The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1913-04-04
Piano Contest
Closes April IA
Only A Few More Days to
Work for the Beautiful
Piano.

The Climax Great Piano Voting Con-
test is nearing its close and as the time
for the final count and awarding OF the
prizes approaches the interest in the
outcome is unprecedented, the whole
being stirred from center to
The young ladies realize that il is
now or never-that the time has finally
come for the final dash down the home
stretch, and with the beautiful Ober-
mayer 4 Sons piano and other valuable
prizes before them they are working as
never before. 1t is no longer catch-as
catch-can contest, bnt rousing, sys-
iematic hand-to-hand battle of ballots
The contestants realize that TO the vic
tor belongs the spoils, and that each
young lady lined up for the final dash
is an opponent that will require some
tall hustling to overcome.
The young ladies are working cou-
tiously and playing the game with all
the diplomacy of trained politicians
Friends are being organized for the
grand finale, the next few working days
of the contest will show as pretty a
race as the people of this town have
ever seen. From hints dropped along
the wayside il is evident there will be
some big surprise when the final count
is announced, No one but the contest
ants themselves know how many votes
one may have unvoted. There is al
ways possibility of some dark horse
coming under the wire ahead in the
field" with bunch of votes that have
been held back. Contestants in the
lead should not rest on their oars at
this stage of the game in the belief that
they have the race cinched. A contest
ant far in the rear may dump in bunch
of votes at the last sufficient TO sweep
aside all opposition. The piano, no
doubt will be won and lost many times
in the next few days. Some of those
making seemingly poor showing now,
undoubtedly, will at the last give the
leaders a run for their money These
tagging ones are saying nothing but do
ing a lot of woodsawing. Nothing
worth having was ever gained without
some effort, and $4,000 piano is not
10 be picked up any day. This is a
prize worthy of the most strenuous
efforts of any young lady and the con-
testant who is wise will expend every
ounce of her energy IN securing the
country side for votes from now until
the close of the contest. The one who
wins the piano will be the one who
marshalls her forces the most effective
y and who hurls every ounce Of her vot-
ing strength into the arena at the final
count.
