GRAND DISTRIBUTION of MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to the HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of tho 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 drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the tickets arc 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. The various Money Prizes will be distributed as fol lows: — One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £50 prizes, five £20 prizes, one hundred £10 prizes, fifty £5 prizes. The Grand Principle of this and future draw ings will be that any Investor purchasing 25 tickets must secure a prise, in fact is guaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn from the 160 pi'izes to every SB numbers up to the hfiOO. Any Investor of £1 the chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, and any Investor of £2 the chances will be 6 to 1 against him getting a prize, and tho Head Prize or any other may " c drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conducted on the Fairest Principle possi ble, and Investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in pre ference to any of the numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 10,000 to l against getting a prize at all. . The Drawing will take plaoe under the 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 apply at once, and all In vestors only may know after the drawing who the prize-takers aro by forwarding a stamped ohvolopo alroady addressed, thus ensuring per fect faith and fidelity to all investors. These Drawings for £2,000 are to take place every Two Months; this prcßont ono to closo on 2%th February, and tho following one to open on Ist March. PRIZES PAID OVER WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER DRAWING.
