The foregoing verdict was reached

the death of Rarclay. that occurred at
the Chatham hotel. Philip H. Dallam,
who was with Barclay when he was
killed, was absolved from all blame

Alliance sent two contestants. Miss

the dramatic class. Both did ex
ceedingly well and Alliance can be
proud of the efforts made. Miss Le
one Mallery was given first place in
the humtrous class and the only
thing that prevented Miss Montgom
ery from securing first in the drain
atir class was the fact that her se
lection extended beyond the time
limit of fourteen minutes, according
to one of the judges, Miss Alice
Florer, Co. Supt. of York county.
Those attending from here, other
than the contestants, were Supt. W.
