Our present programme on Queen's Birthday filled- about 50 per cent, over the original issue, (2893 against 2000.) Each Ticket Has Six Chances y and is drawn on the principle that if a Programme docs not fill, prizes are paid pro rata. We reserve to ourxelves the right, of continuing the sale of shares over advertised number, it necessity demands it, and thereby adding to the value of all Prizes by a pro rata addition. Tn this instance we shall sell until Monday, 14th July, whatever the number applied for ,may be, experience teaching us that " SnppLEMENTARiES " and No. 2's are not appreciated. ;.* In writing for Tickets it would be better for many reasons to use Two Envelopes.
