GIGANTIC SCHEME,


on the day mentioned June lst.) The sale Of
tickets atthe Home Office has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations, but We have
been unable to gather in full reports from out
side agencies. which had in their possession. ut
the latest advices, many tickets unsold.
The labor incident upon the drawing, II may
well be believed. is immense. as il is our anx-
ious desire 10 leave nothing undOne which shall
afford every facility for ticket holders 10 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 little more time in which to arrange it.
In order to effect this the Manag ers announce
that the Drawing viii take place mt 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, ii Is believed, will afford
room for all who desire to be present st the
drawing.
are unable to e positive date, but can
assure the public that it will not be remote, as
very large proportion Of the tickets are sold,
or 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 lett will be disposed of in 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 arrest all cayil or fault-fnding, as il
will render il impossible for them TO have aHy
interest in the scheme beyond the disposal OF
Tho 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 q few days. '-
The Manager still guarantees TO the holders
of certificates 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 to
successful termination.
The keys of the PaschRH House are now II

been vacated at considerable pecuniary sacri-
fee by the late proprietor, Alex. Kelsey, ESQ
