The large number of applications (ovei 900) that came too late will be duly regia tered for this Fourth Drawing. This fourth grand drawing will consisl of 240 money prizes, amounting to L 3,00( subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will bo dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £l5O prize; 1 £IOO i prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £3O prizes; 10 £25 prizes; 10 £2O prizes; 10 £ls prizes j 120 £lO prizes ;80 £5 prizes. Total ’ amount, £3,000; 240 money prizes. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that 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, wad the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes to 80 small 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 drasrn 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 Drawing 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 most novel, and will be conducted on the fair est principle possible, so as to give entire publiQrSatisf action.
