First Drawing for £2,000 on the Hamburg principle filled up before the advertised time. fhe money will be returned for the largo number of applications that camo too late for the first drawing, or programmes will be for warded for Second Drawing. The Second Drawing is now open, lor the grand and equal distribution of Money Prizes, amounting to £3,000, to be drawn the same as in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. This Second Drawing will take place not later than tho end of April, or earlier If filled, and the 'rfSrd Drawing -will open Ist May. These Grand Drawings will tako place every two months. Over 900 applications for programmes are now registered for the Second Drawing. Tlie Company were induced to make this Second! Drawing for £3,000 in consequence of the first drawing having filled so rapidly, also to enable them to give larger prizeß. This Second Grand Drawing will consist of 210 Money Prizes, amounting to £3,000. sub scribed by 6,000 members at 108 each, Tho various Money Prizes will bo distributed as follows:—One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £00 prizes, ten £30 prizes, four £25 prizes, tu-cnty £20 prizes, twenty £■> prizes, sixty-five JSIO prizes, one hundred and sixteen £5 prizes. Total amount* £3,000. 240 money prizes. The Graxd Principle or thoso Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to-every 25 numbers, ana he chances are in favour of the investor draw ng a lareo prize, as there are 124 large prizes againßt 116 small onos. To any Investor of £2 the ohanoes are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prizo, and the Head Prize or any other may Be drawn by any investor of 10s. The large bnlk of the Money In this Grand Drawing is not given away in ons mg p/ize, as it is in the Horse Consultations, but you will obsorvo in this Hamburg Drawing that tho £3000 Is fairly proportioned into 240 prises. Riving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize.
