And in accordance with such determination, the necessary arrangements are in course of completion. 1. There are on sale at the Store of Mr. W.

When the whole of the shares shall be taken up, notice will be given by advertisement of the distribution of the Engravings, which will be in number equal to the cumber of shares, thus entitling every member to a priie of more or less value. 3.
