It is confidently anticipated that No. 1 ef tbis Series will close, about tbe 26th of March. A satisfactory featose ia this a rangement will he that successful subscribers will be-in receipt of their good fortune so far m advance of the event as to enable them to again try tbeir luck, should they desire to do so. Immediately No. 1 is filled, the drawing will take place m a Pulic Hall (as usual), the result tele- , graphed to winners and posted to others, and No. 2 opened. By adopting this plan it will be seen that while the chances against subscribers are reduced ,— tbe^a wards -to—winners- re- , main very substantial. It has been suggested to us by numerous correspondents to adopt tbe plan of dividing the money amongst several events, known as the ''Oracle," but when we calculate the division of the money by that plan, and find the amounts for starters and non-. starters so very iocigoificant, we have determined to proceed upon a plan which will as far as possible reduce the chances against and still make it vtortb tekiie to be a winner. We would remind our patrons at a distance that while we have no objection to a good long letter, many of which we receive often, displaying literary attainments, it is not really necessary to do more than to supply a correct address, with, of course, the necessary amount. Companies sending for a book of 25 tickets will be allowed the usual agents' disconnt — vis., £l. North Island subscribers are particularly requested to make early application, so as to facilitate the first drawing. Please send P.O. Order where obtainable, or cheque with Is exchange added and two stamps for reply aud result. J.J.CONNOR, Treasures, ''Atmospheric" Printing Works, Oetngon, Dunedin. NOMINATIONS.
