Apple show is over
Financially, it is believed that there
Will be practically an even break, ac-
cording TO officers of the association.
The association did not expect to have
balance, and their widest hopes
were for an even break.
Miss Lorena Mae Wade of Paonia
was crowned apple queen. Pursuant
to Mr. Wade's wishes the committee
struck off $500 votes in favor of Miss
Wade. There were l.470 mutilated
ballots which the selecting committee
did not consider. but the official count
was recorded as follows: Lorena
Wade. Paonia, 29.100; Alberta Smith.
Montrose, 2S.350: Katie Truclson, Ar
vada, 10,G40; Jessie Emley, Canon
City. 1,7G0; scattering, 1880. With
every questionable ballot in her favor
eliminated Miss Lorena Wade was de-
clared apple queen by a plurality of
$50 votes.
The scene that followed the official
announcement was one that almost
overcome Miss Wade. She was sur
rounded by scores of admiring friends
and showered with congratulations in
the foyers of the Auditorium.
AT least 5000 attended the horse
show.

formances has suggested in the minds
of many who witnessed them the de
siribility Of their continuance once ?
