The first drawing for £2,000 and the second drawing for L 3 000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company wore.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.
