It nay be taken for granted that Woods' Great .•_i>p_u*_int Clu_ Competition will attract Versifiers galore all over Australasia. : That it is .a novelty goes without saying. There is no entrance fee. All the competi- , tor is asked to do is to send in six verses, each containing eight lines — two to be on subjects of purely Austi-alasian intei'est; two humoious or topicLl, as the fancy strikes one ; and two dealing with any subject which the aspirant for fame may select. But it is indispensable that each verse shall em; iody in it a reference to Woods' Great Pei'I'ERMINT Ci:re, a household remedy which has long since collared the market owing to its inti'insic merits. The prizes are respectively £20, £10, and £o, which should be sufficient to enlist the interest of those who wish to secure the position of Poet Laureate to the Proprietors of Wood's Great Pepperaiint Cure. The judging will be by a Committee of gentlement prominent in educational questions. For further particulars we would draw attention to our advertising columns.
