GRAND DISTRIBUTION ok 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 bo carried out in this and In future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a prize in any of the Horse Consul tations, us people who have frequently tried in the Numerous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the most sceptical, us the drawing will take place as soon as the tickets are applied for, or not later than 2Sth FEBRUARY.
