...Lehman. William J. Glackens, U. S. painter and illustrator, won the second prize ($1,000). His Bathers, Ile Adam, hot in color and thin in texture, is composed in a lively, anecdotal manner. Georges Dufrenoy. French conservative, won third prize ($500) for a richly colored, rather thickly painted still life of brocade, a vase, a fiddle.

...they arrived at the circus the elephants were being unloaded. They stood by and watched. Black Diamond spied them, gave Pickett a malevolent look, wrapped him in his trunk and tossed him over a box car. The nine-ton beast then smashed Mrs. Donohue to the ground, trampled the life out of her. When Pickett had been sent to the hospital, keepers held a council, wired to Circus Owner John Ringling for advice. Mr. Ringling condemned Black Diamond to death. The keepers tried to feed him poisoned oranges but he was wary. They considered drowning him. Finally they took...
