who are the Lucky Ticket-hoIders in
LOuisviIIe's ssGfft COneerts''
Memphis claims to have drawn all or
nearly all of the capital prize, as viii be
seen from our dispatches this morning. The
Louisville Courier-JOtundl of the 1st inst.
says:
Nearly all the lucky numbers, so far as
heard from, We're held by clubs, sometimes
In whole, but generally in fractional tick
cts. Here and there was found the holder
of winning tenth, FIFTH, or half ticket,
rarely ever whole one. 1t is somewhat
remarkable that so many of the lucky tick
cts We're held by people in the country and
that large proportion of the number who
came especially to attend the drawing were
not disappointed, and in some instances
took away large prizes.
Among this class OF persons was Mr.. J.
T. Pancake, of Columbus, Ind. 1t VIII be
remembered that in the second drawing he
belonged TO club of ten in that place who
drew the capital prize of $4,000. Yester-
day Mr.. Pancake attended the drawing with
winning tickets to the amount OF $3.50. He
went home last night to break the good
news to lis family and friends. i -
Mr.. Snyder, of Cincinnati, drew $50.
He was registered at the United States ho-
tel last night.
Ir, W. I. Nif, of Elizabethtown, drew
S75, He is also in the city.
Or. j. Mitchell, of Beaverdam, Ohio
county, KY, drew $500 on tenth ticket
in the $4,000 prize. Mr.. Thomas Ste
phens, of the same place, representing a
club of several gentlemen, all Of whom were
interested in another tenth of the same
ticket, drew $500. The rumOr which was
current that Mr.. Stephens had drawn S15,-
600 was incorrect. DR.. Mitchell and sew
eral members of the club were at the Lou
iSEille Hotel last night.
J. N. Copeland, of Franklin, KY, held
fifth of ticket which drew $37,500, and
$500 was his share.
7. j. Kelly, of Hardyville, Ky., drew
$500. A. T. Davis, of Hart county, drew
several hundred dollars. Both gentlemen
are stopping at the Central Hotel. As Mr..
Davis was out enjoying his good fortune
last night, the reporter could not ascertain
the exact amount of his success.
IN THE CITY
the successful tickets, as a rule, were
divided into so many small fractions that
1t was extremely difficult to find the hold
ers. Consequently we have but few rucky
ones to report.
Mr.. A. a. Gosnel drew $3.50 on the
S1S,750 prize.
An East End club of ten drew $500.
Mrs. Walter Overton, together with a
clHO of five ladies, drew S225.

persons, and made up at Dake's book store,

lars was drawn by Mr.. EolImers baby.

nation. a club at Coggshall, Bell 4 Co.'S

$3.50 PRIZE.
Mrs. Hamilton Zane, at the Gait House,
drew a prize of 8, 80.
J. A Coriey, who does business at 164
Jefferson street. claims to bold ticket 55,-
103, which lacks but one of being the num-
ber that drew the capital prize. Mr.. Cor
ley held share in a ticket that drew S225.
In Colgan's ''nickel Club of one thOus-
and persons, there were ten different num-
bers, each being one-tenth Of a ticket.
Three of these We're approximate to the
capital prize, making Sl5 to be divided
among one thousand persons; and the ques-
tiOn now is how it is to be divided equally
among all. One the nickel club '.hOld-
ers" sent the following postal card to Mr..
Colgan yesterday:
'Mr. COlgan:-Will you please let me
know if am in the nickel club No. or
>; whichever one it is please send me the
numbers Of the tickets, and also let me
know if the certificates YOU send me will
let me into the concert, for my wife and
are very fond of music. If they won't let
us in pleasetell Mr.. Bramlette about it,
so We can get in and YOU will oblige yours.
A club of nine hundred labOring men OF
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad drew
23,938, the prize being SO. They, how
ever, only held half a ticket. leaving S}2.j0
to be divided between them. The clut
was called the "IucBy" club. 1t was also
ramOred that another club of railroad la
boHers had won $500, but our reporter
could not lean its truth. Several clubs in
Limerick Won small prizes. Mr.. f. \.
Liter, of the firm of Liter * Salisbury
