The youngster who was seen crying in a Greymouth street the other day because he had “lost his bus fare,” is evidently a child of infinite resources (relates the Grey Star). His first stunt was spoiled when it was discovered that he had collected about five shillings from sympathisers, to replace the “lost” bus fare, but he has now struck out on a new course, which consists of a plaintive request to passers-by for a “thrummer,” to be allegedly used in gaining admittance to the competitions. It is not known how many persons have been "bitten.’’
