The Second Drawing Is now open, for the Brand and «qual distribution of Money Prizes. amounting to £3.008. to b« drawn the same as in Hamburg and other Continental CiUea. « This Second Drawing wHI take place not later than the end of April, or earlier if filled, and the Third Drawing will open Ist May. These Grand Drawings will taka plaoa eTcry two months. O**r 900 applications for programmes are now rogliterod for the Second Draining. Tha Company wore Induced to make this Second l>rawino for £3,000 in consequence of the llrst drawing having filled so rapidly,, also to enable them to give larger prizes. Thia Second Grand Drawing will consist of M 0 Monkv Prizes, amounting to £3,000. sub scribed by 0,000 members at 10s each. Tho various Money Priecs will bo distributed as follows:—One £300 prize, one £150 prize, one £100 prize, two £G0 prizes, ton £30 prizes, four £25 prizes, twenty £20 prizes, twenty £15 prizes. Blxty-flve £10 prizes, ono hundred and sixteen £5 prizoa. Total amount, £3,000. 210 money prizes. The Grand Principle- of thesa Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must como out to every 25 numbers, and the chances are in favour of the Investor draw ing n laree prize, as there are 124 largo prizes against 110 small Ones. To any Investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a Srize, and the Head Prize or any other may do rawn by any investor of 10s. The large bulk of the Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in tho Horse Consultations, but you will observo in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal ohanco of getting a good prizo. This Hamburg Drawing Is on tho most novel, and will bo conducted on tho fairest principle potsible. so as to givo entire public satisfaction.
