JUDGE Phil. S. LAEHAM, Manager PasehalI
House Association Sir: We. the undersigned
citizens Of St. Louis. holding certificates in the
Paschall House AssOciR ton. and being inter-
ested In the successful termination and consum-
nation Of said scheme, learning that there are
yet In your possession and in the hands Of
, your agents. quite a number of tickets yet I'M
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 be
made to some time in the future sufficiently dis
tant to insare the sale entire Of sn the csrtih-
Gates. Moreover. quite & number of persons.
equally interested with ourselves, are now, and
will be, absent from the city during the hot
months. and it is the general desire on 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 mean 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 well as the integrity Of
every gentleman connected with the PaschaIl
House Association. In view Of these facts, we
would suggest that you make the postponement
to some time during the Fair week. in the
month Of October, BY which time, in our judg-
ment you will dispose of every ticket, which
we assure you. will give more general satisfac-
ton to all parties concerned.
With much respect We are. sir. truly your
friends. Sylvester II. Latin,

In accordance with the above request. and in
Justice to all parties concerned. the manager Is
compelled to announce a postpOnement in the
day for the drawing of the same from the LIST
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. ..f.s ....s
The number of tickets sent to the head Office |
from the different agencies. has been greater
than expected. 1t is of the first Importance to |
those who have invested in this enterprise. that
every ticket should be in the hands of bona |
tide 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 nov absent from the city, |
in attendance on the National Democratic Con- 4
vention. that assemblies in New York on the |
4th instant. Some of them will remain in the /
East during the greater part Of the summer, |
thus materially deranging any efforts that might
be made to bring tho drawing of at the time /
specified Aside from this, many Of the holders
of the tickets are. and will be. away from tho /
city during tho hot months. and the manager is /
DESTROYS that "a many of those interested as /
possible shall be pre- sent and witness the dis /
tributiOu of the prizes. Tho money heretofore |
received in payment Of tiekets is deposited |
among six of the safest banking houses in the |
city, and will remain there. together with ali |
sums hereafter received. until the day of the |
drawing. The keys sf the Paschsll House, |
and the title deeds to 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 Sh day of October, 1868.
Those holding tickets may rest assured that the |
drawing will not again be postponed. Tho man
ager is willing 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.
