WATERBURY CONUNDRUMS.

In reply to our advertisement calling for Conundrums, Acrostics, &c., for our Golden Waterbury Competition, we received some hundreds of communications, all possessing more or less merit—chiefly less. In weeding out- the latter we purpose giving each contributor a meed of publicity, and having thus disposed of the least meritorious we shall publish a score of the best in the chief newspapers of the colony, and invite the public to nominate the winning* Conundrum by a post card ballot* Dae notice will be given, and the prize sent to and acknowledged by the author selected by the public A. W., leather merchant, Auckland, sends us:— " Why is a Waterbury Watch like the sun?" Answer; "Because it keeps the best of time." " A neat answer, and in nowise discreditable to the watch or the sun. There are half-a dozen other points of resemblance which our contributor overlooks. Both are universal, both in the ascendant, neither ever sets, both are Indispensable, both reliable, both supreme in their respective orbits. The sun is the centre of the solar system, lesser planets revolving round ifc, Just as other watches revolve round the Waterbury. 3
