Given suitable weather conditions, some keen racing will be witnessed. The Melanesian Mission ship Southern Cross has kindly been placed at the disposal of the club as a flagship by Captain H. Burgess. Launches will leave the jetty at St. Mary’s Bay for the flagship at frequent intervals. Afternoon tea will be provided.

THE EDGEWORTH CLUB t r! bers, but not at all surprising to “those n in the know" how the members of the - Edgeworth Club take such a keen 3 genial interest in one another’s experi- " ences with their favourite tobacco, r Edgeworth is a. tobacco that is genuinely appreciated by its devotees, and. - the average man after properly samp1, ling it and securing full club member - a ship becomes very rapidly an ardent 9 booster. “Us chaps, who smoke Edge- ? worth” has in a short space of time 6 become the pass-key to opening the e door to friendship among many admir- .: ers of the fragrant leaf. Any tobacco■l nist throughout New Zealand will ac- »- cept nominations to the Edgewortn 8 Club, or, if you like, you can writ© ** direct for full particulars to Barlow e Bros.. Chirstchurch, the New Zealand o distributors of Edgeworth Tobacco. S
