Ann Arbor's 22 Winners

Ann Arbor's 22 Winners

In the Great Postoffice Receipt Contest

Receipts $121,848,047

Chas. A. Dunn Came Within $103 of Having It Correct--Col. Frazier Won Ten Prizes

The total revenue of the postoffice department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, was $121,848,047.26, and the prizes in the guessing contest which excited so much interest have been awarded.

Postmaster General Henry C. Payne, in response to a telegram from the Press Publishing Co., of Detroit, asking if the figures given out by the department were correct, wired that the total revenue of the Postal Department for the fiscal year 1902 was $121,848,047.26, and it was on that total awards were made by a committee of prominent gentlemen of Detroit, consisting of Mayor William C. Maybury, Judge J. W. Donovan, of the Wayne circuit court, and Rev. Charles L. Arnold, pastor of St. Peter's Episcopal church.

There were several hundred papers who took part in this voting contest and the prizes ranged from $1 to $5,000, being 1,000 in number.

Michigan carried off 144 of the 1,000 prizes and Ann Arbor carried off 22 of the 144 prizes that went to Michigan. Ann Arbor took a great deal of interest in this contest and the Argus Ann Arbor readers fared better as guessers than did the Detroit readers of the Free Press, numbers being considered, for 22 prizes come to Ann Arbor against 32 to Detroit.

The best guesser, who gets the $5,000 prize, was a Canadian, E. Farquhar, of Toronto, whose guess was exactly correct. The second prize of $2,000 went to E. L. Franey, of Farnum, Nebraska, who was $1 out of the way. So close was the guessing and so many the number of those who guessed that no one won a prize who was more than $5,076 out of the way.

The closest Ann Arbor guess was that made by C. A. Dunn who got the 21st prize of $10, and he was within $113 of being correct. Col. T. L. Frazier came within $150 of being correct and won $10 on that guess. Col. Frazier's winnings altogether were $33, he having won on ten different guesses.
