Golladay's fifth annual drawing took
place at the Opera House last night, and
The plan Of drawing was simple and was
carried out, as far as our reporter could OBJ
serve, with entire satisfaction. The draw
ing occupied about two hours, and during
the whole time the interest Of the speeta-
tors was kept up TO high pitch.
At SO'clock, Mr.. Golladay appeared on
the stage by the side Of his wheel Of for
tune and announced that he was ready, re-
auesting the audience to elect from among
themselves persons to superintend and con-
duct the drawing.
Messrs. A. ID. Creighton and E. G. Asa
were nominated and elected judges. II.
Bowles and Il. II. Newsom were elected
secretaries. J. Il. Venable was elected
crier. Ella Hinton and Ada Horn, little
girls, were chosen to draw the tags from
the wheel.
The tags, 10000 in number, were then
turned over TO the judges, who examined
them and placed them in the wheel. That
apparatus was made of glass and was about
two feet i'm diameter, with an axis of about
ten inches.
Mr., Golladas next explained his plan of
drawiny. He said all the thirty thousand
tickets had been put in the wheel regard
less of the numbers sold. Holders of tick
els had no need TO fear thot their numbers
were not put in the wheel; what they might
we'll far was that their numbers might not
be drawn out again. The wheel would be
rotated and the tags thoroughly mixed,
The first number taken from the wheel
would secure the capital prize, $4,000 in
greenbacks. The next, house and lot in
Louisville, valued at $4,000. The third,
house and lot in Nashville, valued at
$4,000. The fourth, a brewery in Bowl
