tary due tickets not presented
1t will be particularly noticed that it is mat
ter of impossibility for any one to know what
numbers draw gifts, as it is not known what the
ft.ofany number drawn from the1irst wheel will
be- until the sealed box with amount of the gift
plainly printed, is taken from the other wheel
and opened in full view of the audience, therefore
the larger gifts may not come out until towards
the last, or in the middle of the drawing. The
100000 gift i'll the San Francisco Gift Concert,
under the management Of g. II. PETERS, was
the 200th number drawn, and was awarded and
paid to a gentleman in New Orleans. t721 Gifts
