Sporting. SPORTING NEWS!-GRAND DIS TRIBUTION OF MONEY PRIZES will take placo similar to the Hamburg principle ol drawings; nothing of the kind has ever been in traduced in New Zealand, and the system that will be carried out in this and in future draw ings will far surpass the chances of getting, a prize in any of the Horse Consultations, as people who havo frequently tried in tho Nume rous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince tho most • sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon , as the tickets are opplied for, or not later than 28th February. This GRAND DRAWING will consist of 160 Money Prizes amounting in all to £2,000, subscribed by 4,000 members at 10s each, The various Money Prizes will be distributed us follows:-Ono £300 prize, ono £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £50 prizes, flvo £20 prizes, one hundred £10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. Tho Grand Principle of this and future drawings will be that any Investor purchasing iS tickets must secure a price, in. fact is f/uaranteed one, as a Prise will be dratcn from the 100 prizes to cveru I S5 numbers up to the 1,,000. Any Investor of £1 the chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, and 1 any Investor of £2 the chances will be 0 to 1 against him getting a prizo, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of ' 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conducted on the Fairest Principle possi ble, and Investors will find it to thoir advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in pre . ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from 1100 'to 1 to ■ SO,OOO to l against getting- a prise at all. , Tho Drawing will take place under the Imme -1 diato Supervision of Six Gentlemen, and Two Youths'will draw the numbers and prizes, and the prizes will all be paid over within 21 hours after tho drawing or immediately after the winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent for working expenses. In vestors should apply at once, and ail Investors only may know after tho drawing who the prize-takers are by forwarding a stamped onvo fope already addressed, thus ensuring perfect faith and fldolity to all Investors. These Draw ings for £2,000 are to take place every Two Months; this present ono to close on 28th February, and tho following one to open on Ist March. Prizes paid over within 24 hours after drawing.
