Under A Spell​

The students at an English county school are excited that one of their own, a humble stableboy, has reached the finals of the county spelling bee. One by one the contestants drop out until only two remain, the stableboy and the daughter of the wealthy mayor. Everyone waits eagerly for the word to be announced?
"How do you spell auspices"
The stableboy lost.

My only guess is the stable boy spelt ... whores price?
