Answers and Money Awards in that Exciting Contest about a Queer Journey.
The Mystery Trip story proved a mystery indeed to many, for while the puzzle was rather easy, it scared out not a few contestants by its looks--like the famous animal in the Bunyan narrative. And the questions thought by most solvers to be the hardest proved to the successful ones the easiest. For example, the great majority could not find "Tidbottom's spectacles," nor guess the riddles. The first-prize winner failed on one of the easy questions--What was the sea of darkness?--but answered everything else. His name is Herbert Wiswell, and he lives in Melrose, Mass.; and since he did so much better than any one else he is awarded a big prize--$25 in cash. The next two winners are girls. One is Anna Whitall James, of Riverton, N. J., and the other Bessie Steele, of Chicago. They did almost equally well, but not quite the same. So to the former is given $5 and the latter $3. To the other eight of the best ten--in addition to the first big prize--the offer was to divide $40 among the best ten--$1 each is awarded. Their names follow in order: De F. Porter Rudd, of Connecticut; Franklin A. Johnston, New York; Bryant K. Hussey, of Illinois; J. Lawrence Hyde, of Washington; W. Putnam, of New York; Fred P. Moore, of Massachusetts; J. Lurie, of New York; and G. Edwin Taylor, of Pennsylvania.
