Auckland Man Wins
(NZ. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct. 20 An Auckland University lecturer, Mr C. K. Stead, has won both sections of the 1961 Katherine Mansfield Memorial Award—-the published short story and the essay, published or unpublished.

The story, “A Race Apart," was started in England and finished in New Zealand. It appeared first in “Landfall" and was subsequently published in a book of short stories in London. The winning essay was given first as one of the 1960 winter lecture series in the University of Auckland. One of seven, it is entitled “The Effects of Remoteness on New Zealand Literature.”
