Oonsaltatton. . NEWS. £I,OOO 320 CASH PRIZES. TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING 18 NOW OPEN.



To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great these drawings have ob tained, the promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultatxonists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to dc their utmost to try and injure the promoters of the Ham burg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and fa vo abhftknown with the public all through New Zealand. ... .. . The largo number of applications that came in too'late will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money wQI bo returned. The tenth grand drawing for L4,0G0 will close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. • The tenth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting ,to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. fhe various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows I £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £6O. prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 16 £26 prizes; .16 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratia. , - The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are In favor of the Investor draw ing a large prize, as there are b2O large prizes to 100 small ones. To an Inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 •gainst tiliii drawing a • prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an Investor of 10s. Read this.-In Bose’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 1(* imwlng a prize. But carefully note the mormons odds against investors drawing k hoise or - cash prize in any of the borse consultations. The marbles we replaced for each drawing of the jsah crises, which gives the enormous >dds against investors. This Company rould simply ask investors to calculate h© odds before placing their investments w any horse consultations; and this Com jany would not presume to tell the public bat they have a number of chances and nay win a number of prizes for a single in restment of 10s. Not&—Prize winners whether winning arge or small prizes are informed that heir names will not be made public with out -their- written consent. This tenthgrand drawing tor £4,000 will take place under the aupetvision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
