' . ■'-?'.:.':.: The Grand principle 0/ these Hamburg Drawings that a purchaser of £5 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, and the chinas are in favour of theitvestor drawing a large Prise,- as there are 220' large prises to 100 small ones. < To a. , i investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against hit a drawing a prize, and the Head Pi lie or any other may be drawn by an invents r of 10s. . READ THIS.—In Boca'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 odd* against investors drawing a Horse «r Cask Prise in Any, Of ; the Boris Csnsultations. The marbles are replaced - for each drawing of the: cash prises, which gives the enormous odds against inves-: : tors. This Company would simply ask inventors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations ; and this I 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 investmentoMOs." -■■-v v .;^;,'-vSV:^iv-.-i,^:<; : ■ NOTE—Prixi Winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public without their written content. : c ■'=-, -■•' •: This Eighth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take pUce under the supervision of a committee of eight subscribers, and the priiei will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing. : -. - L -;r ■■- ■■■■ ■ ■ • tar.
