THE Five previous Drawings were filled,, and applications that camo too late will be registered in the Sixth Drawing.

The various Money Prizes will be distributed as follows:— 1 £300 PRIZE. 15 £25PRIZES 1 £200 PRIZE 15 £20 PRIZES * ■ 1 £100 PRIZE 15 £15 PRIZES 2 £50 PRIZES 160 £10 PRIZES 10 £30 PRIZES 100 £5 PRIZES , Total Amount, £4000. 320 Money Pbizes The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, and the 1 chances are hi favor of tho investor drawing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of £2 the chances aro only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any invester of 10s. Read this. —In Boaz's Grand Hamburg 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 of 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 consultation; 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 without their written consent. This course will be pursued in consequence of the company havings received many letters at various times from prize winners, particularly requesting the company not on any account to make their names public. This Sixth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committeeof eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
