The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a JPbize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out.to every 25 numbers, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 124 large prizes agaimt 116 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and tbe Head Pbizb or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10a. The large bulk of the Monet in this Qrand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in tbe Horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the £3000 is fairly proportioned into 240 Pbizes, giviDg every shareholder an equal cbauce of getting a good prize. Thu Hamburg Draiving is on tbe most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle jpossible, so as to give entire public satisfaction" This Second Drawing^ for £3000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as pdss ble after tbp drawing, NOTICE.— Country-Cheques aiarked cor? rect by Batik, only payable to a number, and Is added for exchange.
