the contest for the numerous prizes Of

the applications for copies OF the prov

Many make personal application, but
the greater number ask to have the

section of the United States the letters
come 10 the contest manager. 1t was
not expected that numerous readers
Of The Tribune who are abroad would
have such a lively interest in the solv-
ing Of the proverbs. but the contest
department has received large num-
Der of applications for proverb books
and back numbers OF the pictures.
In q Eumber of instances the writer's
of letters from abroad commend the
contest for its educational and amusing
sides. but there are others which show
that the miles Of ocean which separates
the contestants from New York have
not served to damp their enthusiasm
for prize winning.
