“OLD IRONSIDES”

£lO FOR IRVING CHESTER MODEL SHIP-BUILDING SECOND PRIZE OF £5 DIVIDED SPARE-TIME industry has brought a reward of £ls to three lads. The judge’s awards in THE SUN S "Old Ironsides’’ model ship-building competition are as follows: — First prise of £lO, Irving L. Chester, aged 15. Milford Road. Takapuna. Second prize of £5, divided between Basil Brown, aged 13, of 64, St. Stephen's Avenue, Parnell, and Ernest Senior, aged 14, of 39, Oliphant Street, Ponsonby. •

THE announcement of the competition appeared in THE SUN on April 30 and Irving Chester started to work immediately. The model took him seven weeks to complete, a fortnight's holiday from school coming at the right time. The labour of making a model spoilt the good resolutions of some boys; Others could not finish the boats in time. Though several applications for extension in time were received, the judges considered that the period could not be extended without unfairness. CHESTER’S HOBBY Model-building has been a hobby of Irving Chester’s for years. He has

made airplanes and a working model of a farm complete with machinery. The judges. Mr. C. Trevithick, architect, and Mr. G. L. Stanbrook. chief-of-staff of THE SUN, did not have much trouble in finding the winning model. Chester's ship stood out from the others in general design and excellence of detail. It was a model which might have been made by an expert tradesman. The awarding of the second prize of £5 made the judges think for some time. The ships of Ernest Senior and Basil Brown were not so perfect in detail, and the deficiencies of the one seemed to balance those of the other, so that it was decided to divide the prize between the two boys.
