Sporting SPORTING NEWS. Frizes. <f]T TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a "Purchaser of 25 Programmes one will be given Gratis. TT'BOM the undoubted popularity and groat it success thesa drawings have obtained, the promoters are enabled to bring them before tbe public every two month*. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Oonsultationists (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enough to do their utmost to try and injure the promoters of the Hamburg Company; they cannot do bo, as this Company is too well established and favorably known with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the tenth drawing; or, if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. The Tmth Grand Drawing for £4000 will close the end of AUGUST, and the Eleventh Hamburg Drawing will Open on tbe Ist SEPTEMBER. The Tenth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 Monby Pbizes, amounting to £4000, subscribed by 8000 members at 10; each. The various Money Phizes will be distributed ns follows :— 1 £300 PRIZE 15 £25 PBIZES 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 Amount, £4000. 320 Mohey Pbizes. To a Purchaser of 25 Programmes one will ! le given Gratis. The Grand principle of these Samburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Pbizb, and tlte chances are in favor of the investor drawing a iabgke PilizE, off there are 220 iab&h Pbizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and tbe Head Pbize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Read This.—ln JSoaz's Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odda are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a Morse or Cash Prize in any of the Horse Consultations. The in*rbles are replaced for each Drawing of the Cash 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 for a single investment of 10s. NOTE.—Prize Winners, whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without their written consent. This Tenth Grand Drawing for £4000 wil 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.
