And by the same token, never be
fore has any contest plant or idea so
captured the public fancy aa the pres
ent one. It was plainly evident at the
outset that the baby contest inaugu
rated by Tbe Times and The Tribune
would arouse an unusual amount of
interest in Concord and surrounding
country.
It has been said on all sides that tbe
list of nominations in this great race
is thoroughly representative of the
first and finest families in Concord and
vicinity and that any baby in tbe list
may have a just cause to feel proud
of the company in which it finds itself.
This is exceedingly gratifying to" the
manager and speaks volumes, for
tbe excellent standing this newspaper
enjoys in this community. With so
many distinguished families interested
it is not to be wondered at that in
terest in. the event became intense..
The voting all week has been ex
ceedingly brisk and will probably
culminate tonight in a veritable ava.
lanche of votes for many of the little
favorites. Of course these are only
