FORREST, Secretary. gPORTIKG NEWS, Grand Distribution of Money Prizes will take place similar to the Hamburg principle of drawings ■, nothing of tin kind has ever been iniro !uee 1 in New Zealand, and the system that will be carrid in tins and futu-e Drawings will far surpass tl>e chances of getting a prize than in anv of the Horse Consultations, as people who have frequently tried in the numerous Horse Consulta inns know to their sorrow. A 'rial in this Drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the Drawing will take ilioe as soon as the Tickets are aPPI TED FOR, or not later than the 2sth FEBRUARY. This Grand Drawing will consist of 160 MONEY PRIZES, amounting in all to L2! ; oo,.subscribed by 4MIP Members at 10s, The various Money Priz s will be Distributed as Mows 1 I 300 Prize ; 1 Ll5O Prize ; 1 LIOO Prize ; 2 I 50 Priz-s ; 5 L2O Prizes ; 100 LlO Prize ; 50 L 5 Prizes.

Any Investor of Ll tbe chances will be only 12 to 1 against him, and any investor of L2 will be only 6 to 1 against him getting • prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any Investor of 10-. The Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conduced on the forest primp la possible, and Investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in this Drawing in preference to any of the numerous Horse Consultations, where the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 20,0 0 to 1 against getting a prize at all. The drawing will lake place under the immediate supervision of 6 gentlemen, and 2 youths will draw the numbers and priz a, and the prizes will all be paid over within 24 hours after the drawing, or immediately after the winning numbers are fonvaMcd, deducting the usual 10 per cent, for working expenses.
