GRAND DISTRIBUTION of MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to the HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in New Zealand, and the system that will be carried out in 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 Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawingmay convince tho most sceptical, us the drawing will take placo as soon as the tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th FEBRUARY. This GRAND DRAWING will consist of 160 Money Prizes amounting in all to £2,000, sub scribed by 4,000 members at 10s each. Tne various Money Prizes will be distributed as fol lows : — One £300 prize, ono £150 prizo, one £100 prize, two £50 prizes five £20 prizes, ono hundred £10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. The Grand Principle of this and future draw ings will be that any Investor purchasing Si tickets must secure a, prize, in fact is guaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn from the 100 prizes to every ii' numbers up to the t*,ooo. Any Investor of £1 the chances will only bo 12 to 1 against him, and any Investor of £2 the chances will be 0 to 1 against him getting a prize, 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 tlio FaircstPrinciple possi ble, and Investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in tlu3 drawing in pre ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where (he chances vara from -100 to 1 to 'iQfiOO to 1 against getting a prize at all. The Drawing will take placo undor the Imme diate Supervision of Six Gentlemen, and Two Youths will draw Uie numbers and prizes, and tlio prizes will all be paid over within 24 hours after the drawing or immediately after the winning numbors aro forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent for working expenses. Investors should apply at once, and all In vestors only may know after the drawing who tho prize-takers are by forwarding a stamped envelope already addressed, thus ensuring per fect faith and ftdolity to all Investors. These Drawings for £2,000 are to tako place every Two Months; this present one to close on 28th Fobruary, and the following one to open on Ist March. PRIZES PAID OVER WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER DRAWING.
