And is he going, now lie’s won £3,000? “I am,” he says—“later on.” Excitement and jubilation reigned at Goondooloo, "Wattle Street, Punchbowl, when the news came that he had won the first prize, a gold helmet valued at £3,000. At present Holland, who is a compositor, will remain at his job. Will Invest Money “1 haven’t decided exactly what l will do with the money yet,” he told the “Sydney Guardian.” “I am too excited to realise it is true.
