The Christchurch Free Kindergarten Association has established a small lead at this early stage of the most novel competition into which it has entered with the Wellington Association. It is racing to reach the halfway mark across Cook Strait, a distance of 8.7 miles, before its rival. The race started on February 13, and the closing date is March 31. Every penny represents two yards, and £3lO is required to cover the full distance. At this stage, the Christchurch Association has £oS lbs od, compared with Wellington’s £4O 14s Bd. It is a very worthy cause, and the association hopes that the full amount will be raised before the time limit is reached.
