GRAND DISTRIBUTION or MONEY PRIZES Will tako placo similar to tho HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in New Zealand, and tho system that will bo carried out iv this and In future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a prize in any of the Horse Consul tations, as people who have frequently tried In the Numerous Horso Consultations know to their sorrow, A trial In this drawing may convinco the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the tickets aro appliod for, or not later than 28th FEBRUARY. This GRAND DRAWING will consist of 100 Money Prizes amounting In nil to £2,000, sub scribed by 1,000 mombors at 10s each. The various Monoy Prizes will bo distributed as fol lows: — One £300 prize, ono £150 prizo, ono £100 prize, two £50 prizes, live £20 prizes, one hundred £10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. Tho Grand Principle of this and future draw ings will be that any Investor purchasing ii tickets must secure a prize, in fact is guaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn from the IGO Trrizes to every 20 numbers up to the UflOO. Any Investor of £1 the chances will only bo 12 to 1 against him, and any Investor of £2 the chances will be 6 to 1 against him getting a prize, and the Hoad Prizo or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing Is on tho most novel, and will bo conducted on tho Fairest Principle possi ble, and Investors will lind it to their advantage to speculate a tritlo iv this drawing in pre ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from SOO to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prise at all. Tho Drawing will tako place under tho Imme diate 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 the'drawing or Immediately after the winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent, for working expenses. • Investors should nppiv at once, and all In vestors only may know after the drawing who tlie prize-takers are by forwarding a stamped envelopo alroady addrosscd, thus onsurlng per feot faith and fldollty to all Investors.
