The holders of the winning £2OOO ticket in the “It’s Mine at Last” Art Union are Owen Matthew and R. Goddon Moor, who are both employed at a motor body works in the city. These winners of a small fortune are the shyest folk in New Zealand to-day and refused to be “cornered” for purposes of photographing or interviewing.

However Moor, who is a youth of 19 years, is already moderately well known to the public as a yachtsman. For several seasons he had been a member of the Waimakariri Sailing Club and for the past two years, sailing his own yacht Dolphin, he ha's won the Idle Along Championship of Canterbury. In 1934 he sailed in the Z Class New Zealand Championship at Dunedin.
