Consultation. gpuJt Ti W U N Jfl W fci. £4,u00 320 CASH PRIZES. NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout New Zealand the pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consnltatiomsts (abot thirty) to contend .gainst, some of warn under fictitious names have been meho enough to dc their utmost toin jure the anmotersof the Ham burg Company, thepronnot do so, as this Company is too wey establish ed and fa vo abiy known withll espublio all through i New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the : ninth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. The ninth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close- the end of June, and the te n th Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of J uly. This ninth 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 £BOO prize; I £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 16 £25 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes ; 100 £6 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 L2O large prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chanties are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read this.—ln Boaz’s Grand Ham burg 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 hoisa or cash prize in any of the bone 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 tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. ' Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with out their written consent.



This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes wfll be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. .Nonce—Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange.
