O P O R T I N G NEWS THIRD GRAND DRAWING IS NOW OPEN Unparalleled success of those Grand Draw ings, as they (ire carried out on the same prin ciple a« in Hamburg and other Contirenta Cities. The First Drawing for £2,000, and the Secont Drawing for £3,000. llllod before the advertisec time for drawing. Tho Company were induced to make thi.l Third Grand Drawing for £3.000 in consequent of the great success, and also the conndenci famed from the public, since opening thesi lamburg Drawings. This Third Grand Drawing will takeplaceno later than the end of JUNK, and the Fourtl Drawing will open on the Ist July. Late Applications aro registered for the Thin! Drawing. Over 350 applications for programmes art now registered for the Third Drawing. This Third Grand Drawing will consist ot 240 MONEY PRIZES, amounting to £3,000, subscribed by 0.000 members at 10s each.

The Grand principle of theße Hamburg Draw ings 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, and the chances are in favour of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there aro 160 large prizes against 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 tho chances are only C to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. Tho Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single invest ment of 10s. The largo bulk of the Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the Horse Consultations, but you will obscrvo in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 2JO Prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawina is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle possible, bo as to givo entire public satisfaction. This Third Grand Drawing for £3,000 will take place under tho supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, anil the prizes will be paid over as early as ponsible after tlio drawing. iSTNOTICK.—Country Cheques marked cor rect by Bank, only p'lynhle to a number, and 1b added for exchange.
