PaschalI HOnse ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

& IA of Drawing a s. LII
JUDGE Phil. S. LANHAM, Manager PaschsII
House Association SIR: We. the md srsiVned
citizens Of ST. Louis. holding certificates IN the
Paschall House Assoeia ton. and being inter
ested in the successful termination and consuu-
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
pone the drawing of said scheme until all the
certificates shall have been sold. We deem it
but simple justice to ourselves. as interested
parties. that the pOstponement requested be
made to some time in the future sufficiently dis
tsnt to insure the sale entire Of all the certih-
Gates. Moreover, quite a 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 70 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 Paschali
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 satisfae-
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 q postpOnement in the
day for the drawing of the same from the lst
day of July to she 9Th day Of October next, be-
ing the fourth day of the Annual Fair Of the
St Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Asseei-
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 a bona
fds 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 speei-
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 now absent from the city
in attendance on the National Democratic Con-
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 viii be. away from the
city during the hot months. and the manager is
desirous that as many of those. interested as
possible shall be present 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 Pasehall 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 Sth day Of October. 1865
Those holding tickets may rest assured that the
drawing will not again be postponed The man
ager is willing to pledge himself that, in default
of the drawing coming off as stated, he will re-
turn the money to all those holding certificates
who desire it.
