The process is very simple. : The ; committee are chosen from among the subscribers by ballot, and invited to meet on a certain evening. Our artist was one of these privileged few. At eight o’clock, 30 subscribers having assembled, a chairman was elected, and then two scrutineers. Two thousand marbles, with the numbers out in plain figures oh them, are handed round, in trays of 100 each, to the .'members of the committee, for the purpose’of being counted. This done, they are placed in a barrel. Then on plain marbles the names of the horses are written .these .are pub in a smaller barrel on the .table in front of the chairman. A volunteer is called for ito ‘churn’ the larger barrel, and slips of paper being supplied to the committee, everything is ready. A marble is then drawn out of the larger barrel, the number-called out 1 and entered in a book, and then passed to, tho scrutineers. Then a horse is drawn out of the-smaller barrel, and number and horse go together; and so on till the whole of tho horses are drawn. Everything is conducted, with,the utmost fairness, and there- is no, possibility of , anything crooked’- The affair lasted about anhour and a half." lesult slips of the drawing are forwarded to ntry subscribers, and tho amount is divided First ...
