After timing in the lines on the coupon write your name and address on the same and forward to ‘The Puzzle Editor, “N.Z. Graphic,” Auckland,’ taking care to write in the corner of the envelope the words ‘Drawing Competition.’ This competition closes on June 14th. In the case of two or more persons sending the correct solution, the prize will be given to the first envelope taken at random from the heap when the sealed box containing the answers is opened on the 15th of June. NO ANSWERS WITHOUT COUPONS. SEND AS MANY COUPONS AS YOU LIKE. TO OUR COMPETITORS. As several competitors in our weekly competitions have sent us their solutions in envelopes not bearing the requisite postage stamps, we would request our readers to be very careful in this matter. We cannot be expected to pay for deficient postage on these letters; and in future will decline to accept them from the Post Office. The Geographical and the First Cricket Competition Closed. FABULOUS NUMBERS OF COUPONS. RESULTS ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK’S ‘GRAPHIC.’ The Geographical competition, and also that on the first Anglo-Austra-lian Test Match, closed on Wednesday, 31st, and the arduous work of going through the coupons in search of the correct solutions is now being proceeded with. The results will be announced in next week’s ‘Graphic,’ and some details with regard to the amazing success of these two competitions can then be given. They have caught on in a manner, far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the organisers of the scheme, and have created an interest and enthusiasm which is in the highest degree satisfactory. Competition, Ist Prize: 2nd: £5. is now open, and the attention of intending competitors is drawn to the fact that somebody must win £5, since that amount will be paid to the person who most nearly foretells the result, while anyone fortunate enough to set down the exact result will receive £2O. Another : G©znp@titi@n o is also open, and should result well. No condition as to originality has been laid down, and to select the best you ever remember to have heard and write it down is surely no very arduous matter when there is a chance of a pound and other prizes sticking out. It is understood, of course, that in the cricket competition, that the prize for the absolutely correct result will be divided if more than one competitor is correct. dalace, the premier hotel of 1 TE A ROH A.
