“WHEELBARROW DERBY.”
A WANGANUI PROJECT. WANGANUI, June 24. In order to assist the youths’ afforestation camp fund, a “Wheelbarrow Derby” is being arranged by Mr D. Dustin, president of the Wanganui and District Development League, and Mr Ross Meikle, manager of the Regent Theatre, Wanganui. Both gentlemen formerly resided in Palmerston North. The event is at present scheduled for July 10. and the suggestion is that Mr Meikle will emulate the performance of the Australian who during the week-end completed his endurance test. The Regent Theatre manager is to have Mr Fry, well known in Savage Club circles, as his passenger, while Mr Dustin is to start off with a wheelbarrow full of small trees, which he will sell on tlie route from the Post Office to the Regent Theatre. Money will he collected while the race is in progress.
