Consultation. f y HT 1 JUti NH W&. d£i,Uoo 320 CASH PRIZES. TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have obtained, the promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company _ has a large number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to dc their utmost to try and injure the promoters of the Hamburg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and favorably known with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money wUI be returned. The tenth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. The tenth 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 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 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, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 220 _ large prizes to 100 small ones. To an 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’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 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 ot the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Com? pany would not presume to tell the public tfaat they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. Rote.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without their written consent. This tenth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supetvision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
