Rather than award the prizes on a neatness and age basis, tho final judges on the "Auckland Star" decided to arrange a further series of twenty animals' bodies and heads, which will be sent to the children whose names are given above, and who alone are eligible ior t'ao further —and harder—test. They will wake out their lists and i'onvar.l them to the "Auckland Star" by midday on Wednesday, sth January. The competition envelopes will then be opened, and the first prize-winners in the various centres will be the competitors with the correct or nearest to correct solution, and the other prizes will be awarded in order of merit. The results of this. final contest will be published in the " Auckland Star," Wellington "Post," and Christchurch "Star" on Thursday, 6th January. When the winners are published the second collection of animals which the competitors had to assort will be published for, the unsuccessful entrants to try, and a week later the solutions will be given, also for their benefit.

As another wireless set has been donated in Auckland, the set originally advertised as the reward of the winner of the North Island will now be given to a Wellington boy or girl.
