‘ Notabene,’ ‘Novice/ ‘ Blenheim,’ • Francais,’ 9 ; ‘ Dorie,’ ‘Eclair,’ ‘Sphinx,’ ‘Kate,’ 8A; ‘ Ere ma,’ 8; ‘Rupee,’ ‘ Scotty,' 7|; ‘ Leslie,’ ‘ The Digger,’ 6£. Correct solutions to the whole of the puzzles were forwarded this week by four competitors. We have awarded the prize to Miss Phyllis C. Baker, of Grafton Road, Auckland, who correctly supplied the whole of the lights to the double acrostic, * Blenheim ’ and ‘ Francais,’ giving Apennines in place of Alps, and her solutions reaching us in advance of those of ‘ Novice,’ who was otherwise equally successful. Owing to the misprint of close for closely in this puzzle, we have accepted the word near in every case. ‘ Kate ’ receives a mark for her answer to the conundrum : ‘ A labourer, because he would get hire every day.’ Monthly Prize.—Our first monthly prize goes to D. Stewart, care of Burns and Co., Customs*street, who secured 29£ marks out of a possible 43. We have forwarded Mr Stewart a postal note for £l.
