! House Association SIR: We, the undersigned
citizens Of st. Louis, holding certificates in the
| Paschall House Associa ton, and being inter-
ested in the successful termination and eonsum-
NATION Of said scheme, learning that there are
yet an your possession and in the hands of
your agents. qaite number of tickets yet IN
Sold would respectfully request that you post
Pone the drawing Of said scheme until all the
eeFt'heates 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 ali the certih-
Gates Moreover. quite q number of persons.
equally interested with ourselves, are now, and
will be. absent from the city during the hot
months. and !. is the general desire on the part
OF the tieket-holders. that they should be pres
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
trihution. for we assure you we place the utmost
confidence in you. as well as the integrity Of
every gentleman connected with the Paschal
House Association. In view Of these 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 satisfac-
ton TO all parties concerned. bra
With much respect, We are, sir, truly your
friends. Sylvester H. Laain,

In accordance with the above request. and in /
justice to al parties concerned, the manager Is
compelled to announce q postponement in the /
day for the drawing Of the same from the LIST /
day Of July to tho 9Th day Of October next, be-
ing the fourth day Of the Annual Fair Of the |
st. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Asssci-
alton.
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 iARested in this enterprise. that
every ticket should be in the hands Of bona
fde holder. thus securing every prize to ticket
holder, and preventing the possibility Of dis
trust in the public mind. The 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 there will not be ticket
unsold. Many Of the gentlemen
who we're to compose the committee to superin-
tend the drawing are now absent from the city.
in attendance on the National Democratic Con-
vention that assemblies in New York on the
ith 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 of at the time
specified. Aside from this. many Of the bolders
Of the tickets are, and viii be, away from the
lily during the hot months. and the manager is
iesirous that as many of those interested as
possible shall be present and witness the dis
ribution of the prizes. The money heretofore
received in payment Of tickets is deposited
lmong six Of the safest banking houses in the
,ity, and will remain there, together with all
ums hereafter received, until the day of the
lrawing. The key Of the Paschall House,
IND the uue deeds 10 ali tue rear estate en- |
,raced in the scheme, are also deposited in the
lands of Mayor Thomas There can, therefore,
20 no possible doubt of the success of the
cheme, and tho manager assures the public
hat the distribution will positively take place 1

Those holding tickets may rest assured that the
lrawing will not again be postponed The man
ger is willing to pledge himself that. in default
# the drawing coming off as stated. he will re-
urn the money to all those holding certificates
Who desire it. .
