Gifts of | diamond solitaire rings, wrist watches and other articles of jewel- | ry will be awarded the remaining contestants. A concerted movement is on foot by members of the local council| whereby at least thrce repr: nta- | tives of each troop of Boy Scouts of | the city will compete in the indus- trious boy contest.

New Britain Musicians Vote on Big Prize When famed judges of jazz or- echestra music join to pick the first | and second prizes following a na- tionwide composition competition they know what they are about in dispensing the money, namecly $15,.- 000 for the first prize, and $10,000 for the second. But the public may not agree. This happened in New Britain last night when the musle-wise membership of the New Britain Musical club, after hearing both the first and second | prize compositions played upon a phonograph record, voted 17 to 2 that the second prize-winner was the best, The compositions were “American Sketehes,” by Grisselle, which cap- tured the first prize, and “On the Bayou” by Sol Bloom, which cap- | tured the second. 1 The Musical club voted nearly unanimously that the Tin Pan alley composer produced a better composi- tion than the more erudite first prize winner, despite the fact that the $15.000 prize winner had the more elaborate work.
