tickets not presented.
1t will be particularly noticed that it is a mat
ter OF impossibilty for any one to know what
number draw gifts, as it 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 plainly printed, is taken from the
second wheel and opened in full view of the
| audience, therefore the largest gift may not
| come out till towards the last, or in the middle
ot the drawing. The 500, 900 gift in the San
Francisco Gift Concert, under the management
of G. R. Peters, was the 2O0th number drawn,
and was awarded and paid to gentleman in
New Orleans.
