MONEY PRIZES Will take place similar to the HAMBURG PRINCIPLE of drawings; nothing of the kind las ever been introduced in New Zealand, and he system that will bo carried out in this and n future drawings will far surpass the chance 3 of getting a prize in any ot the Horse Consul utions, as people who have frequently tried in the Numerous Horse Consultations know to their sorrow.
