ING IS NOW OPEN I To a Purchaser of 26 Programmes one will bo given Gratis. 171 ROM 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. The Ninth Grand Drawing for £4,000, will close the end of June, and the Tenth Hamburg Drawing will open on the Ist July. This Ninth Grand Drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to £4,000, subscribed by 8000 members at 10a each. The various money prizes will be distributed as follows: 1 £3OO prize 110 £3O prizes ] 15 £ls prizes 1 £2OO prize } 15 £25 prizes J 160 £lO prizes 1 £IOO prize 15 £2O prizes | 100 £5 prizes 2 £SO prizes. | | Total amount, £4OOO, 320 money prizes. To a Purchaser of 25 Programmes one will be given Gratis. The Grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a Purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a Prize, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, aa there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones, To an investor of £2 the chanctß are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by an Investor cf 10s. Read This.—ln Boaz'a Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a Horse or Gash Prize in any of the Horse Consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the Cash Prizes, which givas 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 email prizes are informed that ihtsir names will not be made public without their written consent.
