/ ested in the successful termination and eOnsum-
nation of said scheme learning that there are
yet IN your Possession and in the hands Of
Your agents. quite number Of tickets yet IN
sold, would respectfully request that you post
| pore the drawing Of said scheme until ali ihe
| certificates shall have been sold We deem it
bat simple justice 10 ourselves. as interested

taht to insure the sale entire Of all the certif-
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
| emit in person to witness the distribution Of

any doubt as to the utmost fairness of said dis
tribution, for we assure You we place The utmost
confidence in yon, as well as the integrity Of

House Association. In view Of these facts, we
would suggest that you make the posfPonement

month of October. by which time. in our iudg-
ment you win dispose of every ticket. which

tion to all parties concerned.

In accordance with the above request. and in
Justice to all parties concerned, the manager is
compelled to announce a postpOasment Ia the
day for the drawing of the same from the LIST
day of July to the 9Th day of October next. be-
ing the fourth day Of the Annual Fair Of the
ST. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Asseci-
alton.
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
tde 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 tho hands of tho association
Hence the delay On or before the time speci-
fed. he is confident there viii not be a ticket
remaining unsOld. Many Of the gentlemen
Al, ~,
tend the drawing are now absent from the city,
in attendance on the National Democratic Cen
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 the drawing of at the time
specified. Aside from this, many Of the holders
of the tickets are, and will be. away from the
city during tho hot months, and the manager is
DESTROYS that as many Of those interested as
possible shall be pre- sent and witness the dis
tribution of the prizes. The money heretofore
received in payment Of tickets is deposited
among six of the safest banking houses in the
city, and will remain there together with all
sums hereafter received, until the day Of the
drawing. The keys Of the Paschail House,
and the title deeds to all the real estate en-
braeed 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 8th day Of October. 1865
Those holding tickets may rest assured that tho
drawing will not again be postponed The man
ager is willing to pledge himself that, in deiaRlt
Of the drawing coming off as stated, he viii rs-
turn the money to ali those holding certificates
who desire it.
