on the day mentioned Juno fst.) The sale of
tickets at the Home Office has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations, but we have
been unable TO gather in full reports from out
the latest adVieas, many tickets uns0d.
The labor incident upon the drawing, 1t may
well be believed, is immense, as It ls our anx-

afford eVeTy facility for ticket holders to be
present at the drawing. We hope to accOmmO-

of these valuable prizes, and consequently must
ask a little more time in which to arrange it.
In order to effect this the MauaR ers announce
that the Drawing VIII take pl8ee 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. il is believed, will afford
room for all who desire to be present at the
drawing. .E sF .
We are unable TO tx positive date, but can
assure the public that it will not be remote IS

earliest possible moment, due notice OF which

Of which is now deposited among i've Of the
safest banking houses in tho 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
successful termination.
