Then he shook the - entire mixture thoroughly, after which he strained It off Into a small glass, deftly Inserted a I lice of pineapple and told the writer 3 "see If you like it." "I won this trophy through inventing invent-ing that drink four years ago." said the man behind the apron, whose name is . - ' ' . ; ' Peter Slndar. The trophy . referred to is Just about the site of one. of the "links' in the diamond studded telt or "dog collar" Richard J. Fox presented to Champion John L. Sullivan a score of years ago. It recites In bold German Ger-man text that Mr. Slndar is the winner of the $50 prise offered by the Police Gasette In 1901. o the bartender who invented the best ' drink. . There were between 6000 and 6000 aspirants for the honor which fell o the Salt Lake, boy. At the time Slndar was living In St. Paul. Minn., but he had already been in Salt Lake, and. had run a place in Bingham canyon. He was born In Chicago Chi-cago in 1874 and learned the art of mixing mix-ing drinks there and In St Paul and other metropolitan cities. ";'.

His adeptness at this amounts almost to an acrobatic stunt. The fl he 'Invented is known to every Elk in the country, and he ascribes as-cribes his success in capturing the prise, or "trophy." to the popularity given the drink by the Elks, who at the time were celebrating with a big convention and -meetings all over the country. The color of the Elks are white and purple; the port-ine used In the drink exactly simulates the shade of the Elks purple, the Ice water and the rye whisky, are a replica of the Elks white. The color, the exquisite taste and the vogue given the new drink by the Elks helped young Slndar to win the trophy, and Jtor. a. while he was in great demand In the fashionable drink emporiums of the East where mixed drinks are the vogue. But the lust for the West the "call of the wild" and woolly had inoculated him, and there . was no rest till he again landed In Zlon. Here he and a brother have established themselves, but It Is seldom they are called on to mix a fancy drink. ' t . .
