To a purchaser of 25 programmes one frill be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have obtained, the promoters are enaoUbi to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company baa a large number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to do their utmost to ( try and injure the promoters of the Hamburg Company, they cannot do *°, a 8 this Company is too well established and favorably known with the public all through New Zealand. . The large number of applications that pame in too late will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant fritbes, the money will be returned. The tenth grand drawing for $i4,000 aojl close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. The tenth grand will consist of 320 money prises, 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 £26 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £1.5 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser _of 26 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. Head this.— In Boas’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. Bat 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 of the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company wonld simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Company wonld 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 without their written consent. This tenth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supei vision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
