WESTPORT, May 9. For playing " two-up " at Denniston, Mr Rawson, S.M., -fined Geo. Millar (with a previous conviction) £10, Percy Broadhurst £3, and Alfred Croft and Jas. Melodonovitch £2. The magistrate said that the practice of playing "two-up" was becoming a very great evil throughout New Zealand,, and complaints were made to the'police from time to time by the wives of miners at Denniston tnat their, husbands wasted their money in playing " two-tip." ■ He could not see any sense in the game; it1 seemed fit only for children. He was determined to do what he could to stop the vicious practice.
