II APPROXIMATE GIFTS.
We take from the official report of the
drawing ofthe Fourth Grand Gift Concert,
as it appears in the Public Library Paper,
the following explanation of the numbers
which are entitled to the 1000 approxi-
mate gifts of s, $50. The numbers of all
the unsOld tickets which come within the
range of the approximation are given, and,
with these and the table of 1000 drawn
numbers, published in the COurier-JOurndl
the day after the drawing, any one can tell
what tickets are entitled to the approx
mate gifts. 1t will be seen that all tickets
from No. l to 2,617, and from Nos. 47,61S
to 10000, except those which drew higher
gifts, as shown in the table Of 1000 drawn
numbers and those which nave been can
celed as unSOld tickets, the numbers of
which are given below, are each entitled TO
an approximate gift of 81 so. The ex-
PLANTATION is both simple and plain and can
be understood BY any n who is interested
in the subject, and sill take the trouble to
examine it. These approximations amount
TO the good, round sum of S412,500, and
are SO distributed that they will bring a
little money 20 not less han 1000 per-
sons, and may be ten times that number:
Ticket number 90, 1O4 having drawn the
capital gift of S1S1,J00, The first $500 num-
bers nearest 10 il on both sides, making in
all 1000, are each entitled to an approxi-
mate gift of $3.50. The only exception
to this count for the approximations Is hat
when one of these nearest numbers has
drawn a higher gift it will be excepted,
and the next nearest number in regular
order will be taken. so as TO avoid paying
two gifts to any one ticket.
If 55,I04 be taken as the centre of a nu-
merical circle of $4,000 having the lowest
number, one, and the highest, sixty thou
sand, brought together, a count of $500
numbers on each side of this centre would
embrace the numbers from 81. 104 to GOA
on the left and from 55,104 to 1904 on
the right.
In the count for approximate gifts, when
any Of the 1900 unsOld tickets come with
in the approximate range they must be ex-
cluded and the count proceeded with just
as if these uusold numbers did not inter-
vene. The unSOld tickets, which were not
represented by tags in the wheel, and
which come within the specified range of
the approximations as above explained, are
the following:
