Address— WHALE, Care of John Peabcb, Wharf Hotel, Thames. SPORTING. NEWS. Grand Distribution of Money Prizes WILL take place similar to the Hamburg principle of drawings. Nothing pf the kind has ever been introduced inN.Z, and the system that will be carried out in this and future drawings will far eurpaas the chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Morse Consultations, as people who have frequently tried in.the numerous horse consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the roost sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon a3 the Tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th February. This Grand Drawing will consist of 160 Money P/seSj amounting in all to £2COO, subscribed by 4LQXO Members at 10a. each. The various Money Prizes will be Distributed as follows :—1 £300 Prize, 1 £150 Prize,. 1 £100 Prize, 2 £50 Prizes, 5 £20 Prizes/100 £10 Prisies, 50 £5 Prizes. : The grand principle of this and future drawings will be that any investor purchasing '25 Tickets, must secure a prize - ia fact,, guaranteed erne, as a pvize will be drawn from the 160 Prizes to, ever/ number up to the 4000. Any investor .of £1, the chances will be only 12 to 1 against him, and any investor of £2 it will only be 6 to 1 against him getting a Prize, and the HEAD pbizb or any other may drawn by any, investor of 10b. Tbia Drawing is on the most novel, and will be o nducted on the fairest, principle possible, and investors will find it to their advantage to (peculate a trifle in this drawing in preference to any of the numerous horse consultations, where the chances vary from 300 to.l to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prize at all. The Drawing will take place under the immediate supervision of six gentlemen, and two youths will draw the Numbers and Prizes, and the Prizes will all be paid over within 24 hours after the drawing, or immediately after the winning numbers are forwarded, deducting the usual 10 per cent; for working expenses. . ' :•■-, ; Investors ehould apply at once; and investors only may know after the drawing who the prize*tokers are, by f. rwardmg a j stamped envelope already addressed, .thus j. insuring perfect faith and fidelity 15 all investors.
