LORETTA NAGEL IS NOW SECOND

Has For Some Time Been Gaining Consistently IN DEMOCRAT’S PIANO RACE ♦ Has Leadership Almost Within Her Grasp—Has Not Had Any Spurt Since Contest Commenced. One of the candidates in The Democrat’s'piano race who has not at any time had a spurt: one of those who have been content to come along steadily until the present, is now in second place —Loretta Nagel. The various methods employed in a race of this kind; the different tactics pursued; the numerous characteristics that are brought to light are a constantly changing series of views on the many phases of human nature. One candidate will work with a rush, another plod along steadily; one will 'become temporarily discouraged, then work twice as hard to make up lost time, while another will accept her fortune whether good or bad with the stoicisf and fatality of the Indian. To the disinterested onlooker, who is at all observant, this piano contest can not fail to be of interest, if for no other reason than the different types of humanity pictured. Miss Nagel has come to the front slowly but surely. Not with a rush, but patiently and persistentry striving tor the success which comes to those who work /hard enough.
