The Second Drawing is now open, for the graud and equul distribution of Money Prizes, amounting to £3000, to be drawn the same as m Hamburg and other Continental Cities. This Second Drawing will take place not later than the end of April, or earlier if filled, and the Third Drawing will open Ist May. Tlieae Grand Drawings will take place every two months. Over 3000 applications for programme)) are now registered for the Second Drawing. TJie Company were induced to make this Second Drawing for £3000, m consequence of the first drawing having filled so rapidly, also to enable them to give larger prizes . This Second Grand Drawing will consist of 240 Money Prizes, amounting to £3000, subscribed by 6000 members at 10/- each. The vai bus Money Prizes will be distributed as follows: — 1 £300 Prize; 1 £150 Pbizr; 1 £100 Puize; 2 £60 Prizbs; 10 £30 Prtzes; 4 £25 Prtzes; 20 £20 Prizes; 20 £15 Prizes; 65 £10 Prizes; 116 £5 Prizes. Total Amount, £3000. 240 Monet Prizes. ' 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 nre m favour of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 124 large prizes agaiust 116 small ones. I o any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head jPrize or any other may be drawn by atiy investor of 10/. The large bulk of the 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 Dvmoing that the £3000 is fairly proportioned into 240 Phizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. 27ms Hamburg Drawing is on the most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle possible, >o as to give entire public satisfaction. H his Second Drawing for £3000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
