The “ Judge’s ” Second Prize Offering 1 BRHALY OF THE Grant Monument Fund, As was intimated at the outset, the Jupar's word hunt was but the initial step towards a grand series of prize offerings to be made by the publishers of that paper in furtherance of its plan to aid in securing a suitable memorial to the late General Grant. In spite of 11s more or less complicated character, the ** Word Con- test” just ended proven a great success. By it JupGE has enlisted over 3,700 energetic, spirited and intelligent workers for the Grant Fund, has materially swelled the total pre- viously received through the Grant monument committee by the contribution of a good-sized check, and” has, in addition, divided $600 among eight successful and ‘happy. puzz! workers as a reward for their labor and genuity. The Jupor, realizing that its first word puz- zle was, toa certain extent, complicated, now inaugurates another contest of a more popular character—a contest. in which every school child can engage and stand an equal chance with older competitors. Every person who, in conformance with the governing rules, sends to the JubGE's fund 50 ‘cents and the names of the most popular living men in. America ¥ entitled to participate in the contest. The money thus seceived is to be appropriated as Twenty-five cents will be at once credited to the Grant fund, The remaming twenty-five cents, after de- ducting the legitimate expenses of advertising, be led equally among the six competi- tors having the fullest list of the most popu- lar people, as indicated by a majority of all the lists sent in. The new contest, it will be ob- served, is based upon the principles of an election, each competitive paper virtually act- ing in the nature of a ballot, and tie six lists which contain the greater number of the eleven names shown to be the most popular by a majority of all the lists will be the suc- cessful prize papers. GOVERNING RULES. Each competitive paper must contain eleven names of living United States or Canadian residents—no more, no less—must be written ink or typewriter on one side of the paper only, and must be preceded or accompanied by a remittance of 50 cen’ james must be written in their alphabetical order, commencing with first letter of sur- name, 2s follows: Blaine, James G.; Cleveland, Grover. Priority in registering name and contribu- tion (in advance of list) will be one factor to the advantage of competitors where two or more lists have the same number of names taking into consideration distances and tim of mailing: that is, the person who sends in his or her name and 50 cents now, reserving, if he or she so chooses. list until later for con pletion or revision, will, in case of ties, take precedence over another who remits’ both money and list later on. If, after list is forwarded, contributor desires to amend or revise it, he or she is privileged to do so upon an additional contribution of 50 cents, and will be given the benefit of the date fint very severe shock and overheard a terri Purchased lists, or lists compiled or obtained by other means than through one’s own efforts. or the assistance which may be rendered by Homedials relatives or friends, are’ not per missible, JUDGE guarantees that the first or leading competitor will receive, at the very lowest figure, $400, In case of ties, any one or more of the six separate awards or divisions will be distributed pro rata, as the occurrence of the tie may quire. Communications open until June 15th, 1887, 12 o'clock noon. The old contest is closed and the new fairl under way, The Judge Publishing Company's checks in payment of the awards published in last week's paper,are now in the handsof seven fortun- ate “‘ word hunters.” The eighth is still awaiting the application and indentification of its owner, Mr. Charles Tarleton, of Charleston, Ill, Will Mr. Tarleton kindly ‘let us hear from him at once? There is a remote possibility, that Mr. Tarleton’s name is an assumed one, and that for this reason our letters addressed to the Charleston post-office have failed to reach him. In an . there are one hundred dollars awaiting a claimant at this office, which if not called for in due time, will have to be distributed in an equitable manner among other competitors. ‘Ihe acknowledge- ment of receipts of checks by all prize winners will be published ax rapidly as they may come in, JUDGE will be exceedingly glad to receive ap- plications for its Grant Fund circulars in quanti- ies from Grand Army posts, schools or private individuals who may be willing to advance a good cause by distributing them among friends and acquaintances. A number of such applications have already come to hand and Reve been’ promptly and gratefully responded to. Let us have more of them. The kindly interest shown by the people of the Southern states in the JupGe'x movement in behalf of the Grant monu- ment, indicated both by the numerous contribu- tions made from that part of the country to the last contest and by the multitude of encouraging letters and press otices received in relation to the w, furnishes pretty conclusive evidences of the final obliteration of old animosities, and the estab- lishment of a new and lasting bond of friendship betwen the two sections, SYMPATHETIC.
