["By Telegraph, Per Press Association., WELLINGTON; December 22. The first twenty prizes in the Lucky Star Art Union, to benefit the AVanganui and Taranaki Aero Clubs, were drawn as follows: First Prize, £2OOO : -8.82,820, Mr J. Fisher, 106, Glandovey Boad, Fendalton, Christchurch. Second Prize, £300:—8.35,036, R. Craig, Junr., Geraldine, South Canterbury. Third Prize, £250: —8.30,076, Jenny Linds, Invercargill. THE LUCKY WINNER. CHRISTCHURCH, December 23. A generous impulse was responsible for J. Fisher of Glandovey Road, Fendalton, winning the first prize of £2OOO in the Lucky Star Art Union. He was in Auckland on a holiday, and when outside the Post Office, his attention was arrested by the appearance of an art union ticket seller. The man, he thought, looked needy. “I’ll buy a ticket from this man, it may neip him,” was Fisher’s mental comment. Nothing was further from his mind at the time than any expectation of drawing the prize. By the time he returned home Fisher was a sick man and he is still under medical attention. He is 60 years of age, a labourer employed on the tramways. The prize could scarcely have gone where it was badly needed.
