House Association Sir: We, the undersigned
citizens Of st. Louis. holding certificates in the
Paschall House Association, and being inter
ested in the successful termination and consum
nation Of said scheme learning that there are
yet in your possession and in the hands of
your agents, quite a number Of tickets yet IN
sold would respectfully request that you post
pone the drawing of said scheme until all the
certificates shall have been sold. We deem it
but simple justice TO ourselves as interested
parties, that the pOstpOnement requested be
made to some time in the future sufficiently dis
tant to insure the sale entire of all the certif-
Gates Moreover, quite a number Of persons,
equally interested with ourselves, are now. aud
win be, absent from the city during the hot
months, and it is the general desire on the part
Of the ticket. holders that they should be pros
ent in person to witness the distribution Of
prizes. Do not think, sir. that We mean to infer
any doubt as to the utmost fairness Of said dis
tributiOn, for We assure you we place the utmost
confidence in yOus as we'll as the integrity OF
every gentleman connected with the Paschali
House Association. In view of those facts, we
would suggest that you make the pOstponement
to some time during the Fair week, in the
month of October, by which time, in our judg-
ment, you will dispose of every ticket, which
We assure you, will give more general satisfae-
tion to all parties concerned.
With much respect, We are, sir, truly your
friends. Sylvester H. Latin,

In accordance with the above request. and in
Justice to all parties concerned. the manager is
compelled to announce a pOstPOnement in the
day for the drawing Of the same from the lst
day Of July to the Sth day of October next, be
ing the fourth day Of the Annual Fair of the
st. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Associ

The number Of tickets sent to the head Office
from the different agencies. has been greater
than expected. It is of the first Importance to
those who have invested in this enterprise. that
every ticket should be in the hands of bona
Jfde holder thus securing every prize to a ticket
holder, and preventing the possibility of dis
trust in the public mind. Tho manager is de-
termined every ticket shall be disposed of-none
remaining in the hands Of the association.
Hence the delay. On or before the time speci-
fed. he is confident theremill not be ticket

yention. shat assemblies in New York on the
4th instant. Some of them will remain in the
East during the greater part of the summer,
thus materially deranging any efforts that might
be made to bring the drawing off at the time
specified, Aside from this, many of the holders
of the tickets are, and will be, away from the
city during the hot months, and the manager is
DESTROYS that as many of those interested as
possible shall be pre- sent and witness the dis
tributiOn Of the prizes, The money heretofore
received in payment Of tickets is deposited
among six Of the safest banking houses in the
city, and Will remain there, together with all
sums hereafter received, until the day of the
drawing. The keys Of the Paschall House,
and the title deeds to all the real estate en-
braCed in the scheme, are also deposited in the
hands of Mayor Thomas There can, therefore,
be no possible doubt of the success of the
scheme, and tho manager assures the public
that the distribution will positively take place
at the Skating Rink, corner Of Nineteenth and
Chestnut streets, on the Sth day of October, 1863
Those holding tickets may rest assured that the
i L
ager is willing to pledge himself that. in default
of the drawing coming off as stated, he win re-
turn the money to all those holding certificates
who desire 1t.
