Connelly planted his flag on the farthest ice-floe, and Petone waves congratulations to its daring explorer this morning. Ono hundred and eight thousand five hundred and seventy votes is not si bad week's work. And e'en tho ranks of Tuscany will scarce forbear to cheer.

Taylor and Gallichan are well in the race for tho four hundred thousand. "We expect shrewd surprises next week," says tho Contest Manager.
