WINDFALL FOR BLIND.
UNCLAIMED ART UNION PRIZES. Two winners of sums of £250 and £5 in art unions, who failed to collect their prizee, have unintentionally enabled the blind people of the Dominion to have the benefit of the money. This was announced by Mr. Clutha Mackenzie, director of the* Jubilee Institute for the Blind, at a social for the blind this week in Christchurch. He said the money had been made available by the Minister of Internal Affaire, who had advised that, as two art union prizes—a third and an 87th prize—had not been claimed, and as he had the power to dispose of them at his discretion to some deserving cause, he had decided to D -ive the money to the Jubilee Institute for the Blind.
