“FORTUNE’S WHEEL.”

< LOST JOB, WON £lO9O. “MUM” SHARED. Lithgow, Saturday. “Come on, mum, let’s have a ticket, khis will probably be my last fortnight’s work for a bit, so we might as well try our luck.” ' In -those words a young son of Airs. Ethel Day, of Ferro street, Lithgow, N.S.W., greeted his mother on his return from work at the Vale of Clwydd colliery recently. ■ He had just received 14 days’ notice of dismissal, owing to shortening of hands. Mum agreed, and with the speaker and r. other son took a ticket in a consultation. ■ ■ It has won the second prize, worth a little over £lOOO. The mother intends to pay off her home, and even then there will be a substantial sum left. The foregoing item, which appeared in the Sydney Sun of July 13, is of considerable interest in view of the big Rugby Art Union now being conducted in New Zealand. Fortune’s wheel is going to turn very soon for some lucky people in New Zealand-x-and it may just as easily be you as anyone else. £2OOO is the first prize, £lOOO the second, and there are 101 prizes in all, totalling £4OOO. All prizes are in alluvial gold. Tickets at 2/0 each—book of nine for £1 —are obtainable at Tobacconists, Newsagents, and other retail shops. August 15 is the closing day; so you will have to be quick and buy your tickets. Why not to-day?*
