The latest method of raising the wind adopted by the Guild was by way of an Art Union. For months past the memebrs have been actively disposing of tickets, upwards of 1700 being sold. The drawing took place at the Opera House last night, and caused no little interest. The drawing was done in the presence of Detective McLeod, Mr J. Townley superintending in the absence of the Mayor (Mr J. R- Kirk), who was absent on the Coast. A lad was called up from the audience, and drew the following lucky numbers from the box for the four handsome works of art which were given as prises : - - No. 1123, A. MrPhail, 114 Grey Street. No. 192, Nurse McMahon, Vautier Street, Napier. No. 479, Mrs H. White, Ormond Road. No. 1009, Alfred Wynn, Matawai. It was announced that winners could secure their prizes on applying to Mr J. H. Martin, of the Gisborne Hotel. . A , Mrs A. Scott and Mrs Martin acted as joint hon. secretaries of the art union, and carried out their duties well.
