who drew out the ticket, when the number
was called out by one of the judges and if
prize that also and mentioned and noted
down. The girls at the wheels discharged
their duties faithfully, and for the part they
performed, were highly compIimented.
More than half of the tickets had been
drawn out before the piano was called, and
as soon as the number was announced.
which was pa, there was general anxiety
to ascertain who held the lucky number. 1t
was called out several times in the house,
but nobody responded The number was
posted conspicuOusly on the UNION AND
AMERICAN bulletin board, and "274" was
talked about all over the city, but the lucky
man was not to be found for upwards of an
hour.
1t was about o'clock in the evening,
when the individual holding PA made his
appearance up in town, and calling at Dor
mans music store, he presented his num-
Der, and BECAME satisfied that he was the
nan. Upon inquiry, his name was given
as James Woolford, residing at No. 265
South Cherry street, and foreman of Bus
tead's bakery. He is an EngIishman by
birth, and stout, hale, jolly good looking
individual, and looking as happy as a big
sunhower, when he learned that he was the
proprietor of frst-class grand piano, the
retail price of which is 81, 900. The in
strument was from the mandatory of f.
G. Smith 4 Co., New York, formerly Brad
bury's establishment, and furnished for
the occasion at low and very liberal
price.
The first question asked by Mr.. Wool
ford, when he ascertained that he had
drawn the piano was, well, Mister. is it
worth a S100?" Tine clerk responded
that be would give $500 for it. Mr.. Wool
ford said to his companion, 'tCome, JACK.
let's take a drink of beer ON that, " and he
and his partner started for saloon on the
opposite side of the street In addition to
the piano, Mr.. w. held another ticket,
which drew large size COW bell.
