Art Union QAMPBBLL’S ART UNION. 4000 TICKETS AT ss. EACH. THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-TWO PRIZES, Varying in amount from a Gold Wedding Ring to ONE HUNDRED POUNDS CASH, Less 5 per cent. (£5) which I promise to give to the Benevolent Society. In submitting the above to the favorable consideration of the public, I respectfully thank them for their patronage during the last thirteen years that I have been in business in Wellington. I am compelled to give up business, as the strain on my eyesight would in a few years result in partial blindness. Consequently, I have purchased some land in the Wairarapa, and intend to settle there about the end of the present year. In the following list of prizes I pledge my word as a Mason, an Odd Eellow, a Forester, and a Cosmopolitan that I have not put any fictitious value on any, of the prizes; I also guarantee every article as genuine, as I have carefully excluded all fancy or plated goods. The watches, jewellery, &c., arc sterling gold anti silver ; the miscellaneous goods are in strict conformity with their description in the list. The drawing will take place as soon as the tickets are sold, and will be under the scrutiny and supervision of a committee of ticketholders. I have made the price of the ticket 55., so as to be within the means of everyone who can afford to speculate that amount for a chance of obtaining a valuable equivalent in the shape of what the eccentric Wcmmick describes as “portable property,” or £IOO in hard cash. The winning numbers will bo duly advertised as soon as the drawing is over. Orders for tickets by post, if accompanied by cheque or P. 0., will be attended to by return of post. The following is the list of prizes ; Prizes. Value. 382 prizes Value £IOOO Ticket* may bo obtained from Mr. Willeston, Lambton-qnay ; Mr. Gillespie, Shepherd’s Arms, Tinakori-road; Pier Hotel; Hr.
