Higher Value Of Silver Raises Value Of N.Z. Rugby Union Cup
WELLINGTON, Last Night (PAI An instance of the rise in the value of silver over recent years was given by Mr S. S. Dean at a meeting of the executive of the New Zealand Olympic and British Empire Games.
Mr Dean said a recent revaluation in Sydney of the Bledisloe Cup, emblem of Rugby supremacy between Australia and New Zealand, had shown that the cup was now worth £5OO, compared with an original cost of about £l5O.
The matter of values was raised when the question was discussed of lending the Lonsdale Cup to the Auckland committee for the Games. It was stated that the cup, now worth £25, was one of 11 miniatures presented some years ago to competing nations in British Empire Games festivals.
