Many persons who from various reasons are unable to attend and invest for them selves, would much like to have the op portunity to safely invest a few pounds, for this reason the above Company was first inaugurated, the promoters of which, while thanking the public for their sup port up to the present, invite them to in vest; in this consultation, when they are sure that their (the promoters’) efforts will be duly appreciated.

Unparallelled success of these grand drawings, as they are carried out on the same principle in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. The first drawing for £2,000 and the second drawing for L 3,000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company were induced to make this third grand drawing for L 3,000 in conse quence of the great success, and also the confidence gained from the public since opening these Hamburg drawings. This third grand drawing will take place not later than the end of June, and the fourth drawing will open on the Ist July. Late applications are registered for the third drawing. Over 4000 applications for programmes are now registered for the third drawing. This third grand drawing will consist of 240 money prizes, amounting to L 3,000 subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £l5O prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £3O prizes; 10 £25 prizes; 10 £2O prizes; 10 £ls prizes ; 120 £lO prizes; 80 £5 prizes. Total amount, £3,000; 240 money prizes. The grand t-crple of these Hamburg Drawings is a purchaser of 25 pro grames is guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, aid the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a largo prize, as there are 160 large prizes against 80 bui§U ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw ing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drayn by any investor of 10s. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. The large bulk of the money in this Grand Prawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse consulta tions, but you will observe in this Ham burg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is one of the moat novel, and will be conducted on the fair est principle possible, a > as to give entire public satisfaction. This third grand drawing for £3,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

Our programme on Queen’s Birthday filled about 50 per cent, over the original issue. Each ticket has six chances, and is drawn on the principle that if a pro gramme does not fill, prizes are paid pro rata. We reserve to ourselves the right of continuing the sale of shares over ad vertised number, if necessity demands it, and thereby adding to the value of all prizes by a pro rata addition. In this in stance we shall sell until Monday, 14th July, whatever the number applied for may be, experience teaching us that “ Supplementaries ” and No 2’s are not appreciated.
