Among the announcements incorporated in the programme of the Wellington Competitions Society’s forthcoming festival is a “black list” _ of items which may not lie recited during the competitions. Many well-known pieces are included in this list, the range of which varies from “Simple Simon” to “Ho Fell Among Thieves.” An interesting relic of the, war stricken city of Y pres, an iron oi e.vt bearing the "arms of the famous Belgian town, may probably be returned, after being in the possession of several Auckland bodies since the Great War. It was sent to Auckland during the war by Captain Percy Salmon, of the New Zealand Rifle .Brigade, into whose possession it has since returned. The crest originally was attached to a pillar before the door of the Town Hall in the Grand Place of Ypres.
