I promise to give to the Benevolent Society, Tu 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 badness in Wellington.

Consequently, I have purchased some land in the Waimrapa, and intend to settle there about the end of the present year. In the 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 tho prizes ; I also guarantee every article as genuine, as I have carefully excluded all fancy or plated goods. Tho 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 arc sold, and will be under the scrutiny and supervision of a committee of ticketholders. ■ 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 Wemmiok describes as “portable property,” or £IOO in hard cash. The winning numbers will be duly advertised as soon ns the drawing is over. Orders for tickets by post, if accompanied by cheque or P. 0., will bo attended to by return of post.
