A wonderful amount of interest was manifested in the ladies' driving con? test, which event took place imme? diately following the floral parade, and the number of entries was so grati? fying to the members of the Central Committee that they were induced to offer three additional prizes. The skill with which the Sumter ladies handled the ribbons was amazingly ex? pert, and maae it a very difficult un? dertaking for the judges to pick the { most expert. To the lot of Dr. E. S. Booth, and Messrs. W. M. Graham j and A. D. Harby fell this arduous task, and their selections met with the hearty approval of all who witnessed the contest. Miss Brown, cf Pinewood, driving a pair of dark bays, which she kept under perfect control, was awarded j the blue ribbon. Miss Mamie Boyle, though handicapped by the team she j drove, won the second prize. The first prize in the single teams, went to Mrs. L C. Strauss. Mrs. H. M.

Miss Jewell Burdell is the Queen of the Fall Festival. Subdued and intense excitement mai ked the last day of the race for the Queen of the Sumter Fall Festi? val. Three candidates practically even 1 in the race at the beginning of the J day and all strongly hacked were J rounding tbe curve on the home stetch at a terrific rate. Words fail to adequately depict the scenes around the ballot boxes. The whole city was interested in the election, and everyone connected with it was beset with inquisitive friends in support of the respective candidates. It is safe to say, that never before in this State have any three young ladies received such an euormf>us vote on a similar occasion. This fact was known dur? ing the day, and it tended to increase the, excitement and keep it at a high? er pitch. Promptly at the first stroke of 10 o'clock, the committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Harby, Jr., Chairman, Douglass China, Sam 6. Mitchell and Geo. D. Levy, took charge of the ballot boxes, and went to the office of the Clerk of Court, where the count was made. The result was as fol? lows : Miss Jewell Burdell, 3,609. Miss Marie Moise, 2,237. Miss Eosalie Moses. 1,313.
