Port Moresby, June 6.
AS a result of a well-attended meet ing on May 16, of the Aquatic Club of Port Moresby, after explanations and ideas had been brought forward by Messrs. Higgins, Fisher, and others, it was determined to race a type of dinghy known as the Pritchard design—a 12 ft. dinghy more suitable for racing in these waters than the Vaucluse Juniors, as suggested previously. The cost is ex pected not to exceed £2O.
The following officers were appointed— President, Mr. G. O. Higgins; Commo dore, Mr. D. Ewing; Hon. Secretary, Mr, W. H. Leydin; Committee, Messrs.
Fisher, Schuler, Ritchie, Willmott, and Chalmers.
Since then, a Sydney firm has quoted for 12 boats, and the Kwato Mission at Samarai have intimated their wish to tender, also.
The death occurred at Bulolo on May 20, after a short illness, of Mr. Edward Teitzel, a well-known goldfields identity.
Mr. Teitzel was first in New Guinea in 1921, in the service of the Expropriation Board, and later was an Administration official. More recently he was in the service of the Bulolo company. He served on Gallipoli with the Australian forces. He leaves a widow and three daughters.
