an those three the LIST, Sd and 18th, viii he en-

to prize Of So.
| No tickpt Which shall have drawn a prize of n su-
perior denomination be entitled to an inferior
priZel
| Prizes payable 80 days after the drawing and
| subject as usual To deduction of Is per cent.
| The three preceding classes of the Quantico Ca
nal Lottery were by combination alone; and this
! being by combination and perturbation, il may be
proper to the difference between the two plans
and the reasons for the change. The difference be-
tween the two consists in this Lottery of 81
numbers by tcrnary combinatian simply, il is we'll
known, produces only 1926 tickets, whilst one by
combination and perinuta ton united, as the prece-
ding, produces six times that number that is TO
say, every ternary combination is capable of five
changes. For instance, the ternary combination l,
! z, 8, may be varied thus: !, 3,2-2, ,3I2, 3, l.
3, /, 2-3, 9, land so may every other ternary
| combination in any set of numbers be varied in
like manner. Hence, il is clear, that as q num-
bers by tcrnary combination produce 1926 tickets
they must by tcrnary combination and permata :
ton united, produce six times that number, or IT,
$50 tickets, and it is equally clear that there must
be six times the number of blanks and prizes in the
scheme, that there would be, If it were formed by
combination alone.
| The advantages of Il lottery by Formulation over
one by combination arc, that onc-sixth the auaui-
~ of numbers Will Produce given num-
Der of tickets and of prizes and blanks; and that,
therefore, fewer are wanting for the wheel fewer
be drawn out, and consequently fewer TO load the
memory with, when tickets are presented after the
drawing to ascertain their fate. Another advantage
ls-that II an advchturer wishes To purchase rack
age OF tickets, embracing all the combination num-
bers of the lottery, he must take about twice the
number of tickets to embrace those numbers i'm a
lottery by combination alone, that he would III one
by combination and Formulation.
