COMPETITION RESULTS.

MANY COMPETITORS FAILED TO KEEP RULES. AN OLD FAVOURITE FOR NEXT WEEK. Dear Boys and Girls, — On the whole, the work sent in for the "Word Building Letter" competition was poor. Letters consisted of a series of incoherent sentences strung together with no semblance of sense, and there were many contributions which contained only lists of words. Betty Molesworth, 0.5.8., won the first prize with-a 133-word letter. The second prize winning entry was contributed by Ida Moore, 222, Mount Albert Road, Mount Roskill, and contained only 59 words. Betty Wagner's entry was only three words shorter than Ic!a Moore's, and was awarded the third prize. Other prizes and certificates were awarded in proportion to the number of words the letters contained. It was decided to compensate those competitors who had taken a great deal of trouble to make out long lists of words as in an ordinary word building competition, by awarding thern certificates. This week's puzzle takes the form of a popular word definition competition. Each definition can • be answered with one word which f i ends in "cate."
