Poor Support For Lottery.

Apia, Oct. 2.

THE Samoan lottery, expected to pro vide funds for the improvement of the the sports grounds at Apia Park and which comprises a total of 40,000 tickets at 1/- each, with prize money to the amount of £500, seems to be a dismal failure, owing to lack of money and interest.

So far, in the last three months, only about £10 worth of tickets have been sold, and this in spite of intensive can vassing and advertising.
