EDIFYING !
Readers will learn with delight tfcat a firea^ bun-eating contest, for boys, has been 'decided at' Melbourne. The buns— large And rich fruit ' cakes— floaited m tubs filled with hot treacle. The competitors ate m Eats— six m each Eat. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and at the woird Go, they plunged their "faces into the molasses and began to chew. This ennobjing and soul-inspiring contest was won by a lean youth— the holder of the scone-devouring championship— in lmin 7sec. by __ mouthful from O'Grady, with Hogg, who did his best to live up to his name, m third place. Willis is, therefore, the champion eater of both cakes and scones. No , coi** test- of similar character and importance has taken place since the por-ridge-eating contest was decided at Sydney m the year of the Great Exhibition. -
