JUDGE Phil. s. LAEHAN, Manager Pasehall
House Association Sir We, the undersigned
citizens of St. Louis holding certificates in the
Paschall House Association. and bs;ns inter-
eSted in the successful termination and eonsuus-
nation Of said scheme, learning that there are
Jet in your possession and in the hands Of
] your agents quite a number Of tickets yet I'M
1 sold, would respectfully request that you post
pOne the drawing Of said scheme until all the
certificates shall have been sold. We deem Il
| but simple justice TO ourselves. as interested
/ parties. that the pOstpOnement requested DO
made to some tins in the future sufficiently dis
tant to insure the sale entire Of all the certih-
cafes. Moreover, quite number Of persons,
equally interested with ourselves, are now. and
viii be. absent from the city during the hot
months and it is the general desire en- the part
of the ticket holders. that they should be pres
ent in person to witness the distribution Of
prizes. Do not think, sir. that We moan to infer
any doubt as to the utmost fairness of said dis
tributiOn. for We assure you we place the utmost
confidence in you, as wen as the integrity Of
every gentleman connected with the Paschan
House Association. In view Of these facts, We
Would suggest that you make the postponsment
to some time during tho Fair week. in the
month of October, by which time, in our judg-
ment. you will dispose OF every ticket which
We assure yen, will give moro general sstisfac-
ton to all parties concerned.
With much respect VIC are. sir. truly your
friends. Sylvester H. haain.

In accordance with the above request. and in
Justice TO all parties concerned. the manager i
compelled to announce q pOsgp0nement 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 Asset
alton.
The number Of tickets sent TO the head Office
from the different agencies, has been greater
than expected. II is Of the first importance to
those who have invested in this enterprise. thai
every ticket should be in the hands Of bono
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 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 Com |
vention, that assemblies 10 New York on the /
4th instant. Some of them win remain in the |
East during the greater part Of the summer, /
thus materially derangiRg any efforts that might /
be made to bring the drawing of at the time |
specified Aside from this many Of the holders |
of the tickets are, and will be, away from the 1
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 10 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 /
Chestnut streets. on the 8th day of October, 1868
Those holding tickets may rest assured that the /
drawing will not again be postponed The man |
aeer is Wiling to pledge himself that in default
of the drawing coming of as stated he will re- |
turn the money to all those holding certificates |
who desire it. /
