NEWS. £4000.-320 CASH PRIZES. SST NINTH 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 do their utmost to injure the promoters of the Hamburg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and favourably known with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that 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 £4OOO will close the end of June, and the Tenth Hamburg Drawing will Open on the Ist July. The Ninth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 Money Prizes, amounting to £4OOO, subscribed by 8000 members, at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be distributed as follows : 1 L3GO PRIZE I 15 L 25 PRIZES 1 L2OO PRIZE j 15 L2O PRIZES 1 LIOO PRIZE 15 Ll 5 PRIZES 2 LSO PRIZES 100 LlO PRIZES 10 L3O PRIZES I 100 L 5 PRIZES Total amount, L4OOO. 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 favour of the investor drawing a large prize, as there ate 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of L2 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 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 consultations; and tliis 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 investmerit 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 Ninth Grand Drawing for L4OOO will take place under the .supervision of a committee of eight subscribers, ami 1 1 1 e priz l will be paid over as early as j omb.le a fin the drawing. ytoTTCF,-- ' ‘•mi'.tyy Cheques marked corrcc*. !.v it.ink. mih nayablo to a mi 'l' .-. ml ‘ . aimed mr exchange. io i'■■■.'■ i ■ .. jN’i.e es aeeented, i v.’ii mi -.nuv.ps lor ipply and lesuld Uot'i: teved letters and telegrams not received.
