From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have obtained throughout New Zealand the promoters are enaoled to bring “®* or ® the public every two months. Although this Company has a largo number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to do their Utmost toinjuretho promotersof the Hamburg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and favo ably known with the,public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that I came in too late will be registered in the ninth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. The ninth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of June, and the tenth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of J uly. This ninth 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 : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £ls prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; ICO £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000: 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 programmes is guaranteed a prize, a*d the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 220 _ large prizes to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s, Read this.—ln Boaz’a Grand Hambnrg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing oi the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments iu any horse consultations; and this Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with* out their written consent. This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
