Unparallelled success of these grand drawings, as they are carried out on the Fame principle in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. The first drawim? 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.

Total amount, £3,000; 240 money prizes. The nciple of these Hamburg Drawings is a purchaser of 25 pro gramea 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 af the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes against 80 small ones. To any investos of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw ing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be dravn by any investor of 10s. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number Af onnaa nnrl non • win o tiitmltAV q| of chances and can* win a number prizes for a single investment of 10s. The large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is apt given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse consulta tions, but you, will observe in this Ham btng Drawing that the £3,000 is* fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize.
