Brand The Claim As False

Chicago, 111. - One of the odd results of the World's Fair is the claim now made to awards by some who were not even exhibitors. Officials of the Exposition have not as yet taken final action in the matter, believing the quick wit of the people will detect the spurious claims. But to the case of a New York baking powder, that has been widely advertising an award, the attention of the Chief of Awards for Agriculture has been directed. He brands the claim of this pretender as false, declaring "Neither the records of this department, nor the official catalogue of the World's Columbian Exposition, show that this New York company was an exhibitor; consequently it could not receive an award at the World's Fair." Those who fairly won their honors at the Fair seem disposed to treat this fraud as any other fraud should be treated. The Price Baking Powder Company, of Chicago, having received the highest award, say they are convinced their claims, and those of all other holders of rightful honors, will be fully vindicated by the public.
