COUPONS ENDED
IN GEORGIAN'S
PONY RACE
Voting Limited to Subscription
Ballots So Winners Can Be
Announce at Contest Close.

Contestants for The Georgian and
American ponies no longer will find
coupons in the papers emitting them
to votes. The vote coupons have
been discontinued entirely, and
henceforth only votes secured by
getting subscriptions will count.
This is done in order that it may
become possible to announce the
winners of the contest almost as
soon as it closes on the night of
July 81, instead Of ten or fifteen days
later.
The contest manager has found
that coupons come in from a week
to ten days late, in some cases two
weeks late 1t takes time to collect
coupons, of course, and If they were
printed right up to the last day OF
the contest, it would be two weeks
before all the votes were in and the
result could be announced.
And, of course, the new regulation
is as fair for one contestant as for
another All contestants have had
an even chance at perfecting a sys-
TEN of getting coupons from as
many friends as possible. From
now on comes the real test of abil-
ity Every one will admit that the
contestant who does the newspapers
permanent good by getting sub
scribers is more worthy of being
awarded a pony than those who sim
ply clip the coupons from day to
day.
Friday and Saturday only remain
in the club bonus offer, giving 10000;
12,500 and 5000 votes for clubs of
$35, S25 and SIS respectively. And
but twelve days remain in the con-
test
