Commercial Travellers’ Appeal ART UNION DRAWN Through the street appeal, art union and joy night at the Town Hall, conducted recently by the Wellington Commercial Travellers’ and Warehousemen’s Association, it is estimated that approximately £7OO will be available next week for the purpose of assisting in the purchase of Christmas presents for children in the hospitals, homes, and orphanages in Wellington and the Hutt Valley. In making this result known yesterday the secretary, Mr. R. E. Selby, said that all donations had not yet come to hand, but that the final amount was not likely to differ very much from the figure he had given. The balance-sheet would be published in the near future. The art union for three Nugent Welch pictures, held in connection with the appeal, was drawn at the club yesterday by the president, Mr. A. Jacobs. The' first prize went to ticket No. 13200. which had no name on the butt; the second prize to. ticket No. 3097, held by Mr. Greening, of the Gear Meat Company, Petone; and the third prize to ticket No. 8716, which again had no name on the butt.
