LIFE'S GREATEST RACE.
ATTRACTIVE REWARDS GIVEN.
GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S ALLEGORY
A little allegory taken from horse-rac-ing was used by Lord Bledisloo in his address to Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon. His Excellency said everyone risked his fortunes upon n race called Lifo's Handicap, the prizes of which were a silver cup, "True Success," and a gold one, "Complete Happiness." There was a very attractive field, including such popular horses as Wealth, Endless Enjoyment, Worldly Ambition, Self-indulgence and Fashion, but the winner, which was not the favourite, was Uprightness, ridden by Character, and carrying the colours of {faith, Honour, Perseverance and Selfcontrol. No one should be ashamed to wear the sarno colours, which were bright and clear at any distance without fieldglasses, and made a very attractive blend. Above all, Character must be in the saddle to guide the horse if he was to win.
