'• What's the matter with the 'blue,' Boys; what's the matter with the ' white,' Boys " was the appeal of an itinerant sh >wman on Saturday on the Pukekohe showground to sportsmen to stake their money on different colours in a game that somewhat resembled roulette except that instead of a marble rolling round a board and depositing itself in a receptacle attached to any one colour or number a dart was thrown at a board studded with streaks of various colours. According to the colour on which the dart alighted odds were paid out and the cash on tbe other colours became the property of the showman. As the public undoubtedly have sporting instincts business was greas t&til the police stopped in and made a ami of the whole gear on the plea that the game was an unlawful one. At a J.P's. Court held later in the day the arrested one, whose name was Franklin John Smith, alias " Professor Andis," alias " Pitpot Smith " pleaded guilty to conducting a game of chance and was fined £.*>. As he had evaded payment of "stand" fees he was also called on to make a contribution to the show authorities of £ 1 in that respect.
