the work in solving the puzzles herself.
her husband typed out her solutions for

aroused the curiosity of the judges.

All the tedious work of making careful

layed the final announcement Of the
awards But every contestant will ad
NIT that the delay was caused On'v
BY the determination on the part OF
the Judging committee and The Tribune
TO protect fully the rights Of each person
in the competition. and in the end give
positive assurance that the contest was,
as have been oil previous Tribune cor
tests, conducted by the most careful ard
conscientious methods and in an abso-
lutely fair and honest manner.
The first four prize winners. as a mat
ter of fact, scored the same number Of
correct answers, but the rules providing
for Just such contingency declared
that in case Of a tie the contestant who
submits the least total number Of an
ewers should be declared the winner.
The Judging committee consisted of
Justin Mccarthy, advertising manager
Of Abraham & Straus. Brooklyn; Sam
uei Levisohn, secretary for George G..
BENJAMIN, clothier. Fifth Avenue BULL
ing. Broadway and oath street; Sydney
F. Wall. advertising manager Of the
ONeill-Adams Company, Sixth avenue
and 22d street.
For their conscientious and careful
work in determining the winners too
much praise cannot be given them. In
spite of the long and tedious labor in
volved they spent many hours on the
minutest details. for the purpose of
guaranteeing TO every person who par
ticipated in this contest the absolute as
surance that the awards were deter
mined completely and honestly within
the spirit and letter Of the rules pro-
vided.
