GIGANTIC SCHEME,

on the day mentioned June 1st) The sale Of
tickets at the Home Once has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations, but we have
been unable 10 gather in full reports from out
side agencies. which had In their possession, at
the latest adviees, many tickets unsOld.
The labor incident upon the drawing, ii may
well be believed, is immense, as it is our anx-
iOus desire to leave nothing undone 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 little more time in which to arrangeit.
In order to effect this the ManaRers announce
that the Drawing Will lake place at the
Skating Rink, corner of Nineteenth
and Chestnut streets. in piece of the Mer-
camille Library Hall, as heretofore announced.
The Rink will accommodate from FIVE to eight
thousand persons, and, 1t is believed, will afford
drawing.
We are unable to fix positive date. but can
assure the public that it will not be remOte, as
a very large proportion Of the tickets are sold,
or in the hands of agents.
Our orders by mail now exceed 300 per day,
not counting orders from ayents 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 20 dis
pose OF every ticket issued, believing that this
will put at rest all cavil or fauit-fnding as it
will render it impossible for them to have any
interest IN the scheme beyond the disposal of
the certificates. ErErs- & q -se7s-- s~-Ftl-
Inc success OF tho enterprise Is beyond all
doubt.
Parties who have already invested may rest
insured 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 tho safety of ticket
holders until after the drawing. At the same
| time the Manager assures them that nothing CAN
| occur now 10 prevent the scheme coming to a
| successful termination. ea- t's Ff - l"H"
The keys of the Paschall House are now ia
| the hands of Mayor ThOmas-the house having
| been vacated at considerable pecuniary sacri-
nee by the late proprietor, Alex. Kelsey, Esq g..
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 tho Mayor, all Of which are to
