A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The management have determined
to have the drawing of the Fifth and

nevertheless certainly come off on the

The special object of this card is to
call meeting of the ticket-holders at
public Library Hall, on the Goth of No.
vember, to make arrangements in con-
nection with the committee appointed
by the Trustees to superintend the count
ing of the tags representing the num-
bers of the tickets sold. While there
is no actual necessity for the presence
of ticket-holders, as under our arrange
ments the interests of all are equally
cared for, yet at the same time 1 would
greatly prefer that as many as those in
terested as can, would attend this meet
ing, and see each for himself how per-
fectly fair and impartial the distribu-
ton must he.
Every arrangement has been made
for the drawing, but little more than a
month remains for the sale of the re-
mainder of the tickets, and whatever is
done must be done promptly.

Aentrcky arc under discussion, we fire.
q"ently hear the assertion that, after
all, it is extremely difficult so draw the
Capital Prize, or even one of the many
smaller prizes of $4,000 or 5000 and
much is also said about the uncertainty
of the venture. A careful and accurate
mathematical calculation has demon
strated that the only insuperable diff
Guilty in the way of drawing the capital
prize is the failure to purchase ticket
AS to the certainty, there is just enough
of that to add to the excitement; while
a plucky man with a ticket in his pocket
feels that he would swap his chance"
for big thing, for any moderate "cer-
tainty" that might be mentioned in a
week.
