NECESSARY FoR TmE DnAwING
GIGANTIC sCmEME

on the day mentioned June lst) The sale of
tickets at the Home Ohfee has surpassed even
our own sanguine, expectations, but We have
been unable to gather in full reports from ont
side agencies. which had 10 their possession. nj
the latest adVicGs many tickets unsOId
The labor incident upon the drawing il may
wei pc beheYed, IS immense as It is our anx-
ious desire to leave nothing undone which shall
Afford every facility for ticket holders To be
present at the drawing. We hope to aecommO-
date all who desire to witness the distribution
OF these valuable prizes, and consequently must
ask little more time in which to arrange H.
In order to effect this the MANAGERS announce
that the Drawing Will take place at the
Skating Rink, corner of Nineteenth
and Chestnut streets, in place of the Mer-
camille Library Hall as heretofore announced.
The Rink will accommodate from FIVE to eight
thousand persons and. it is believed, will afford
room for all who desire to be present at the
drawing.
We are unable to FIX positive date. but can
assure the public that it will not be remote, rs
very large proportion of the tickets are sold,
or in the hands of agents.
Our orders by mail now exceed 800 per day,
not counting orders from agents. or sales at the
different sub city Offices; at this rate all the
tickets lett will be disposed of in a short time
The Manager, and those associated with him.
IN order TO give entire satisfaction desire to dis
pose OF every ticket issued, believing that this
will put at rest all cayil or fault finding, as il
will render it impossible for them TO have any
interest in the scheme beyond the disposal Of
the certificates. ...
The success of the enterprise is beyond all
doubt.
Parties who have already invested may rest
assured that the drawing will take place at the
earliest possible moment due notice of which
will be gwen In few days.
me Manager still guarantees to the holders
OF eeruhcates return of the money in case Of
any failure TO effect the drawing, every dollar
of which Is now deposited among FIVE Of the
safest banking houses IN the city of st. Louis,
to remain there in trust for the safety of ticket
holders until after the drawing. At the same
time the Manager assures them that nothing CAN
occur now to prevent the scheme coming to a
successful termination.
The keys of the PaschaIl House are now IT,
| the hands of Mayor Thomas-the house having
been vacated at a considerable pecuniary sacri-
/ fee by the late proprietor Alex. Kelsey, Esq,
with bill of sale, including the furniture. and
fixtures OF every variety contained in the hotel.
The title deeds to the other real estate are also
| deposited with the Mayor all of which are to
| be held by him until after the drawing takes
place, to be delivered to the rightful claimant,
as determined by the distribution.
