WINNER OF £2OOO PRIZE
MRS. P. BROPHY, PUNGAREHU. Go modest about it that she would not be persuaded to speak to a reporter over the telephone, Airs. Patrick Brophy, Alain Road, Piuigarchu, was discovered as the winner of the ££ooo first prize in the Golden Chance Art Union drawn at Wellington. This was Airs. Brophyks first prizewinning in an art union, and, naturally, she was pleased, in a calm, moderate way. Her husband, who is chairman of directors of the Pungarohu Cuopcihtivc Dairy Company, told a reporter that the use of the pen name “Australia” was just a sudden inspiration on the part of Airs. Brophy. It did not even mean that she intended to take a trip to Australia, he said. The ticket had been purchased from Aliss G. Williams at Now Plymouth some time ago.
