MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to the HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind hjft ever been introduced In New Zealand, and _V 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 Horse Consul tations, as people who have frequently triad in the Numerous Horeo Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as Boon is the tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th FEBRUARY.
