This is a dsy of all sorta of advertising ccmpetitions. One of the oddest is reported from England by the London Telegraph: A traveling circus recently paid a visit to Clitheroe, and as an attraction, offered a prlze to the man who could as the Lancastrians term it, "pull th' ugliest mug." The rules laid down were that each person shouM have "three tries.1' Competition ran high, some of the contortions beĆ­ng horrible to behold. After all had done their best, the clown, who acted as judge, coolly confronted a man sitting in the audience, who was neted for hls ugliness, and said "Tha's won th' prize, owd mon." "Me?" said the astonished individual; "wha' aw worn't tryin' for't!" "Tha'd no need to try," said the clo?,'n; "tha's won it wl'ont."
