AXEMAN’S CARNIVAL
DOMINION SOLDIERS COMPETE IN BRITAIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright ) (Received This Day, 12.3 op.m.) LONDON, August 31. The English newspapers give prominence to the Dominions’ axemen’s carnival. “The Times” says: “For the joy < f swinging the axe and cutting through fourteen inches of sturdy timber, New Zealanders and Australians willingly travelled many miles to the carnival,” and added; “Left-handedness was no bar to skill. An Aucklander, Sapper R. Grundy, a former Auckland champion, who scored two firsts, one second and one third, and Australia’s leading soldier axeman, Sapper H. Malkin, of Melbourne, who won the tree-felling event, are both left-handers.”
