SPORTINpI^EWS. SECOND GRAND DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. FIRST Drawing for £2000 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, ot programmes will be forwaded for Sicund Drawing. The Second Drawing is now open, for the grand and equal distribution of Money Prizes amounting to £'3000, to be drawn the same as in Hamburg and other Continental. Cities. This Second Drawing will take place notlater that the end of April, or earlier if Hilled, and the Third Drawing will open Ist May. These Grand Drawings wil take place every two months. Over 3COC applications for programmes are now registered for the becond Drawing. The Company were induced to make this Second I rawing for L3OOO in consequence of the first drawing having filled so rapidly, also to enable them to give larger prizes. The Second Grand Drawing will consist of 240 Mu ey Phizes, amounting toLSOOO, subscribed by 6000 members at 10/- each. The various Money Prizes will be distributed as follows : — 1 L3OO Prize 4 L 25 Prizes 1 150 „ 20 20 „ 1 100 „ 20 15 „ 2 00 „ 65 10 „ 10 30 „ 116 5 „ Total Amount, £3000. 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 are in favour of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 124 large prizes against 116 small ones. To any investor of L 2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and tho Head Prize or any other may be drawn by any investor^ol. 10/. ihe large bulk of the Money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one . big prize, as itis in the Horse Consultations, but you will observe in this Hamburg Drawing that the L3OOO is fairiy propor- ■ tioned into 240 Prizes, giving every i shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Htmbvrti Drawing is on the most i novel, and will be conducted on the fairest pilncple possible, so as to give entire > ; p iblic satisfaction. > ihis Second I (rawing for L3OOO will take place under the supervision of a comJ mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes I will be paid over a3 early aa possible after ' the drawing.
