THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



April 



The General of the Army, the General 

 commanding the U. 8. ('orps of Engineers, 

 Vice Pres. Webb cf the New York Central, 

 and John Jacob Aster, compose the Cosmo- 

 politan Magazine's l^oard of Judges to de- 

 cide the merits of the Horseless < arriage 

 which will be entered in the May trials, for 

 which the CosmopdJitan offers I^OOO in priz- 

 es. This committee ig undoubtedly the most 

 distinguished that has ever consented to act 

 upon the occasion of a trial of a new and 

 useful invention. The interest whicli these 

 gentlemen have shown in accepting places 

 upon the committee is indicative of the im- 

 portance of the subject, and that the contest 

 itself will be watched with marked interest 

 on both sides of the Atlantic.
