“TWO-UP” SCHOOL.
Police Officers Pay a Visit. COURT CASE TO FOLLOW. (Special to the “ Star.”) WANGANUI, December 21. As far as “ two-up ” schools are concerned very few have been known to exist in Wanganui since the famous raid at Castlecliff about thirteen years ago, when Constables Hollis and Wainhouse by night constructed a dug-out on the fringe of “ the two-up ” playing area and photographed the players. Senior-Sergeant M’Lean, Sergeant Dunsford and Detective Murray were therefore surprised to receive information that “two-up’’.was being played on the riverbank every Saturday afternoon within, a few hundred yards of the police station. The police walked right up to the school before being seen, but it was a hard up affair with only 2s in the ring and the players backing in threepences. The whole outfit could not muster up more than a pound in silver. There will be court proceedings tomorrow.
