Mon, Yon’s Dear Whisky! Bottle Brings £B4
By contributing over £BO for a bottle of whisky, pipers now visiting Dunedin have done a deal to explode the theory that Scotsmen are always canny in matters financial. While travelling South in the train on Thursday, members of the pipe bands coming to compete in the national championships were invited to take a chance in a raffle for a bottle of the national drink. Not much persuasion was required by the man conducting the raffle, also a piper, to collect two shillings each from the kilted travellers. His return from the transaction was almost too handsome—it was 384.
