DUTY ON PRIZES
SURPRISE FOR GIRL ATIILETES. Six London girl athletes representing the Women's Amateur Athletic Association, were surprised, on landing at Newhaven lately, to find that they had to pay duty on docks which they had won as prizes in France. At a women's athletic meeting at Dieppe during a week-end they had won two cups and 16 docks. The cups become the property of the Women's A.A.A., but the docks were personal prizes won by the girls. Customs officials told them that the cups were of white silver, of no value and were not dutiable, but insisted on their paying a duty ranging from 3s 4d to 13s 4d on each of their docks, i They paid under protest. The six girls won two relay races, the 1000 metres, the high jump, the 200 metres and the 80 metres.
