50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 40,0000
N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of th
Tickets,the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the last drawn
ticket, and the 30,000 the last but one :
And approved notes, securing payment in either money
»r prizes, in ten days atter drawing, will be received for
any numbea not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri
vate buildings to be ere&ed in the City of Washington—
Two beautiful designs are already fel'&ed for the entire
fronts on two of the public squares; from these prawmgs —
it is proposed to erect two centre and four c orner buildings,
as soon as poflible after this lottery is fold, and to convey
them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in p
the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery.
A Rett dedadion of five per cent, will be made to defray "
the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus
will be made a part of the fund intended for the National 111
University, to be ereded within the city of Washington. ar
The Drawing will commencd as soon as the tickets are w
fold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days
after it is ; and any prizes for which fortunate u
numbers aie not produced within twelve months after the cc
drawing is ctofcd, are to be considered as given towards in
the fund for the Uniwrfity ; it bc-ng.determined to fettle
the v. hole business in a year from the ending of the draw
ing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real fecuritics given for the payment of the Prizes, c<
3re held by the President and two Diredors of the Bank
of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the a- _
mount ot the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of
the late Commiflioners aflifttd in the management of the
Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous talk 4
a second time on behalf of the public ; a fuflicient num
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the
friends to a National University and the other federal ob- •.
jeds may continue to favor the design. J
By accounts received from the diflerent parts of the c
Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets
have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the
drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and
caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fafe disposal of j
the tickets, has rendered the fnor' fufpeufion indispensable.
