"E HAVE FOUND 1T UTTERLY IMPOs
w sibIe TO complete Abe arrangements
NECESSARY ron THE DRAWING
GIGANTIC SCHEME.

on the day mentioned June lst) The sale Of
tickets ri the Home Office has surpassed even
our own sangnine expectations, but we have
been unable to gather in full reports from out
side agencies, which had IN their possession, at
the latest adVlces, many tickets unsOld.
The labor incident upon the drawing, il may
well be believed. Is immense, as tits our anK
ions desire to leave nothing uud0ne which shall
afford every facility for ticket holders 10 be
present at the drawing We hOpetO 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 Rt 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 ID believed, will afford
room for all who desire to be present at the
drawing.
We are unable to ix positive date, but can
assure the public that il will not DO remote, as
a very large proportion OF the tickets are sold,
or In the hands of agents.
Our orders by mail now exceed $50 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 at rest all cayil or tault-fnding, as 1t
| will render it impossible for them 10 have any
interest in the scheme beyond the disposal OF
| the certificates.

dOubt.

| assured that the drawing will take place at the
! earliest possible moment due notice OF which
