Abridged from the AusTß.iEASi.uf Sketcher ” of 4ia August, 1877. “Our front cut this mouth is a sketch from life of one. of these s6anccs —the drawing of a £2OOO sweep on 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 oue 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 the horses are written; these are pub in a smaller barrel on the table in front of the chairman. A volunteer is called for to ‘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 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 the horses are drawn. Everything is conducted with the 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 the amount is divided thus;— First ... Second... ... '• ... Third Starters (divided) ...
