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 LIST
day of July to the 9Th day of October next, be-
ing the fourth day of the Annual Fair of the
St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Asseci-
alton.
The number Of tickets sent TO the head Office |
from the different agencies. has been greater
than expected. 1t is of the first importance to
those who have invested in this enterprise, that
tide 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, be is confident there will not be a ticket
remaining unsOld. Many of the gentlemen
who were 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
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 the manager assures the public
that the distribution will positively take place
at the Skating Rink. corner of Nineteenth and
ChestRnt streets. on the Sth day of October, 1868
Those holding tickets may rest assured that the
drawing will not again be postponed. The man
ager is willing to pledge himself that in default
of the drawing coming off as stated. he will re-
turn the money to all those holding certificates
who desire it. .r.s. ...a.a
