Last week's competition was much too easy for you. I received so many entries that I found it very hard to decide who should have the prizes. There was mistake two or three of you made: No. 3 was "milk" and not "klim" as some of you said. Another thing you forgol was that I said neatness and writing would be taken into account when judging the winners.
The prize-winners this week are: Senior: Edwardo Silva (aged 11) 6 Salisbury Avenue, Kowloon.
Intermediate: Dorothy Dawson (aged 9) 1 Tak Shing Street, Kowloon,
Junior: Francis Ozorio (aged 6) 3 Albion Terrace. Coupons have been sent to Edwardo, Dorothy and Francis. I want you to bring these coupons to the Hongkong Telegraph offices in Wyndham Street, where they will be exchanged for money prizes.

hurriedly concocted this story: that he had read the news of his crime at Dalsbury and had then come rushing up to town. Pinyfair had at once realised that this was impossible; the edition of the "Banner" which contained the story of Minnie's murder could not have reached Dalsbury in time.
