The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, and the ©hances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as theie 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 carefully. In Boaz's Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s draw- ; prize But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a Horse or Cash Prize in anj of the Horse Consultations. The marbles Teplaced for each drawing of the Cash Priz-s, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors. to calculate the •dds 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 can win .a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. KOTE.— 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 having 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 L4OOO will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, aud the prizes wil I be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
