AIM ORANGE LOTTERY
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—At a city fruit market on a recent morning the auctioneer had 80 cases of Jamaican oranges to 'be disposed of at a fixed-price. There were 120 buyers, and so that everyone should have a fair chance an orange art union was conducted. There were 80 prizes, each consisting of a piece of paper with the number of oranges in a case also 40 blanks. The buyers formed up in a queue and each buyer as he passed the office window was given a pieca of paper which represented a case of oranges' at 32s 6d or else he received a blank. Then the winners gave the storeman their pieces of paper and he put their numbers on the cases They paid for the oranges and went home, happy at having won a prize in the Jamaican orange art union, i hope Mr. Sullivan will not say we did not tell him there is a shortage of oranges.-I am, etc^ KIZE . WINNER .
