THE Four previous Drawings were filled, and all applications that came too late J for the Fourth will be registered in this Drawing. The Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will close tbe end of Ootobeb, and the Sixth Drawing will Open on tbe Ist Novembeb. This Fifth Grand Draining will consist of 320 Money Phizes, amounting to £4000 ; subscribed by 8000 members at 10s each. The various Monet Peizes will be dis» tributed as follows :— 1 £300 PBIZE 15 £25 PRIZES 1 £200 PRIZE 15 £20 PRIZES 1 £100 PRIZE 15 £15 PRIZES 2 £50 PRIZES 160 £10 PRIZES 10 £30 PRIZES 100 £5 PRIZES Totai Amobut, £4000. 320 Monet Pbizes. The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbize, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a lA.BOE Pbijsb, as there are 220 I.ABGB Pbizes to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 tbe cbances are only 6 to 1 against him -drawing a prize, and the Head Pbize or any other may be drawn by any inveßtor of 10s. Read this CabebtiMiT.—ln Boaz's Grand Hamburg Drawings tbe greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note some of the Hone Consultations on the Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10s each, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives 133 nominations, so that the odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawing a horse. Now take the Cash Pbizes drawn at the same time, and calculate the odds ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Prize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Cash Fbizes, which give the enormous odds against investors. The Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultation j and the Company would not presume to tell tbe public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of lOe. This Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after tbe drawing.
