men and women and two registered
Shetland ponies for boys and girls,
one with a cart and driving outfit.
the other with saddle and bride.
With the end today, there will, nat
urally, begin a constant stream Of in.
quiries at The Times Office tonight
and next week from hundreds of d.
rectly-interested persons seeking to
learn the names OF the winning con.
testants. Though the campaign ends
today. IL Is certain that the entire
accumulation of votes Will not be
counted until probably Wednesday or
Thursday or next week After that
the contest judges will have the
laborious task Of sorting and adding
up all the ballots and then checking
them back. which will occupy all OF
two or three days. This, with other
incidental causes for delay which are
pretty certain to come up, will delay
the final announcement OF the win
ming contestants for at least q week.
With this situation certain it will
be useless for the contestants and
their friends TO call at the ONCE or
telephone for information regarding
the winners, as il will be impossible
for anyone connected with the paper
to offer any reliable information be
fore the judges have gone through
the ballots. Most OF the contestants
might naturally believe that the con
test department would know the
standings; Ii may here be said that
the contest employees have purposely
kept themselves in ignorance OF the
standings OF the various workers fol
the prizes. II Is easily understood
why this has been done.
Among the contestants the follow
ing facts must not be forgotten TO-
day: :
No votes will be accepted after 8
o'clock tonight
The ballot box will be closed
promptly at o'clock and none OF
the contestants will be permitted to
place ballots into 1t after that hour
DO not forget the ballots you have
at home; do not appear at the contest
office only TO ask for time TO go home
again after them, as the request will
be denied.
DO not think of waiting In The
Times office tonight to learn the win
ming contestants. And do not waste
your own time and interrupt tie
strenuous work of the contest EN-
ployes next week. seeking TO learn
the winners. Wait for the announce
ment OF winners in the paper The
announcement will be made just as
quickly as possible and any informa.
ton in advance OF the final announce
ment, regaruiess of It's apparent
worth or of its source, will be unre,
liable Only the contest judges Will
be able to say who the winners are
Again, do not forget that the ONCE
doors will be locked and the ballot
box closed 20 contestants promptly at
g o'clock tonight.
