The Second Drawing is now open, for th» grand and equal distribution of Monty Pnzts, amounting to £3,000, to be drawn tho same as in Hamburg and other Continental Cuies. This Second Drawing will take place not later than tho end of April, or earlier if filled, and the Third Drawing will open Ist May. These Grand Drawings will take place every two monUii. Over 900 applications forproKrammeaare now registered for th« Second Drawing. Ths Company woro induced to mako' this Second 1/rawintJ for £3,000 in consequence of tho llrst drawing having filled so rapidly, also to enable them to give larger prizes. This Second Grand Drawing will consist of 240 Monby Phizes, amounting to £8,000. sub scribed by 6,000 members at 10s eooh. The various Money Prizes will bo distributed as follows:—One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £G0 prizes, ten £30 prizes, four £25 prizes, twenty £20 prizes, twenty £15 prizes, sixty-five £10 prizes, one hundred and sixteen £5 prizes. Total amount, £3,000. 240 money prizes. The Grand Principle of these Hamburg Dra tw»7igs is that a purchaser of 25 Proaramnies is uuarantetd a Prize, as it is bo drawn that a Srize must come out to every 25 numbers, and le chances aro in favour of the investor draw ing a large prize, as thorc aro 124 large prizes against 110 small ones. To any Invostor of £i the chanoes arc only G to 1 againßt him drawing a Srizo, and the Head Prize or any other may be rawn by any investor of 108. The largo bulk of tho Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it iB in tho Horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that tho £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an oqual chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing Is on the most novel, and will bo conducted on tho fairest principle possible, so as to give entire public satisfaction. This Second Drawing for £3,000 will take place under tho supervision of a committee of eight Kontlemon, and the prizes will bo paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
