First Drawing for £2,000 on the Hamburg principle filled up before the advertised timo. The money will be returned for the large number of applications that came too late for tho llrst drawing, or programmes will be for warded for Second Drawing. Tho Secosid Drawing is now open, for ths grand and equal distribution of Money Prizes, nniounting to £3,0(10, to be drawn the same as in Hamburg and other Continental CUiea. This Second Drawing will tako place notlator than tho end of Aphil, or earlier if filled, and the Third Drawing will open lit May. These Grand Drawings will take placo every two mouths. Over 900 applications for programmes are now registered for tho Second Drawing. The Company wero induced to make this Second Drawing for £3,000 in consequence of thu llrst drawing having tilled so rapidly, also to enable them to give larger prizes. This Second Grand Drawing consist of 210 MoNiiV Pui/.ks, nniountiiiK to £3.000. sub scribed by 0,000 members at 10a each.,) Tho various Money Prizes will bo distributed as follows:—One £300 prize, one £l:') 0 prize, one £100 prino. two £i; 0 prizes, ten £30 prizes, four £2f> prizes, twenty £^0 prizes, twonty £15 prizes, sixty five £10 prizes, one hundred and Bixtcen SH prizes. Total amount, £3.000. 210 monoy prizes. The Grand Principle of theso Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaruntecd a Prize, as it is so drawn that a prlzo must come out to every 25 numbers, and the chances are in favour of the investor draw ing a laree prize, as there are 124 large prizes against 110 small ono?. To any Investor of £2 the chances arc only 6 to 1 against him drawing a Srize, and the Head Prize or any other may be rawn by any investor of 10s. The large bulk of tho Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prizo, as It is in tho Horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 210 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This HamburgDrawingis on the mo3t novol, and will bo conducted on tho fairest principle possible, so as to give entire public satisfaction. This Second Drawingtor £3,000 will take place undor the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and tho prizes will be paid over as early us possible after tho drawing.
