In Second Place.

Investigate, the terse and brief report,
'off again, on again, gone again,-Ffn-
negan," were the scores reported for
the standing of the drum corps contest
at Virginia.
Winners were heralded far and wide
as having been Sleepy Eye, first; CHS
holm, second, and Ely, third. The
towns affected had taken the decision
of the judges for granted, congratulated
Sleepy Eye, and commisserated CHS
holm and Ely-the latter two vowing
to do better next time.
The day following the closing of the
state convention, the ION again" sos
was flashed to the world that the judges
in the contest had figured wrong and
that the lineup was changed mas
much as Chisholm was the winner with
Ely, second and Sleepy Eye, third.
In scoring, the judges had figured
without the lowly decimal point and
the standings after being boiled down
showed the following result:
SLlSlIolIi, ....'...'.'''... ....Sf.U
ely, '......... 500
Sleepy Eye, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1862
st. Paul, 1873
BY looking at these figures it can
be seen that Ely was only -tenths
of a point behind Chisholm and four
tenths of point above Sleepy Eye.
Director Dillon of the Ely Drum g.
Bugle Corps informed the Miner that
insofar as he was concerned the first
score would not be protested and he
thought the announcement would stand
as first given. 1t is problematical if
Chisholm will demand recount and
an adjustment.
All the judges at the contest were
experts in their line chosen from several
states of the Union. They simply
figured wrong and the three winners
were the losers.
