Consultation- PORTING NEWS. £1 ? 000 320 CASH PRIZES, EIGHTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmesone will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout New Zealand tne pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. There is also the fact that all these Jdrawings have filled some time before the advertised date of closing, which has enabled the Com pany to pay the prizes in full. The eighth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of April, and the T'inth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of May. * This eighth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £ls prizes ; 160 £lO prizes ; 100 £5 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, aad the chances are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there are 220 _ large prizes to ICO small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 I against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be by an investor of 10a. Read this carefully.—ln Boaz’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a hoise or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against. investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to toil the public that they hare a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning largo or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with out their rvriiten consent. This Bth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

In case any Farmers have not been able to attend the trials hold, coma opinions of those who have used tho Champion are here appended. EDWARD REECE, Agent for New Zealand. Greendale, January 2,1835. Mr E. Reece, Dear Sir,—l am pleased to be able to inform you that since purchasing my Champion Cord Binder I.have cut and tied 30 acres, of grass seed, much tangled with clover and trefoil, and the machine did its work well. The relief rake and new butter are great improvements, and are indispensable for all kinds of crops. I find the machine very light draft and easily handled, well built and strong, and I think you ought to do well with the Champion,—Yours truly, G. Fidgbn. Burnside, January 3, 1885. Mr E. Reece. Dear Sir, —In reply to y»ur enquiry as to my opinion of the new Champion Cord Binder, tried on my farm during last harvest, I may say it w.'!S worked for days together in the heaviest and in all kinds of crops—viz , wheat, oats and barley—and in every case gave entire satisfaction. It is a very clean cutting machine, and leaves a clear stubble. Tho binding is equally good and reliable. It is a Very strong machine, simple in construction, easily munao'id, and thoroughly practi cable. To anyone requiring a machine, 1 consider it quite equal to any in the mar ket, and in some points superior. Yours tru’y, W. Bo'O. We, the undersigned farmers, having been present at the Exhibition of the Champion 7ord Binder as made at Mr Cherry’s Farm, Fyreton, hereby express our complete satisfaction with the efficient way the grain was handled. The numer ous improvements in the machine are moat invaluable, and contributed materi ally to the success of the trial. —(Signed) F.
