Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend again?t, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to do their utmost'to injure the promoters of the Hamburg Company; they cannot do bo, as this Company ia too well established and favorably known with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in tco late will be registered in the ninth drawing; or, if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned."

The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a. purchaser of 25 Pro- - grammes is guaranteed a Pbizb, and; the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a Li bos Pbizb, as there are 220 iaegh Pbizxß to 100 small •nes. To an investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 againßt him drawing a prize, and the Head Pbizb or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read Tnis.—ln Boax's Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a Horse or Cash Prize in any of the Horse Consultations. The marbles are replaced for 6ach Drawing of the Cash Pbizbs, which give the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the oddsbefore placing their investments in any horse consultations ; and this Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. 2JOTE.—Prize Winners, whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without their written consent. This Ninth Grand Drawing tot £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
