the result and awarding of the prize*
was made by Dr. A. R. Sholars, to
the expectant multitude who com-
pletely filled the big lobby of the
Holland hotel on Saturday night, hav-
ing patiently waited for one hour for
the judges to complete the work of
counting the ballots and casting up
the result, and with this announce-

the winners, the crowd Vapidly dis-

Maxwell runabout that stood in wait
ing outside and being whisked home
in triumph.
The intense interest that was taken
in the contest was evidenced by the
immense throng that gathered in and
around the Holland}hotel to witness
the closing of the contest To while
away the time of waiting and enter
tain those present, the Leader had
provided an orchestra, which dis-
epured sweet music during the time
of the voting and while the judges
were counting the ballots.
The final count showed some sur
prising changes, just as had been pre-
dicted by the contest editor, and in-
dicated that the last days of the con-
test were strenuous ones for all the
contestants. The most remarkable
increase was made by Mrs. Geo. W.
Winter, whose vote went from 11,940
to a total of 225,690, Miss Vera
Starks making the next largest gain,
her vote jumping from 102,655 to
287,735, Miss -Maggie Middleton was
pressing hard for first place, her vote
jumping from 111,330 to a total of
262,630. All of the contestant* did
magnificent work, but special men-

ner of the first prize in District No.

$15,000 in Orange, in reconstructing

A new and larger switchboard,
larger wires, taller an dheavier poles,
and various other improvements are
being made and when complete will
be equal to other important commer-

Throwing Their Surplus
Stock on the Market
Having over bought and the dull summer coming on we are compelled to realize on our in-
struments. W eare sending out carload after carload of pianos and they must be sold, and
at the best prices which we can get for them. Seldom do you have an opportunity to buy
our piattos at a loss to us, but this time you will have the rare chance to take advantage of
being over sanguine in our purchases. We have a carload of fine brand new
our
standard pianos on sale now in Beaumont at 295 CROCKETT ST., and virtually at your
own price. THEY MUST BE SOLD. We simply ask you to call and look at them and
price them—if you do not buy it is our fault Remember, also, that every piano is guaran-
teed by us with a million dollars behind it, and if it is not just as represented we will take it
back and refund your money. To our friends who live in the adjoining towns near Beau-
mont who contemplate purchasing a piano and especially those who have written us for
prices and terms we would ask that you take advantage of our sale in Beaumont to secure a
piano at a very low price. THOS. GOGGAN & BROS.
