But carefully note some of the Horse Consultations on the Melbourne Cup, advertising 20,000 members at 10s each, equal to £10,000. The Cup gives 133 nominations, so that the odds are over 150 to 1 against an investor drawings horse. Now take the Cash Prizes drawn at the same time, and calculate the odds ; you will find in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to 5000 to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Pbize. The whole 20,000 marbles are advertised to be replaced for each Drawing of the Cash Pbizes, which give the enormous odds against investors. T/ie Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultation ; and the Company would not presume to tell tbe public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of lOe. This Fifth Grand Drawing for £4000 will take place under the supervision of a committee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after tbe drawing.
