lucky and the management of the Gift Concert
announce the postponement of the Fourth Gift
Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst Of March next.
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this postponement u ecessary.
The financial panic, which has for the last two
months paralyzed the business OF every section
of this country and Europe, has preventel thou
sands from investing in tickets. The epilemics
pervading almost the entire South, have cut Off
large and available market And too. the
have expected poslponement, and have declin-
of the drawing taking place on hved day.
All interested desire IL full drawing, but for
the reasons just stated this could not no had on
Bird of December, but the short pos,ponement now
announced will secure it.
The management have m,i with unprecedented
success. The sales OF tickets. the proceeds of
which have already beenFreoeireJ, amount 10 o.
million dOlars, with number OF agen cies
in this country yet ~ hcII from and MI those in
Europe.
Thus a drawing Sealing The gifts one half)
could be had now, but the infringement deem il
best to have postponement and fuH drdving
This pOstppnsment assures tie sale Of all the
Hrtc's and FULL DRAWING. That this de.
termination will meet with the appreciation of
nearly every one interested is made apparent by
the very numerous letters received from every
section OF this country anl the CaaalaI asking
for postponement.
This action OF the N lnagement will work no
dctrimeni to any, but will he for the good Of all
by it the fortunate ticket.hoders will receive
their gifla in full, while II will not affect those
who DO not draw gifls.
In making this announcement the management
oayhH,rIIy state HN hsTt shall he no Jurt,sr

mperatively required to close up aud transmit
