Unusual Design. The cup, of unusual and attractive design, stands eighteen inches high and will remain club property , llie angler catching the heaviest Kingfish each' season will have his name engraved on the cup and will receive an attractive engraved nineinch repilca. Contender for Cup. The cup and repilca arrived bn Friday evening and on Saturday, Mr Dudley Hicks, of Cambridge, a member of the Bay of Islands Swordfish and Mako Shark club, brought in a 59-lb Kingfish, the heaviest recorded this season. Mr Hicks was fishing from the Lorna Doone off Cape Brett when he made his strike and the fish gave quite a good fighting display. The addition of this cup should give an impetus to the Kingfish sport, as this fish has the name of being the gamest of game fish. Mr and Mrs A. G. Russell, Whatitiri, are spending the school vacation in their seaside residence at Ngunguru.
