GIGANTIC SCHEME,

on the day mentioned June lst.) The sale Of
tickets at the Home Office has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations, but We have
been unable to gather 10 full reports from out
side agencies. which had 10 their possession, at
the latest advieas, many tickets unsOld.
The labor incident upon the drawing, it may
well be believed, Is immense. as 1t Is our anX-
iOus desire to 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 70 witness the distribution
Of these valuable prizes. and consequently must
ask a little more time in which to arrange il.
In order 10 effect this the ManaRers announce
that the Driving will take place 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 10 DO present at the
drawing.
We are unable to fix 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 viii 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 at rest all cayll or tault-hnding. as ii
interest in the scheme beyond the disposal of
the certificates.
Inc success OF the enterprise Is beyond all
doubt.
Parties who have already invested may rest
assured thai 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 return Of the money Ia 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,
10 remain there in trust for the safety Of ticket
holders until alter the drawing; AT the same
| time the Manager assures them that nothing CAN
| successful termination.
The Keys of the PaschRll House are now ii.
| the hands of Mayor Thomas-the house having
been vacated at q considerable pecuniary saeri-
| hee by the late proprietor, Alex. Kelsey, EsQ.,
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
