Tlie Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will close the end of Ootobek, and the Sixth Drawing will Open on the Ist Novembeb. This Fifth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 Monet Phizes, amounting to £4000, subscribed by 8000 members at 10s euch. Tbe various Money Pbizes will be distributed as follows: — 1 £300 PKIZE 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 Total Amottnt, £4000. 320 Money 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 large Pbijse, as there are 220 iakge Pbizes to 100 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 agoinsb him drawing a prize, and tde Head Pbize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. I Read this CakebtjlljX.—ln Boaz's Grand ! Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are i only 25 to 1 agaiost an investor of 10s draw- ■ ing a prize. But. carefully note some of the Morse Consultations on the Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10a 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 lake the Cash Peizes drawn at the came time, and calculate the oddß ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor draioing a Cash Pbize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Cash Pbizes, which give the enormous odds against investors. Tlie Company would simply ask 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 lOp. 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 the drawing.
