From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have obtained the promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. 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 known 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 applicant wishes, the money will be returned. ...

To an investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any ether may be drawn by an Investor of 10s. . „ , „ . Read This. —ln Boaz s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10a 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 each drawing of the cask prizes, which gives 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 ai.d may win a number of prizes for a single investment or xus. . . Note.—Prize Winners, whether winning large or small prizes, are informed that their names will not be made public without tboir written consent.
