The three previous drawings were filler a week prior to the advertised date o closing. The Public of New Zealand have appre •rated these Grand Hamburg Drawings, therefore the Company anticipate having their Fifth Drawing on a larger scale. This Fourth Grand Drawing for L3,00C will close about the end of August, and the Fifth Drawing will open on the ls( September. The large number of applications (ovei 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 L3,00C 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 prir-ciple 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, aid the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 largo prizes to 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw* ing a prize, aud the head prize or any other may be dra vn 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 10a. 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 Drawings 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.
