the  Judges  drawing  the  names  of  the  competitors,  and  calling  them  in  the
order  in  which  their  names  are  drawn.
Each  competitor,  when  he  has  concluded  his  sermon  or  address,  shall
immediately  retire  from  the  room  where  the  exercises  are  held,  nor  shall  he
be  allowed  to  be  present  at  any  time  while  his  fellow-contestants  are  speak-
ing. The  time  allowed  the  several  speakers  shall  be  the  same  for  all,  and
shall  be  determined  on  each  occasion  by  the  Judges.
The  Judges  shall  meet  immediately  after  the  exercises  are  ended,  and
award  the  prize.  In  case  they  decide  that  no  one  of  the  eflforts  is  of  suf-
ficient merit  to  deserve  the  prize,  then  the  interest  which  has  accrued  shall
be  added  to  the  principal,  and  go  to  enlarge  the  endowment.
