GIGANTIC SCHEME,

on the day mentioned June lst.) The sale of
tickets at the Home Office has surpassed even
our own saagnine expectations, but we have
been unable to gather in full reports from out
side agencies, which had in their possession, at
the latest adVices, many tickets unsOld
The labor incident upon the drawing il may
well be believed, is immense, as il is our anx-
ious desire TO leave nothing undone which shall
present az the drawing. We hope to aceonmO-
date all who desire 70 witness the distribution
of these valuable prizes, and consequently must
ask little more time in which to arrange IT,
In order to effect this the Manas srs announce
that the Drawing WtIi take place Rt the
Skating Rink, corner Of Nineteenth
and Chestnut streets, in place OF the Mer-
camille Library Hall, &c heretofore announced
The Rink will accommodate from FIVE to eight
thousand persons and ii is believed will afford
Eoomfo ail who desire to be present at the
drawing.
We are unable to fix positive date, but can
assure the public that 1t Will not be remote, as
a very large proportion CT the tickets are sold,
OF ia the hands Of agents.
OIy orders by mail now exceed 500 per day,
not counting orders from agents. or sales at the
different sub city Offices; at this rate all the
tickets left will be disposed Of in short tiEae.
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 ut rest all cayil or fault finding, as II
| will render il impossible for them 20 have any
interest 10 the scheme beyond the disposal OF
| 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
