Over 3000 applications for programmes are now registered fov the Second Drawing.

The grand principle of these Ham burg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, and the chances are m favour of {he investor drawing v large prize, as there are 124 large prizes against 116 small ones. To any 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 auy investor of 10/. TJie large bulk of tho Money m this Grand Drawing is not given away m one big prize, as it is m the Horse Consultations, but you will observe m this Hamburg Drawing that the £3000 is fairly proportioned into 240 Pkizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conducted on tho fairest principle possible, t>o as to give entiie public satisfaction.
