Such a chance will, no doubt, appeal to everybody with the sporting instinct, while many others who have long since come to the conclusion that they have no “luck” at all will willingly put their fortune to the test once more, in the cause of the Plunket Society. A new Home is urgently needed in Wellington, and it is gratifying to know that more, than £3OOO has already been subscribed by the citizens. This sum has enabled the Plunket Society to make the initial payments on a suitable property in Kent Terrace. Money is now wanted to complete the purchase, and for renovation and furnishing, and it is hoped that the Art Union will provide a substantial portion of the sum required. Those who wish to assist the Wellington Plunket Home Appeal can therefore do so by procuring tickets without delay. Tickets can be obtained from J. K. McKenzie, fancy goods dealer, Cuba Street and Willi’s Street, Wellington and all branches throughout New Zealand; from leading retailers, tobacconists and hairdressers; also from the Plunket Rooms, or the hon. secretary, P.O.
