For Suva

IT is not expected now that the international 18-ft. yacht con test will be held in Suva in 1952 as was suggested some time ago in Sydney.

The Suva Yacht Club asked the Fiji Government for a grant of £l,OOO to help meet the expenses of the event but the Government declined on the ground of “un warranted expenditure.”

The contest will probably now be held in Auckland, A Queensland Rugby football team may tour in Fiji in 1952.
