KING’S SCHOOL SPORTS

ANNUAL MEETING HELD ONE RECORD BROKEN Favoured with glorious weather conditions, and a good cluster of parents and friends, the annual sports of the King’s Preparatory School were staged on the school grounds at Remuera yesterday. Large fields of keen young athletes in the various events resulted in some interesting racing. During the afternoon one record was broken, and this was in the high jump, when A. R. Batley cleared 4ft 6£in, a great performance for a preparatory school boy. The senior championship was clinched by J. Gunn with 15 points, while the junior honours went to C.

POLITICAL CANDIDATES A correspondent addresses this advice to political candidates: “When inspiration fails you rely on D.B. When ideas are missing- and your brain is bone--1 dary—then you need D.B. D.B. is Dill’s Best Tobacco. It will cheer you, inspire you with the ripe fragrance of its slow-burning, flavoury leaf. It will make you think smoothly, talk smoothly, when you’ve enjoyed the mellow aroma, the natural tobacco taste that makes Dill’s Best so completely satisfying. How cool a smoke it is, how extra smooth.” Only the highest quality leaf goes into Dill’s Best, yet this delightful tobacco is obtainable from tobacconists for only Is lid a 2oz. tin.
