The governor showed his interest
in the affair and his appreciation of
the beauty Of the wee little Floridians
assembled for his inspection by pre-
senting every child in, the contest with
present, whether a prize winner or
not.
The original plan was to have the
three governors, Gilchrist of Florida,
O'Neal of Alabama and Blease of
South Carolina, to act as the judges
in the baby show, but after the plans
had been arranged it was found that
49, Governor O'NeaI or Governor
BE could attend the fair, so that
two other judges had to be secured.
However, representatives from the
states of the two absent governors
were secured to act in their steads
and L. w. Hardy, superintendent of
the community exhibits department,
who is q native of Alabama, was ap-
pointed to represent Governor O'Neal,
while G. H. Simpson, who has charge
of the Santa Rosa county exhibit, and
who is a former South Carolinian,
served in the place Of the governor of
his native state. Both of these gentle
men proved themselves fully equal to
the occasion and capable of represent
ing their states in the capacity of
judging beauty, and were as attentive
christ In fact, the judges conducted
the show in such a manner as to con-
tradict the impression that to act as a
judge in a baby show is to court
trouble, and the general impression
was that the decisions were fine.
On account of the large number Of
babies and the length of time con-
sumed in making the awards, a great
many of the prize winners in their
TRSnpRfiVa ria mo- in hA
when the classes were completed, so
that the grand capital prize was not
awarded. OF course, it was impossible
for the judges to make a decision as
to the prettiest baby girl in the crowd
unless all of them had been there, and
although, the prize was on the grounds
and had been on exhibition in the
Woman's Building, it was not given
away. However. this was no fault of
the ladies who had the affair in charge
nor of the judges.
