RESULT OF FIRST CRYPTOGRAPH

COMPETITION.

The Cryptograph Competition, which closed last week, attracted an enormous number of competitors. Being uncertain as to whether the style of Uiis competition would be generally appreciated and understood, we purposely made the cryptograph an extremely easy one. The result has shown us, not only that cryptographs prove a very attractive form of mental exercise amongst our readers, but that we need not necessarily choose such very familiar quotations as,, “Tell me not in mournifu! numbers, Life is but an empty dream,” from Longfellow's “Psalm of Life,” for our object. This, as hundreds of our compethitors rightly conjectured, was the correct solution of the cryptograph set. All the hundreds of answers sent in being correct it became our duty to select

the first four. Title coupons were rolled into balls, the lot were well mixed, and the following four were then taken from the box: —

MISS PHYLLIS KEELING, Broad Street, Palmerston North.

MR JACK BRIGGS, Newton, Auckland.

MR F. H. ROACH, Porangahau, Hawke’s Bay.

E. A. CLAYTON,

Harbour View, The Terrace, WeUington.

Postal Orders for the amount of the prizes have been forwarded to the fortunate winners.

A new competition on the same lines announced on the second page of the cover.
