GRAND DISTRIBUTION of MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to the HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in Now Zealand, and the system that will be carried out in this and In future drawings will far surpass the chancos of getting v prize In any of the Horae Consul tations, aa people who have frequently tried in the Numerous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow. A trial In this drawing may convinco the moat sceptical, as tho drawing will take place as soon as the tickets are 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 SS tickets must secure a prize, in fact is guaran teed one, as a Prize will be drawn from, the 160 prises to every 25 numbers up to the i,OOO. Any Investor of £1 tho chances will only be 12 to 1 against him, and any Investor of £2 the chances will be G to 1 against him getting a prize, and the Head Prize or any othermay be drawn by any investor of 10s. This Drawing is on the most novel, and will bo conducted on tho 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 tlie numerous horse consulta tions where the chances vary from SOO to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prize at all, Tho Drawing will take place under tho Imme diate Supervision of Six Gentlemen, and Two Youths will draw the numbers and prizes, and the prizes will all bo paid over within 24 hours after the drawing or immediately after the winning numbors 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 are by forwarding a stamped envolojo already addressed, thus ensuring per fect faith and fidelity to all Investors. These Drawings for £2,000 are to take place every Two Months; this present one to close on 28th February, and the following one to open on Ist March. PRIZES PAID OVER WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER DRAWING.
