WON PRIZE OF £500.

"THE SQUABBLING TWO." •WELLINGTON INTERVIEW. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Expressing her elation at being fortunate enough to be the joint holder in the ticket which won the second prize of £500 in the '"Happy Go Lucky" art union drawn to-day, Miss Helen Lyon, who is an assistant in a hosiery shop in Manners Street, told reporters that she purchased the lucky ticket in company with a young man friend just as the two were haying a small squabble while on the way to a dance. At a loss to know what to sign on the butt, they decided on the spur of the moment to put, rather appropriately, "The Squabbling Two." Miss Lyon appeared to be too excited to consider what she was going to do witii her share of the prize, nor did she kno.v what her co-partner was going to do with his, but she said their good fortune had come at a particularly welcome time, as her friend had been out of work for some time, although he was in employment at present. Miss Lyon merely smiled when the suggestion was made that there might possibly be a recurrence of the "fortunate" squabble when the question of the disposal of the prize really arose. The young woman said she was not in the habit of buying art union ticket* regularly and thought the lucky one was about the third she had ever purchased.
