Netting a sum approXimating $160, the "beauty baby show" was carried
 out in fine style yesterday afternoon
 at the Hotel Jefferson, a big crowd of women and their babies remaining
 at the entertainment throughout the afternoon.
 More than 150 babies were entered,
 and by far the greater number took ipart in the actual contest. Some few were kept away because Of the usual little difficulties of childhood, or fears of the threate/ng weather, bu, there were more than enough babies present to give the three judges a most strenuous afternoon.
 The judges were John M. Fust of Louisville, salesman for big broom and mop house, and who is believed to be man of experience, the belief being formed by the manner in which he picked out the good and bad points in the babies judged by him; L. J. Brinegar and Arthur c. Fuelscher, these latter travelling men from S.. Louis. Nothing happened to the judges, arrangements having been perfected before the show for them to make a quick getaway" from the room.
 The 100 or more women who formed the several committees in charge of the details of the affair were delighted and pleased in high degree last evening, when the show came to an end. They were loud in heir praise over the very cordial CO., operation shown them by Proprietor Walter Trulock of the Hotel Jeffer- son. the merchants of the city and he women and children generally.
 In the following official list of prize winners well known children from all sections of the city are shown. and there is no doubt what ever that the several dozen prizes and ribbons awarded yesterday will ,e looked upon with pride by fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, and ether fond relatives, for some .ime to come:
