The three previous drawings were filled a week prior to the advertised date of closing. The Public of New Zealand have appre ciated these Grand Hamburg Drawings, therefore the Company anticipate having their Fifth Drawing on a larger scale. This Fourth Grand Drawing for L 3,000 will close about the end of August, and the Fifth Drawing will open on the Ist September. The large number of applications (over 900) that came too late will be duly regis tered for this Fourth Drawing. This fourth 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 £l6O 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 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, aad 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 draffn 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 ia in the horse consulta tions, but you will observe in this JUam burg Drawing that the £3,000 us 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, a > as to give entire public satisfaction. This fourth granddrawing for £3,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
