It During This Period of the Contest.

This afternoon at o'clock closes
the second period of the Pony-Cart
Contest conducted by The Richmond
virginian for the benefit OF the girls
and boys in the city of Richmond.
Have YOU made a creditable showing
during this period? 1t Is possible for
any contestant to secure enough sub
scriptions between now and closing
time tonight to make them one OF the
leaders and have votes enough stored
away TO almost cinch one OF the prizes.
A number of contestants In each
district are very slow getting down to
actual work They listen to too many
rumors as to their competitors having
50 many thousand votes or that they
ars going to win the Pony and Cart
ever. IL ssaey. have t. spend money for
II. We want to say right here that
your should pay little, II any, afternoon
to any OF these rumors because II
your competitor had million votes
they would not want anybody 10 KNOW
It. and II they contemplate spending
money they would keep II to them
selves. an they would be afraid that
sorne Of you would combine and heat
them out
A number Of the contestants have
been soliciting the aid OF other con-
testants by aeixing them to get out OF
the race and use their efforts towards
helping them We want to advise you
not 70 do this, for the simple reason.

that much more work for you. For
instance. IL there were only ten con-
testants In the race it would be about
ten times as hard on you as II there
were one hundred working hard. be-
cause 1t would split up the business to
such an extent that 1t would not re-
quire near 20 many votes to win.
which would probably mean that what
help they would be able to give you
would not offset the extra number OF
votes you would be compelled to So
cure.
The next and third period OF the
Pony-Cart Contest opens August /. at
3 A. NJ. and closes August - at s
r. M. During this period you are re-

More than the ordinary significance
of a spectacular daylight raid attaches

Furthermore. IL is believed that the
