nor Bramlette, manager Of the third
Gift Concert in aid Of the Public Library
Of Kentucky, which will interest that
large number OF our readers who hold
tickets in this enterprise. There is now
no longer any doubt that all the tickets
will be sold, as there are only limited
number left, and these are being rapidly
carried of by orders flowing in through
the mails and express. There will be
$500, 900 in cash distributed by lot among
the ticket holders at this Grand Gift
Concert, July sth, and Governor Bran
lette is determined, not only that the dis
tribution shall be fairly made, but that
the ticket holders shall have every op.
portunity to satisfy themselves that it
is so.
He invites them all to n meeting on
the LIST Of July, to select a committee to
cooperate with that appointed by the
trustees TO see that every ticket is prop
erly represented in the drawing. The
card speaks for ITSELF and is the best ey-
idence Of his determination that every.
thing pertaining to the affair shall be
fairly and satisfactorily conducted.
That everything will be fairly done, and
that those only who are entitled to the
gifts as determined by honest lot will
get them, all may rest assured.
CARD.
So soon as the management became
satisfied that all the tickets of the Third
Gift Concert for the benefit Of the Pub
lie Library would be sold, thay set aside
100000 as special deposit, in the
Farmers and Drovers Bank, pledged TO
pay all the ten thousand offered gifts in
full, aud fixed Thursday, July 9th, as
the day on which the concert and draw
ing should positively and unequivocally
come off. Only a limited number OF
tickets are now left, and these are so
rapidly going of by mail or express to
all parts Of the country, that there is no
longer any doubt as to the disposition of
the last one OF them. Arrangements
are completed for full drawing July
9Th, and the payment of all the gifts
without discount beginning July 18th.
Everything has been done to insure a
fair distribution of the gifts and to
satisfy all reasonable ticket-holders. Yet
the distribution by lot Of half million Of
money among the ticketholders is ofsuch
magnitude and such an unprecedented
event, that the management have deter
mined to place every one interested in
position to see in person or by chosen
representative, just how a straight.out
distribution of money by lot is con-
Quoted. The ticketholders of the whole
country are therefore invited to meet in
person or by chosen representatives in
the Public Library Hall, at Louisville,
KY, on Tuesday, July LIST, at twelve
O. clock, for the purpose of appointing a
committee of FIVE to act in CONJUNCTION
with the committee appointed by the
trustees, whose duty it will be to see that
all the tickets sold are represented in the
drawing. After the distribution is over,
the great wheel containg the undrawn |
tags will be placed in the hands of this |
joint committee, who can count the tags |
and learn to certainty as to whether |
all the tickets sold were fairly repre-.
scented in the drawing.
