THE FAMOUS BUILDINGS
State journal Readers Flood Office
With Replies-Winners Announced.

Saturday proved several things con-
| clusively. First of all the novelty of
| the contest interested a larger number
of people than usually participate in
contests of this kind. That the con-
| test interested all classes was demon
strated by the variety of stationery
| used by contestants. The great num-
Der of replies received was simply
| amazing, and is another illustration OF
how the people do read the newspapers.
| The answers received clearly show
! that this contest stimulated much
| careful thought on the part of those
| who submitted lists as 80 per cent were
| correct on all the structures. This in
itself made it well worth while entirely
aside from the fact that the winners
will encircle the globe with Lyman H.
Howe at the Grand this week as a re-
! ward for sending in their lists. The
| great number of replies received at the
| State Journal office early Saturday
| evening was a surprise as it was hard
| ly thought that many answers would
| come in before the Sunday and Monday
mails.
The contest indicates, too, that more
women manifest interest in a contest
| of such an educational nature than do
men.
| Scores of our readers recognized and
named correctly all of the structures
4
showing that readers of the State Jour-
/ nal are well-read and well-informed.
The lists, as a class, indicate an inti-
mate knowledge of the most historic,
| important, highest, longest and most
beautiful edifices reared by man. Here
are few interesting facts developed
| by the contest. The picture least recog-
n1zed was that of the Kremlin in Mos
| cow or course everybody recognized
our National Capitol at Washington
and the Eiffel Tower at Paris was also
recognized by nearly every contestant.
The following is the correct list of
the structures in the illustrations: Cd
Great Wall of China. CD The Krem-
| lin, Moscow. ca The Capitol, Wash
! ington, D. c. (4) Houses of Parlia-
ment, London CD Eiffel Tower, Par
| is. co ST. Marks Cathedral, Venice.
% The Tai Mahal, Delhi or Agra,
