Sre_LinG ConTESsST.—The contest for the gold medal offered by Mr. Rhees for the best speller in the intermediate schools took place on Wed yesday. Five pupils trom each of the eleven schoele were examined by the committee— Messrs. Khees, Wilson, Olark and Whyte—and ene hundred words were given out to be spelled. The following pupils each missed only four words, the least number, viz: Kate 7. Brown, Second District; Inez Goodrich, Third District; Amanda Sailer and Emma Swallow, First District. Another trial between these four girls took place this morning at Ju- diciary Square. In the first trial of fifty words, Emma Swal- low and Inez Goodrich had no mistakes, and tbe other two made three each, and they re. tired. Asecond fifty words was given, and each made one mistake. A third trial with the same number of words was given, and esch made twomistakes. At this juncture the committee concluded that the Rhees medal should be given to Miss Goodrich, of the third district, and that they would also awara a medal to Mise Swallow—it being impossible to decide who was the best speller. The following is @ list of those who had no more than ten words wrong :—Laura V.

Barclay, 3d, 9: Susie Collins, 2d, 10; Chas. Barrick, 3d, 10: Mary Kelly, 34,10. Of the 55 pupils, 19 had between 10 and 20 errors, 10 between 20 and 30,4 between 3) and 40, 3 between 40 and 50, and one boy had 54 words, ‘and another boy 71 words spelled incorrectly. ‘The latter were certainly poor representatives of the best “fives.” The number of errors trom each school and the averages are as fol- jJows :—First District—Male Intermediate, 201 errors, 40.2 average; Female Intermediate No. 1, 35 errors.7 average; Female Intermediate No. 2, 65 errors, 13 average.
