THREE HONORED AND EIGHTY-TWO PRIZES, Varying in amount from a Gold Wedding Ring to ONE HUNDRED POUNDS CASH, > Less 5 per cent. (£5) which I promise to give to the Benevolent Society. In submitting the above to the favorable consideration of the public, I respectfully thank them for their patronage during the last thirteen years that I have been in business in Wellington. ■ I am. compelled to give up business, as the strain on my eyesight would in a few years result in partial blindness. Consequently, I have purchased some land in the Wairarapa, and intend to settle there about the end of the present year. In tho following list of prizes I pledge my word as a Mason, an Odd Fellow,-a Forester, and a Cosmopolitan that I have not put any fictitious value on any of the prizes ; I also guarantee every article as genuine, as I have j carefully excluded all fancy or plated goods. 1 The watches, jewellery, &c., are sterling gold and silver ; the miscellaneous goods .are in strict conformity with their description in the list. The drawing will take place as soon as the ; tickets are sold, and will be under the scrutiny ! and supervision of a committee of ticket- 1 holders. I have made the price of the ticket 55., so as to be within the means of everyone who can afford to speculate that amount for a chance of obtaining a valuable equivalent in the shape of what the eccentric Wemraick describes as “portable property,” or £IOO in hard cash. The winning numbers will be duly advertised as soon as the drawing is over. Orders for tickets by post, if accompanied, by cheque or P. 0., will be attended to by re-

turn of post. The following is the list of prizes : Prizes. Value. 1 Cash (less discount as aforesaid) £IOO 0 1 Massive gold English lever watch. 382 prizes .
