Ten days after the publication Of the
last picture was the time originally set
as the limit within which al answers
must be in, but it was soon found that
such limit would be unfair TO many
who lived at a distance from New York.
The unexpected number OF queries that
needed answering also made an extern
sion seem advisable. The time limit on
acceptance was therefore put over 10
midnight of May 20. Any entries mailed
before that time. as shown by the can
