Dallot-boxes at the close of the time
allotted for the ninth week. When it
is remembered that the contest has
practically just started and that over
100000 votes have been cast In this
short space of time, it shows beyond
a doubt that the people of the city
have entered every energy in this cam
paign for their favorite organizations
and during the next few weeks one of
the prettiest races ever waged between
local institutions Will be inaugurated.
For the interest n excitement It bids
by far to surpass anything ever at
tempted in this line, as practically
every person In Essex county is being
interested in the fight by the commit
tees Inc members of ~contesting organ-
izations. An example of the interest
was manifested all day Thursday and
late Friday evening. when calls were
being made to learn h result of the
weeks vote while the accountants were
still hard at their work, In an issuS
of the Pittsburg Gazette Times, where
a free libraries voting contest similar

Following their plan of doing all In
their power to help and accommodate
the voters, the managers are ready to
give certificates for labels or trade
marks, and date the certificates for any
time the holders desire. This plan will
save the votes and at the same time
give the holders the privilege of cast

Among the schools st. Joseph's School
holds the lead, with the Hawkins Street
School q dangerous second. In this
class some great changes may be ex-
