GER riFlCATE
Richmond, I4th Nou 1898.
Having been requested by Mr. Archi-
bald M'lnlyre, the Manager Of The Guam
tico Canal Lottery, TO examine The prln.
cipIes in which Lotteries are formed by
! the combination of numbers, plas which
he purposes 10 pursue in raising the money
which be is authorised, by hIs contract
with the commissioners, to raise and
having attentive1y examined the princi-
| pies on which such Lotteries are formed :
We have no hesitation in declaring, that,
10 our view, the plan is perfectly tar and
correct. We have particularly examined
the scheme OF bis first clsss, consi,i,ng Of
{, $3.50 iCt els tormed blythe combination
OF 80 numbers: and find. that The amount
of the prizes which must, OF necessity, be
drawn herein, by the drawing offs out otthe
50 numbers. as proposed by the. scheme. is
deg, $3.50, which is the amount OF The 1850
tickets at the scheme price of DIG 90; con.
sequently, no other profit can accrue to
the said Commissioners, or to Mr.. Min
tyre on the sale OF all the tickets in the
scheme, at that price, than the Is per
cent. 10 be deducted from the prizes.
We are also Of opinion, this plan has a
decided preference over the old, on &C.
count of the celebrity and accuracy Of the
de,ern ination OF The prizes Ii precludes
the possibility Of the commission OF frauds
or mistakes in the drawing, and saves
much waste OF time and expense.
