GIGANTIC sCmEME

on the day mentioned June lst1 The sale of
tickets at the Home Office has surpassed even
been unable to gather in full reports from out
side agencies which had in their possession, at
the latest adyices, many tickets nnsold. ~
The labor incident upon the drawing il may
well be believed, Is immense. as it is our anx-
ious desire 20 leave nothing undone which shall
afford every facility for ticket holders to be
present at the drawing. We hope to aceommo-
date all Whodesire to witness the distribution
"a Of these valuable prIzes and consequently must
ask a little more tiTne in which to arrange IL.
In order to effect this the Manas ers announce
that The israwing VIII 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 to be present at the
drawing. -H. r-.-s- ...s.
We are unable 10 fix a positive date, but can
assure the public that it will not be remote, as
2 very large proportion Of the tickets are sold,
OF in the hands of agents
Oar 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 left 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 cayll or tault-hndlng, as 1t
will render il impossible for them TO have any
interest in the scheme beyond the disposal OF
the certificates.
Inc success OF the enterprise Is oeyohd al
doubt.
Parties who have already invested may rest
assured that the drawing will take place at the
earliest possible moment, due notice OF when
will be given in few days.
The Manager still guarantees to the holders
of certificates return of the money II case OF
any failure to effect the drawing, every dollar
of which is now deposited among i've OF the
snfest banking houses in the city of st: Louis,
to remain there in trust for the safety of ticket
holders until after the drawing; At the same
time the Manager assures them that nothing CAN
occur now to prevent the scheme coming to a
successful termination. 1890
The keys of the Paschall House are now IN
the hands of Mayor ThOmas-the nOuse having
been vacated at considerable pecuniary sacri-
hce 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
place, to be delivered to the rightful claimant,
as determined by the distribution.
