GIGANTIC SCHEME.

on the day mentioned June 1st) The sale Of
tickets at the Home Office has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations, but we have
side agencies which had in their possession, at
the latest adVicas, many tickets unsOd.
The labor incident upon the drawing, it may
well be believed, is immense. as II Is our anx-
iOus desire to leave nothing undDne which shall
afford every facility for ticket holders to be
present at the drawing. We hope to accommO-
date all who desire to witness the distribution
of these valuable prizes, and consequently must
ask a little more time in which to arrange IL.
In order to effect this the Manag ers announce
that the Drawing will take place at the
Skating Rink, corner of Htneteenth
and Chestnut Streets in place of tho Mer-
camille Library Hall, as heretofore announced.
The Rink viii accommodate from five to eight
thousand persons, and, it is believed will afford
room. for all who desire to be present at the
drawing.
We are unable to fix a positive date, but can
assure the public that il will not be remote, as
a very large proportion Of the tickets are sold,
OF in the hands OF agents.
Our 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 a short time.
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 at rest all cayil or fault-fnding, as it
will render it impossible for them TO have any
interest IN the scheme beyond the disposal OF
the certificates.
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
will be given in few days.
The Manager still guarantees to the holders
OF certificates a return of the money In case OF
any failure to effect the drawing, every dollar
of which is now deposited among FIVE Of the
safest banking houses in the 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 70
successful termination.
The keys of the Paschali House are now In
the hands of Mayor Thomas-the house having
been vacated at q considerable pecuni6ry sacrl-
fee by the late proprietor, Alex: Kelsey. Esql
with bill of sale. including the furniture. and
fixtures of every variety contained in the hotel.
The title deeds to the other real estate are also
deposited with the Mayor, all of which are to
be held by him until after the drawing takes
place, to be delivered to the rightful claimant,
as determined by the distribution.
