The winner of the £2OOO prize in the “Luck at Last’’ Art Union is Mr Fred Hart, a farm labourer, of Hawera, who is a returned soldier, aged 30. He is understood to be single. A report, current yesterday morning that he intended to leave by train for Wellington, was sufficient to attract to the Hawera station a number of salesmen prepared to sell the lucky man all sorts of things. They were disappointed when he failed to appear—he left by car, having anticipated such a reception. The winning ticket was purchased in Palmerston North, Mr Hart using the nom de plume, “Passing Through,’’ as he was travelling from Napier to Hawera.

Eating, 4.1. s most people know, certainly does ,kend to raise the spirits and induce /one to take a. more cheorful view of things, especially if the meal is followed by a good smoke. But your-tobac-co must be the “real Mackay’’—New Zealand for preference. There’s no tobacco like it, and you have the choice of four brands. If you like a medium strength baccy fill up with Cavendish (the sporting. mixture), or Navy Cut blend); if you prefer something stronger there’s Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —the veteran smoker’s favourite. They are all good (not forgetting Riverhead Gold a delicious aromatic), and, what is more, they are all harmless; there’s next to no nicotine in any of them. How’s that? —because they are toasted! Our word for it, there’s no better dispeller of the blues than a pipe of these toasted tobaccos. —356*'
