FROM the N y. u0SnItI, NOV. ~.
On tho receipt of the above telegram in
this city announcing the winning mum.
bcrs in the lottery yesterday, considerable
interest was manifested among those who
held tickets; every man felt in his pocket
and eyed tho number thus specified. 1t is
needless to say that many were disaproint
ed. The subject Was the great topic OF
comment in Wall street yesterday astcr-
noon, especially among the German-Ameri'
can citizens. San Francisco being 4 great
financial centre, most Of the banks Of any
importance in New York have branch
houses there, which will readily account
for the deep interest manifested in Wall
street in the success of this lottery, which
is to provide San Francisco with a fine H.
brary. Tho story is very simple, and is
mainly as follows:
Mr.. Wormser, of the firm of William
Meyer & Co., of New York and San Fran.
cisco, purchased hundred tickets from
the lottery committee for himself and
friends, which were duly distributed. Mr..
Hellman, Of the Now Orleans branch o
the firm of J. & W. scligman & Co., was to
be counted in this arrangement, but was
making a tour of the fashionable watering
places when the distribution of tickets took
place by Mr.. Wormscr. When be applied
for his tickets he found they were all gone,
but Mr. E. II. BicLman spared him one
ticket from his lot. This ticket won the
100000 prize. Mr.. Bicdman originally
had twenty tickets, which cost him $1O0,
but the sale Of one ticket TO Mr.. -Hellnan
left his investment At ninety.fivc dollars.
His nineteen tickets drow prize of 800,
which shows net profit of five dollars to
Mr.. Bicderman. Mr.. Hellman's invest
ment of five dollars brought q return of
500, ,o0O In banking circles the affair was
looked upon as q generous and handsome
token of affection on the part Of Mr.. Bied.
erman towards Mr.. Hellm&n. This view of
tho case was strengthened by the fact that
Mr. Biederman picked the successful ticket
out of his lot for Mr.. Hcllman. It is sci.
dom that testimonials Of affection take 90
solid and valuable Z form as the above, and
therefore Mr. Bicalsrman was shoWSred will,
congratulations yesterday equally with Mr..
Holman. The Germans arc reported to
have taken so large srnumber of tickets be-
cause they considered the object as being q
laudable and necessary acquisition to San
Francisco. .sf1 sat Eaf. !a' &a.. /
