There are only to bo heard ex pressions of satisfaction with the decision of the judges, the fairness : of their count, and the justice shown l, each candidate, and the Daily News has heard not one expression of dis satisfaction with the management of the contest or the f.n2l closing vote as counted and verified by the Judges. In the final vote standing as pub lished yesterday It was noted In \ parentheses that no chaperon was accredited to Mias Ada Rhodes.

The sparks were driven for more than two blocks by the wind and one i or two buildings Nwere caught by thesebut were easily extinguished. Later four streams of water were directed at the church and the flam es gotten under control. The church was constructed la 1881 and enlarged In 1808.
