in New York City 1 002 political conven

Two hundred and eighty-three of them

Ten young people all winners of Silver
Medals, and wearinsr the same--strove
nobly for the large and beautiful gold
medal. Never have we seen the same
num'-er of ipeaVersof such uaiform ex
cellence. The selections more or less
distinctlv favored polit cal Prohibition,
and were persuasively and convincingly
rendered. Col. R. M. Douglas, Mr. U. v
Benbow, and Prof. W- F- Steele had the
difficult position of jHdges, and by one
point in 134 awarded the medal to Miss
Saiie Polland. The class charmingly
rendered a Prohibition song.
Wm Forsyth earlier in the exarcises
won a silver medal. He with the nine

other gold medal on Friday night Apr. 13,
It will be a treat to attend."
