big European tour subscription con-
test yesterday, and when the votes
had all been counted and tabulated 1t
was found that there was new lead
er for each of the contest divisions.
In the First district Miss Elizabeth
King gained the first seat and Miss
Esther T. Heisley accomplished the
same feat in the Second division and
is the first candidate to pass the thir-
ty thousand mark. Miss Julia Lewis
a popular yoSng lady of Manassas
comes to the front in her district for
the first time.
One feature of the voting is the
closeness of the standing. In the
FIRST district there is only one hun
dred votes difference between the head
ladies. and the second six hundred and
sixty votes between Miss Heisley and
Miss Anderson, and in the Third Miss
Lewis has just few more votes than
Miss Pullman.
