PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of tho kind has ever been introduced in New Zealand, and the system that will be carried out in this and in future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a prize in any of tho Horße Consul tations, as people who have f requnntly tried in tho Numerous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as tho tickets aro applied for, or not later than 28th FEBRUARY. __ This GRAND DRAWING will consist of 160 Monoy Prizes amounting in all to £2,000, sub scribed by 1,000 members at 10s each, The various Money Prizes will be distributed as fol lows : — One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £50 prizes, five £20 prizes, one hundred i! 10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. ■ Tho Grand Principle of this and future draw ings will be that any Investor purchasing «J tickets must secure a prize, t'ti fact it guaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn from the 100 prizes to every ii numbers up to the kfiOO. Any Investor ot £1 the chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, nnd any Investor of £2 the chances will be 6 to 1 against him getting ft prize, and the Hoad Prize or any other may he drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will be oonductod on tho Fairest Principle possi blo, and Investors will find it to tboir advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in pre ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from SOO to 1 to eo.ooo to 1 against getting a prize at all. The Drawing will take placo under the Imme diate Supervision of Six Gentlemen, and Two Youths will draw tho numbers and prizes, and tho prizes will all be paid ovor within 21 hours after the drawing or immediately after the winning numbers aro forwarded, deducting thu übubl 10 per cent for working expenses. Investors should apply at once, and all In vestors only may know after the drawing who the prize-takers are by forwarding a stamped envolopo alroady addressed, thus ensuring per fect faith and fldolity to all Investors. These Drawings for £2,000 aro to take placo every Two Months; this present ono to closo on 2fth February, and the foUQWing ono to open on Ist March,
