TTNPARALLELED Saccees of these VJ Grand Drawings, as they are carried out on the same principle as in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. Tne First Drawing for £2000, and the Second Drawing for £3000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company were induced to make this Third Grand, Drawing for £3000, in ooneequence of the great success, and also the confldence gained from the public since opening these Hamburg Drawings.. This Third Grand Drawing will take placa not later than the end of June, and the Fourth Drawing will open on the Ist July. Late Applications are registered for the Third Drawing.

The Grand principle of these Hamburg Dratoings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers, and the chances are in faror of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes against 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Peize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. , The large bulk of the Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the Horse Coiuultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing (hat the £3000 is fairly proportioned into 240 Pbizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is one of the most novel, and will be conducted on the fairest principle possible, bo as to give entire public satisfaction ■ This Third Grand 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 possible after the drawing.
