Abridged from the “ Australasian Sketohee” op 4th August, 1877. ; “ Onr front cut this month is a sketch from life of one of these stances —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 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 dime, they are placed in a barrel. Then on . plain marbles the , names of the horses are written ; these are put 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 sorutineeis. 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 pitted about an hour and a half.” Result slips of the drawing are forwarded to country subscribers, and the amount is divided thus:— ' First ...£IOOO Second... ... ... ••• 400 Third ... .;. ... ..- 150 Starters (divided) 250 Non-Starters (do) 200 £2OOO ELBOURNE GUP, 18 78.
