NEW ARRIVAL DUPED

SYDNEY CONFIDENCE TRICK. An innocent New Zealand visitor, just landed from tlic steamer, met an entertaining stranger in Martin Place, Sydney, and, in the course of conversation, he mentioned that he had two ten pound Bank of New Zealand notes which he desired to change. The stranger.-.ohiigingly undertook to secure Australian money for the traveller and entered a building outside of which the New Zealander waited a long time, till it dawned'upon him that he had, perhaps, been too trusting. The police are now seeking the obliging stranger and the visitor's change.
