There are rumours that a partiouarly mean sort of a swindle has been worked on some of the Christrchurob boardinghouse-keepers during the' past few days (says the Press). The mode of procedure alleged to be adopted by the perperator of the triok is to represent to proprietors of boardinghouses or others who may be willing to accommodate visitors that he is the agent for a syndicate whose objeat is to aot as a medium for bringing together thoße in search of board and lodging and those willing to supply such accommodation during Exhibition time. He asks a fee of 5s for registering the uame and address cf the person who is willing to receive the boarders, giving the address at whioh the principals of the syndicate are to be found. But on going to the place indioated, the victims of the swindle discover that the address is a bogus one. It is said that several landladies have been victimised this wa.y. NATURAL MODESTY.
