Consultation. NEWS. £ 1,000 — 320 CASH PRIZES SEVENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratia. - The six previous drawings were filled, and applications that came too late will be registered in the seventh drawing. The seventh grand drawing for L 4,000 will 'close the end of February, and the eighth Hamburg drawing will open on f Via 1 of \fflrOll. This seventh 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 £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 gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grames is guaranteed a prize, &ad the chances are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may bo drawn by any investor of 10s. Bead this carefully.—ln Boaz’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 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 tell the public that they have a number of chances and can 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 course will be pursued in consequence of the company having received many letters at various times from prize winners, particu larly requesting the company not on any account to make their names public. This 7th grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. Notick—Country cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange. Post-office orders preferred, made payable only to Boaz. Bank notes accepted.

I find the machine very light draft and easily handled, well built and strong, and 1 think you ought to do well with the Champion.—Yours truly, G. Ridgen.

Burnside, January 3, 1885. Mb E. Reece. Dear Sir, —In reply to your enquiry as to my opinion of the new Champion Cord Binder, tried on my farm during last harvest, I may say it was 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. The binding is equally good and reliable. It is a very strong machine, simple in construction, easily managed, and thoroughly practi cable. To aoyone requiring a machine, 1 consider it quite equal to any in the mar ket, and in some points superior. Yours truly, W. Boao. We, the undersigned farmers, having been present at the Exhibition of the Champion 7ord Binder as made at Mr Cherry’s Farm, Eyreton, hereby express our complete satisfaction with the efficient way the grain was handled. The numer ous improvements in the machine are most invaluable, and contributed materi ally to the success of the trial.—(Signed) P.
