The narratives below are the efforts ■which won first, second and third prizes respectively. MEMORIES. (First, Frank Molesworth, Mt. Roskill, age 15 years.) "Somewhere South of Shanghai," near the "Silvery Rio. Grande," two "Mountain Lovers" sat "In an Old Garden," "Under the Mellow Moon" "Whispering" "Idle Words," and "Dreaming" of days of "Long, Long; Ago." Ah! "Valencia," he said, "Don't You Remember the Time" "When You and I Were Seventeen," how "All Alone" we

sat "L'nder the Deodar" on "The Bonny Banks of Loch Lomond." and waved

"The Admiral's Broom" at "Annie Laurie" as she was "C'oinin' thro' the Rye," with "Poor Old Joe" singing "Tara -ra-Booni-de-Ra v."

It was near "The Old Rustic Bridge by the Mill," amidst the "Moonlight and Roses," when we were "Whispering" "An Old Love Dream," that we saw "Bonny Mary of Argylle" being "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" by "Good King Wenseslas," as he was "Marching to Georgia" with his "Swanee Butterfly."

How "Time Flies!"' . It seems like "Yesterday" that you said you would "Remember Me no More" —I knew you were "Fooling Me." so I decided to "Peg Away" at "My Task," as "Love Will Find a Way," and as I was "Crossing the Bar" at "Dublin Bay" in "The Ship That Never Returned," "I Cried for You," my "China Girl."

"The Pilot" would not "Listen to my Tale of Woe," so "All Through the Night" I was "Listening"' to "The March of the Cameron Men" as they tramped through "The Bay of Biscay," where "The Blue Bells of Scotland" lay '.'Asleep in the Deep." "Remembrance" takes me "Back Again" to "The Lighthouse by the Sea," where "Gentle Annie" and "The Village Blacksmith" "Sentenced to Death" "Kathleen Mauverneen" for living in "Castles' in the Air," with "The Volunteer Organist" when she should have been at "The Yoeman's Wedding" in "Mandalay." It was on the "Bam, Bam, Bainy Shore" that we stood "Waiting" for "The Vicar of Bray" when he jazzed with "Clementine," and when they had "Tea for Two" he called her "Baby Face," and said he would take her with the "Red, Red Robins" in their "Tippy Canoe" to "The Better Land."

We were "Out on the Rocks" with "The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington," when "John Peel" said to that "Coal Black Mammy o' Mine," let us join "The Deathless Army," and not heed "The Gipsy's Warning," "My Sweetheart."

It was with "The. Old Folks at Home" when we were eating "Cockles and Hussies" sitting on the top of "Grandfather's Clock" that "Xelly BIy" "Put me in my Little Bed" with "Paddy McGinty's Goat," and advised me to "Always Take ; Mother's Advice," and "Don't Bring Lulu," but come "Home Again" in "The Low-backed Car," "Because" "I Owe Ten Lollars to O'Grady,"

who lives by "The Danube River" in "Dixieland." It was "In Happy Moments" in "The Springtime" that we saw "Auld Robin Gray!" What "A Little Hero" he looked, sitting in "An Old Oaken Bucket" with "The Queen of the Earth," waiting "Until" "The Cuckoo" returned "The Lost Chord."

It was "In the Gloanting" sailing down "The River of Years," that I heard you singing "Love's Old Sweet Song," "Pal o' Mine," and I "Always" knew, even if I were "Absent," "Until" "Dawn," you would still be singing "God Save the King."

(Second, Lois Randrup, Peet Avenue, Epsom, age 13 years.)

"Listen to my tale of Woe," "Life's Dream is O'er" for "Robin Adair" is dancing "The Keel Row" on "John Brown's Body," and "Mary had a little Lamb" but "The Old Folks at Home , ' threw it "Way down upon the Swannee River," so "After the Ball" they said "We'd better bide a Wee." Then "Ellie Rhee" sang "Hard times come again no More," and the "Spanish Cavalier" said "Drink to me only with thine Eyes" for "Charlie is my Darling," and "My love is like a Red, Red Rose" by "The bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond," where "Good King Wenceslas," from the "Little Brown Jug," drank "The Good Rhine Wine" and fell "Asle«p in the Deep."

"Don't you Remember the Time" "When you and I were Seventeen"? "Moonlight and Roses" with "A little love, a little Kiss" and "Tea for Two" made "A perfect Day." Wβ were "Yearning" for "The little grey home in the West," but "When Irish Eyes were Smiling" you said "Bye Bye Blackbird," so "Valencia" went to "Bonnie Dundee" by "The Lowland Sea" where "Kathleen Mavourneen" met "Barney O'Hoa" of "Killarney" singing "The Veterans' Song."

Over "The Bridge" "The Bells of St. Mary's" chimed "It's a long, long way to Tipperary" where "The Sheik of Araby" sits blowing "Bubbles." "Mister Baggy Breeches," "Coming Home," heard "Barney Google" say, "Mother Machree." "Somewhere a voice is Calling" "The Prisoner's Song," and "Peggy O'Neill" will "Sing me to Sleep," to-night. I was "On the road to Anywhere," but meeting "That Certain Party" "Last night,on the Back Porch" it "reminded me of "Home, sweet Home" and "The Ukulele Lady" singing "There's a big lot of Sunshine coming Soon," and "It ain't 'gonna rain no Mo" "Till the Sands of the Desert grow Cold," so "Marcheta" and I "Waiting at the Church" whistled "Auld Lang Syne." (Third, Allan Matthews. Counsel Terrace Mount Albert; age 14 years.) • !7£ ng ' Long A S°>" ' <In a L Jttle Spanish Town" called "Valencia," lived a girl named "Juanita. , * 6

One day she was feeling very "Lone•somo and Blue," when from "Just Around the Corner" of "The Road to Anywhere" "Barney Google" came "Joggin' Along." "Brown Kyes, Why are You Blue?" ho asked. "Oh!" "What'll I Do?" she cried. "I Want to be Happy, but I can't. "Because" "I Aint Nobody's Darling. , "Pack up Your Troubles," said Barney. We'll have "Tea For Two," and I'll take you to "The Story Book Ball." At the ball they saw "The Spanish Cavalier" and "l'eggy O'Noil" dancing '"That Naughty Waltz" while "Sittin , in a Corner" were "Mary Lou" and "The Sheik of Araby." Just as "Two Little Girls in Blue" were singing "Love's Old Sweet Song" the clock struck "Three O'clock in the Morning." "Oh!" said i "Juanita," it's been "One Wonderful Night," I'll "Always" "Remember" it. And now will you please "Show Mo The Way To Go Home?"
