is for every one, and The Tribune believes
that people of all ages will find entertainment and
intelligent recreation in the naming OF the books
illustrated.
The idea of the competition, which is simply
to name the titles of the books the illustrations
represent, gives all contestants equal opportunities
of victory.
Every picture represents the name of book
and the knowledge of books is widespread
as much about books as do those in another.
Young folks, too, are quite often as well pre-
pared as adults to win in this contest.
But the attractively gotten up Official Bookread-
ers Contest Catalogue of The New-York Tribune
will be found very useful in assisting contestants to
arrive the answers to the pictures The catalogue
contains large list Of names of books. new and
old and all of the correct OF the books TO De
represented by the illustrations throughout the
contest
Every correct solution is contained within it's
cover
The catalogues are now in full stock at the Con-
Department of The Tribune No 154 Nassau
street The price at the office is 20 cents or the
