Consultation. N E Wa. £ 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 t. tained throughout New Zealand the pro i. moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company ban, a laige qumber of Horse Consnltationists (abo t thirty) to contend against, some of wu m under fictitious names have, jbeen meho enough to dc their utmost toinjurethe anmoterspf the Ham burg Company, thepronnot dp so, as this Company is 100 wey establish ed and fa- Vo.ably known withll espublic all through 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"th Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of J lily. 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 ; I £3OO prize; X £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £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 26 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-, mg a large prize, as there are 220 large' prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor 3f £2 the chances 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.— Jn Boaz’a Grand Ham- I burg 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 ot the cash prizes, which gives the enormous i odds against investors. This Company i would simply ask investors to calculate i the odds before placing their investments i in any horse consultations; and this Com- i pany would not presume to tell the public i that they have a number of chances and I may win a number of prizes for a single in- i vestment of 10a. _ , > Note. —Prize winners whether winning, large or small prizes are informed that j their napes will not be made public with- i out their written consent. i This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com- I mittee of eight subscribers, aud the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after I the drawing.
