The eighth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close ' the end of April, and the ninth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of May. This eighth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be distributed as follows: —
