 The first prize, hand painted plate. was won by Mrs. w. H. Johnson, the guest of honor was presented with dup licate of the first, and the consolation, cup and saucer hand-painted, fell to Mrs. Gray Huffman.

For the first quarter mile they held it, then the powerful, rhythmic stroke of Cornell sent the Red and White shell ahead until the half-mile. when Cornell led by half length. It was clear now that the struggle was between Cornell and Columbia.
 The mile post passed. Cornell and Co., lumbia were so even that picking the leader became guess work.
 At the two-mile mark Columbia came into the lead. slowly at first, but with a strong, clear stroke. It looked at this point as if Columbia's was the strongest crew and had forced a lead after two miles from a weakening Cornell eight

 Both crews were stroking 35, but Columbia's weakness was apparent. She had rowed herself out, and at the last quarter Cornell began her dash to victory, On she swept, sturdy and precise

This world is enlarged 10 the child
when it hears the first fairy tale. What
it then hears 1t has not seen with It's
own eyes, but still the tale must have

or the child will not be able to under

circle OF things seen widens. and with
this also the circle of tales which
carry further its experiences The child
is. now old enough to ask for fairy
tales.
What is fairy tale? A tale Of tho
wonderful? If YOU were to ask a child
this question 1t would be unable to
understand or answer you. If 1t were
able to answer the question it would
have to be SO far advanced mentally
that it realized the mysterious effect
OF the fairy tale. It would then prob
ably deny that it was the wonderful
