MAIL NOTICES.

NEW PLYMOUTH. SATURDAY, JULY *. For United Kingdom and Europe, via Monte Video and Tenerlffe (to connect with Matatua at Wellington), at 6.15 a.m. H. BREE, Chief Postmaster. £55 FOR PUT AND TAKE AN EASY COMPETITION. A capital way of spending the long winter evenings now comes the way of the good people of New Plymouth. For many months past the citizens of the progressive city of Wanganui have been enthusiastically indulging in local Put and Take competitions to their heart’s content, and now the opportunity is to be afforded other parts of the Dominion to try their skill in this fascinating pastime. Take the phrase given in the advertisement on another page: “How Can I Do Good?” All the competitor has do is to express in five wqrds, no more no less, his or her idea of what they would do to do good. Such for example, as “Find work for the unemployed,” <r Make all the poor happy.” There are hundreds, thousands of answers better than these to “How Can I Do Good.” When the competitor has written the answer or answers down, all that remains to be done is to enclose the entrance fee (Is for one try, 2s 6d for three, and 5s for seven tries) and post same as soon as possible to the Secretary, Great Skill Contest, Box 377, Wanganui, on or before Monday, July 17. The sooner the better. The prize money totals £55, the writer of the most original and cleverest phrase, in the opinion of the judges, to receive the handsome first prize of £4O. Make an attempt right away. It is the simplest competition imaginable, even a school child could write a smart answer to “How Can I Do Good?” Put and Take competitions are going to be popular in this city.
