Public Announcements. S PORTING N E W S. m" SECOND GRAND DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. First Drawing for £2,000 on the Hamburg principle filled up before the advertised time. The money will be returned for the large number of applications that came too late for the first drawing, or Programmes will be forwarded for second drawing. The second drawing is* now open for the grand and equal distribution of money prizes, amounting to £3OOO, to be drawn the same as in Hamburg and other Continental Cities. This second drawing will take place not later than the end of April, or earlier if filled, and the third drawing will open Ist May. These grand drawings will take place every two months. Over 3000 applications for programmes are now registered for the second drawing. The company were induced to make this second drawing for L3QOO, in consequence of the first drawing having filled so rapidly ; also to enable 'diem to give larger prizes. This second drawing will consist of 240 money prizes, amounting to L3OOO, subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various money prizes will be distributed as follows : 1 L3OO prize 10 L3O prizes 20 LI 5 prizes 1 Ll6O prize 4L 25 prizes 65 LlO prizes 1 LIOO prize 20L20 prizes 116 L 5 prizes 2 L6O prizes Total amount, L3OOO. 240 Money Prizes The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 Programmes is guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 25 numbers,and the chances a> 3 in favour of the investor drawing a large piize, as there are 124 large prizes against 116 small ones. To any investor of £2 tiie chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. The large bulk of the Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the L3OOO is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every j shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg drawing is on the most nov'i'i "“d .'N“ t..q on the ost principle possible, so as w entire public satisfaction. This second drawing for L 3,000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
