(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARCULL, Monday. The winner of the first prize in the Aviation Art Union is Mr Douglas Scandrett, a well-known land and commission agent who purchased two tickets. Mr Scandrett stated that the purchase was amost accidental. He had passed a ticket seller every day, and heard him shouting about his wares, but had no intention of buying one. One morning as he passed the seller on the street it occurred to him that he had two half-crowns in his pocket, and he invested them in two tickets.
