GIVEN AWAY.
The Celebrated Prizs Wagon Falls
to the Lot of a Lucky Poor
Man.

Between 4 and 3 O'Clock on Thurs
day afternoon the grand drawing Of
the gift prize wagon commenced st the
5tudebaker establishment in this city.
The object OF the drawing was to OBJ
tain the names Of those who use
wagons In the various parts OF the
territory, and for this purpose the fol-
lowing ingenious plan was hit upon
by the Studebaker Company; Each
one desiring TO take part in the draw
Jog was required to put his name and
address on the Office register, every
person having certain number, ac-
cordiDg to the order of bis registra-
ton Tickets with figures cores
ponding with these numbers we're
then printed. each ticke. containing
number and the page of the regis
ter upon which said number and its
corresponding name Was to De found.
AL these tickets were then put into
revolving hollow wheel, CONSTRUCTED
By Mr.. VIM. Paul, jun., of this city)
essed with glass and the interior
divided into communicating cham
bers, so that as the wheel was turned
the tickets we're continually DIS
tributed around the interior. The
plan was to have the tickets drawn
by a disinterested party, end the
ticket extracted which had q number
upon It corresponding to any OF those
taken upon tbs book, was 10 ensitle
the holder to the wagon. II num-
Der was drawn which bad no pane
attached to it on the book, of coarse
the wagon remained uuiAken. Be-
tween 5000 and 5000 tickets we're
placed in the wheel.
At 4 O'Clock, Just before the draw
ing, Mr.. Chss. R. Savage. the pho
tographer, took view of the street,
grand sIaad, prize wagon, etc., after
which the committee, consisting of
the following well-knoIn residents,
took their places in the pavilion, .
handsome structure placed in front of
the repository: Messrs. II. B. Claw
son, chairman; Fred. Turner, secre-
tary; Hon. A. L. Thomas; 3. E.
Ewing, J. E. Foote. Frank Foote, ].

and z. II. Eannsn.
Mr.. James B. Glass, manager OF
the branch houEe, advanced to the
front, after all the arrangements had
been perfected. and in . few brief,
oongrstulatory remarks stated that
it was source OF pleasure to see so
many present who, 40 doubt, were
equally interested in fair and inn
partial drawing of the beautiful
pTlZs wagon, which the committee |
we're about 70 award to some very |
lucky man, whoever be might be;
and on behalf OF our firm I would ex-
tend to each and every person pres
ent q special cordisl invitation to
pass through our carriage depart
ment and wagon yards, and person
ally examine our large and assorted
stock of farm wagons and carriages,
which claim, without fear OF con-
tradiction, TO be the finest and larg-
est assorted stock ever entered in this
city. It became necessary for ua in
this line Of foe work TO
erect suitable buildings, which you
al will readily observe to be perms
nent, and credit to the city. We
are at the present time urging the
speedy opening OF the extension of
Commercial street 10 South Temple,
and when that has been accomplished
We will erect large blacksmith and
osrrisge-trimmiug shops. This will
still add to our facilities for doing
business.
To return to the object of our meet
ing, the prizs wagon. In repiy to the
DIT asked question, "HoW can you
give away q Wagon?" will tell you
my friende. We came hero com.
psrative strangers, and had to become
Eith you in the shortest
lime possible. Over 5000 OF you
