Abridged pbom the “ Atotbalasian Sketches” op 4th Abgdst, 1877. “ Our front cut this month is a sketch from life of one of these siances —the drawing, of a £2OOO sweep bn the Melbourne Cup. 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 cut in plain figures on 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 tho horses are written; these are put in a smaller barrel on the table in front of tho chairman. A volunteer is called for to ‘churn’ tho larger barrel, and slips of paper being supplied to tho committee, everything is ready. A marble is then drawn out of the larger barrel, tho number called out and entered in a book, and, then passed to the 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 tho utmost fairness, and there is no possibility of anything crooked' The affair lasted about an hour and a half.” Result slips of the drawing are forwarded to country subscribers, and tho amount is divided thus;— ( , • 1 First ... ... ... ... £IOOO Second Third ...
