Those of our readers who still hold coupons should lose no time in getting them changed into tickets. If yon have not time to bring them to our publishing office post them to us, and we shall carefully allot one ticket for every eight conpons. Extra tickets are allotted to subscribers whose subscriptions are paid np to date, in the proportion of twelve tickets for a year's subscription, five tickets for six months, and two tickets for three months. Subscribers should therefore be careful in seeing that their subscriptions are paid up to date. Default in this respect may cost them a magnificent piano. Subscribers who live in. country districts, who cannot reach us by'post before Tuesday, may wire to us before 5 p.m. on the day that their subscription has been posted, and this will be sufficient. On receipt of the telegram, we shall allot their tickets.
