Address— . WHALE, Care of John Peaboe, JWharf Hotel, Thames. SPOBTING NEWS. Grand Distribution of Money Prizes WILL take place similar to the Hamburg principle of drawings. Nothing of the kind has erer been introduced in N.Z., and the system that will be carried out in this and future drawings will far surpass the chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Horse Consultations, as people who have frequently tried in the numerous horse consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the most sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the Tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th February. . - This Grand Drawing will consist of l|6O Money PrzeS, amounting in all to £2000, subscribed by 4000 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 Prizes, 50 £5 Prizes. The grand principle of this and future drawings will be that any investor purchasing 25 Tickets must secure a prize-in fact, guaranteed one, as a prize will be drawn from the 160 Prizes to ever j 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 peize or any other may drawn by any investor of 10s. ■ This Drawing is on the moat novel, and will be conducted on the fairest, principle possible, and investors will find it to their advantage to speculate a trifle in this drawing in preference to any of the numerous horse consultations, where the chances vary from 300 to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prizeat 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 should apply at once; and investors only may know after the drawing who the prize-takers are, by forwarding a stamped envelope already addressed, thus insuring perfect faith and fidelity to all investors. These Drawings for £2000 are to take place every two months; this present one to close on 28th February, and the following one to open on let March.
