1t viii. be particularly noticed that it isl mat
ter Of impossibiiy for any one to know what
number draw gifts, as II is not known what the
gift of any number drawn from the first wheel
will be, until the sealed box, with the amount
of the gift pl ,inly printed, is taken from the
second wheel ard opened in full view of the
audience, therefore the largest gift may not
come ont till towards the last or in the middle
OF the drawing. The $780, 900 gift in the San
Francisco Gift Concert, under the management
of c. r. Peters, was the 200th number drawn,
and was awarded and paid to a gentleman in
New Orleans.
