POPULACE SPILLS
HAZEL DAWN BEANS
But Anyway She Got One of
the Prizes at Automobile
Fashion Show.

The instant Miss Hasel Dawn drove
her winton Six form fitting car onto
the infeld at the Automobile Fashion
Show at the sheepshead Bay Speedway
yesterday afternoon she saw a reporter
from the greatest newspaper in all
Nassau street. and the reporter had
big badge pinned on him labelled
Judge" and Miss Dawn invited tho re-
porter who later was to be In on the
awarding Of prizes to ride back to town
with her in her car after II was all
over. ana when It came TO the awarding
Of prizes sure enough Miss Hazel Dawn
won.
The clamor Of an unthinking populace
which never should nave had SO impor-
tant part in the dealing out OF prizes
had great deal ID do with the fact that
Miss Dawn won merely the third out OF
the four prizes given. OF course nobody
Is besrudging the prize awards to those
who came out frst and second, but when
competent Judge is selected by the offl-
cials and when that Judge leads a lady
to the furthest end OF the field and
solemnly whispers a promise that In
gratefulness for her kind invitation to
ride back TO Manhattan with nor he's
going to see that she gets first prize
and that her sister. Miss Eleanor Dawn.
is going to get second prize-after all
these preliminary arrangements have
been attended to and the contract has
been signed and sealed. it's more than
Irritating to have the actual awarding
Of the prises left TO the incompetent
public.
He Lamped Her Lamps.
One can imagine how mortified q
Judge must have felt during all the tide
back from the Speedway to THE SUN
building with nothing but yellow satin
third prise banner auttering from the
tonneau Of Miss Dawn's car
without q doubt the popu'ace which
gave merely the third longest and loud
est round of applause to Miss Hazel
Dawn and her car had the mistaken no.
ton that IN the line "the smartest look
ing car with top and lamps complete"
the word lamps meant the lights on the
car. The Nassau street Judge rightly
took the view that the line clearly meant
Miss Dawn's lamps. and as Miss Dawn
undoubtedly owns one Of the most COM
plete pair of lamps known to tho hu-
man race one Of the judges maintains,
and will to his dying day. that she didn't
get all that was coming to her.
There Is no use raising a holier now
Of course. but 1t does seem only right
that when Judge makes solemn prom
Use long before most of the other en-.
trants have arrived at the Speedway al
all Justice demands that lot Of buffers
In ought to mind their own doggone
business and permit somebody capable
of making a Just decision to award the
first prize according TO schedule instead
of everybody buttins In and spelling
everything when they should have been
attending to their own darn affairs.
But let bygones be bygones. WhatA
to a lot of fussfussers. Just lot them
grasp the fact to-day that they sure did
spill the beans all over the Speedway
yesterday when they upset the plan so
carefully prearranged between Miss
Dawn and the most discriminating Judge
on the whole infield.
