Tlie Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings ia that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Phizb, and the chances are in iavor of the investor draining a labckb Pbizb, as there are 220 z,_na_ Pbizeb to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 tbe chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and tbe Head Pbize or any other may bo drawn by any investor of 10s. Read thi3 Ca:re*u__y.—ln Boaz's Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note some of the Horse Consultations on the Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10s e*ich, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives 133 nominations, so that tbe odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawing a horse. Now lake the Cash Pbizes drawn at the Fame time, and calculate tbe odds ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that theodda vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Pbize. The whple 20,000 marbles Bre advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Cash Pbizes, which give the enormous odds against investors. The Company would simply aß_ investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultation ; and 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 10?. This Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under tbe supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
