THE fubferibers having heretofore, in their
addresses to the public, repeatedly flared
th3 pu<pofes for which the Legislature of Maffa
chef its granted a Lottery to the prietors pro of

necessary again to make the repetition, when pre

year after the drawing, will not be paid, bat con
fidcred as gcneroo{ly given for the parpefe for
which the Lottery was grant'd.
The time expended in drawing this Class will
not exceed 40 days, and to prevent any misun
derstanding in regard to .he fortunate Tickets
which depend on the tenth, fifteenth, twentieth,
twenty-fifth, thirtieth, thirty fifth and fortieth

and intention of the fubferibers that the drawing

of a day, and that the fortunate blanks willl
be thole, which (ball come out of the wheel re
cording to this rate of drawing," whether the
work of two days be done th one or not.
The Managers have as the law direa^entered
into Bonds for the faithful performance of the
duty alhgried them—:thev vill fen appoint and
announce <o the public, an early day on which
to commence the drawing, and as they have not
accudomed ihemfelves i^ieiofore to disappoint
those who have so liberally adventured in the
former C!aff $ by any paltry pretences sot evad
ing the'r profile, —they engage not to deceive
them in regard to this Clots.

not acquainted with me, except (he one from

I was accußomed to attend horse rates, &c.
They all received a reprimand from the judge of
Admiralty, who obfer&d that my condu& in

ar the table of the judge of admiralty, with the

me in an eftablifbment or the nut Ryle, but the
unexpected declaration of Peace com.ng at a mo
