The largo number of applications (over 900) that came too late will ha duly registered for this Fourth Drawing. This fourth grand drawing will consist of 240 money prizes, amounting to L 3,000 subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis- . tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £l5O prize; 1 £IOO i prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £3O prizes; 10 £26 prizes; 10 £2O prizes; 10 £ls prizes ; 120 £lO prizes ; 80 £5 prizes. Total ’ amount, £3,000: 240 money prizes. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 programes is guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, »»d the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes to 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw* ing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a numbet of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. The large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in cqe big prize, as it is in the horse consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned Into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chaneo of gelling a good prize. ’ This Hamburg Drawing is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle possible, so as to give ehtire public satisfaction. This fourth grand drawing for £3,000 will take place under the supeivision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
