The three preceding classes of the Quantico Ca

anu 'he reasons lor the change. The difference be-
tween the two consists in this: a Lottery ri OF
numbers by tcrnary combnatan, simply il is yoII
known, produces only 1926 tickets whilst onp bv
combination and Formulation, united, as the precp-
ding produces six times that number: thar il ~

500 tickets, and it is equally clear that there mus.

is--that If an adveuturcr wishes TO purchase uack
age of tickets, embracing all the combination n,nn
bers Of the lottery, he must take about twice tire
number oi tickets to embrace those numbers in n
lottery by combination alone, that he would in one
