FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

FIRE. FIRE. FIRE. THE , HARDEN j|« PATENT FIRE EXTIMGUIBHBB, THE GEEAT. DESlDEßittrtfc : Indorsed by the Chiefs of Fire Departments, Fire Insurance Companies, and Business Houses of America. (PATENTED AUGUST 8, 1871, AND AUGUST 14, 1883) The original and only practical Fire Extinguishing Hand Grenade. _ _'. When thrown upon or into fire, Carbonic Acid Gas is developed. Its effect is instantaneous and complete in fire quenching. * No deluging of goods by water. No goods permanently spoiled. Harmless to persons or clothing. Has no explosive caps or sus«s. Is always ready and powerful. Cannot get out of order. It is cheap and convenient. A lady can use it easily, without fear or embarrassment. There is no poisonous vapour, if it is broken accidentally. .. IT is not claimed for these Fire Extinguishers that they can take the place of a Fire Department, but simply to enable everybody to conquer incipient fires before a fire engine could reach them, the first five minutes at a fire being worth more than as many hours afterwards. The many practical proofs received of actual, and what threatened to be severe fires, being got under check, and extinguished completely, by these Uaeden Star Gbenades, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their cheapness brings them within the reach of all property-holders. These Hakeen Stab Gbeuadks are now to be found in the Public Institutions, Hotels, Stores, Warehouses, and Dwelling-houses of the United States Cities, and Townships. They ake to bb seen in the passages of Drury Lane, The Savoy, Globe, and other Theatres, South Kensington Museums, International Inventions v Exhibition, the Public Buildings, .Hotels, and Warehouses in London, and all throughout the United Kingdom. Householders, tenants, and all property-holders should at once possess themselves of some of these Grenades, as in this country of wooden buildings, where fires seem to be a necessary evil, everyone should be possessed of the best means for coping with the same. ............

FBOM the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have obtained, the promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two month*. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultationists (about thirty) to contend against, 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 so, as this Company is too well established and favorably knov; n with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the ninth drawing; or, if the applioant wishes, the money will bo returned. The Ninth Grand Drawing tot £4000 will close the end of JUNE, and the Tenth Hamburg Drawing will Open on tbe Ist JULY. This Ninth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 Money Pbizes, amounting to £4000, aubscribed by 8000 members at 10s each. The Tarious Money Phizes will be distributed as follows: — - i 1 £300 PRIZE 15 £25 PRIZES j 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 Amount, £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 lAßas Pbizb, os there are 220 iabgb Pbizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Pbizb or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10a. Read This. —In Boaz'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 m> rblea are replaced for each Drawing of the Cabh Pbizes, which give the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before 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 fora single investment of 10s.

"N"OTE —Prize Winners, whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without thsir written consent. ntr , nn „, This Ninth Grand, Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a .committoo of eicht subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
