Grand Distribution of Money Prizes W' ILL 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 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 moat sceptical, as the drawing will take place ac soon as the Tickets are applied for, or not later than 28th February. This Grand Drawing will consist of 160 Money PrzeS, amounting in all to £2000, subscribed by 40U0 Members at 10*. 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 every 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 peizk or any other may drawn by any investor of 10s. This DrawiDg is on the most novel, and will bo 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 chanceß vary from 300 to 1 to 20,000 to 1 against getting a prize at all. The DrawiDg will take place under the immediato supervision of cix gentlemen, and two youths will draw tho Numbers and Prizes, juid tho Prizes will all be paid over within 24 hours after (ho 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 in* vestors. .
