(By Telegr*ph-
WELLINGTON, Last Night. "Oh yeahf" said William J. Robb, of 14 Veronica street, Brooklyn, Wellington, the winner of the first prize in tho "Sporting Luck" art union drawn ixi Wellington to-night, when informed of kis good fortune. Sceptical though he svas for all his 24 years he was soor forced to acknowledge his luck when more of his friends called on him and told him the news. Mr. Robb is employed hy the Lahour Department as a driver and has held his position for the past six months. Et was purely by chance that he bought a ticket in the art union though he could give no reason for doing so othei than saying he thought he would "give it a shot." He said to-night that he had not participated in any art union for about the last two months. "I don't seem to have woken up yet," he said. "When I do I-'ll probably know what I'm going to do with the money. Anyway I'm going to carry on just the same as I'm doing now."
