WEHAVE FOUND 1T UTTERLY IMPOS-
w sible to complete she arrangements
NECESSARY FOR THE DRAWING
or THIS
GIGANTIC SCHEME,

on the day mentioned June 1st) The sale of
tickets at the Home 0flee has surpassed even
our own sanguine expectations. but we have
been unable to gather IN full reports from out
side agencies. which had in their possession, at
the latest adVices. many tickets unsold.
The labor incident upon the drawing, il may
well be believed, is immense. as il is our anX-
ions desire TO leave nothing undOne which shall
afford every facility for ticket holders 10 be
present at the drawing. We hope to accOmmo-
date all who desire 70 witness the distribution
of these valuable prizes, and consequently must
ask little more time in which 10 arrange il.
In order 20 effect this the Manasers announce
that the Drawing will take place ut 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, it is believed will afford
room for all who desire to be present at the
drawing.
We are unable TO fix positive date, hut can
assure the public that it will not be remote, as
a very large proportion of the tickets are sold,
OF IN the hands Of agents.
Our orders by mail now exceed 800 per day,
not counting orders from agents. or sales at 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 to dis
pose of every ticket issued, believing that this
will put at rest all cavll or fault-fndlng. as it
will render it impossible for them TO have any
interest IN the scheme beyond the disposal of
the certificates.
The success of the enterprise is beyond all
doubt
Parties who have already invested may rest
assured that the drawing will take place at the
earliest possible moment, due notice of which
win be given in few days.
Tho Manager still guarantees to the holders
| of certificates return of the money in case of
any fixture 10 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 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 n
successful termination.
The keys of the Paschall House are now il
the hands of Mayor ThOmAs-the house having
been vacated at a considerable pecuniary sacri-
fee by the late proprietor. Alex. Kelsey, Esq =,
with n 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.
