A firm of that city offered a $500 piano as a special premium for the best jelly cake made by any woman living in that Congressional district. About 800 cakes were entered in the contest. The committee inspected 599 cakes and found them all made after the regulation style, something new. It was made by Mm. Sam Willett, of Springfield, and consisted of “angel's food,” with layers of jelly between the sections, This, the cdtamit. tee decided was the finest cake of the lot, and Mrs, Willett was awarded the piano, When the composition of Mr. Wiliett's cake became known there was dissatis. faction wit the decision of the commit. tee. Mr. Willetts competitors con- tended that her cake was not a jelly cake, but was simply an angel food cake. Mrs, Willett claimed the right to make her cake out of whatever material sho saw fit, so long as she used layers of jelly in it.
