The ballot box will be sealed at noon to morrow, and will not be opened again until the judges take charge on the night of closing.' Contestants in outside dis tricts should be veiy careful to send in their votes and subscriptions in plenty of time for them to arrive at the Contest Department before the closing hour, as no votes will be issued after that time.
