The Piano Drawing.

The parlor grand Wheelock piano,
offered as a gift at the capital state fair,
by Messrs, Hazard, Raymond s. Co.,
has been delivered to the fortunate hold
er of ticket number AZ, according to the
promises made by this firm in their circu-
lar and advertisements. In order that
the public might be assured of the cor
rectness of the method of drawing, a re-
porter Of the STATESMAN called upon
Messrs. Hazard, Raymond & Co., who
furnished him with a full list of tickets
drawn from the box by the judges. The
plan, as our readers will remember, was
to draw twenty-five tickets from the
receptacle, the twenty-fifth drawing the
prize.

The following acknowledgment of the
Gift was made by Mrs. Pickle on receipt
of the piano
AUSTIN, TKXAs, Oct. 30. 1882.
Ihave this day received from Hazard
RAYMOND & Co. the square grand piano
given away by them at the Capital State
Fair last Friday, which / was entitled to,
being the possessor OF ticket No. AZ. The
piano cost me nothing, Messrs. H, X. 4
Co. having delivered and set 1t up in my
house without charge.
lSlgnedl Mrs. JUsTINA E. PICKLE.
In order to complete the gift, and leave
nothing lacking desired, this liberal and
enterprising firm also gave Mrs. Pickle a
handsome cover and stool, which are
fully in keeping with the elegant style of
the gift piano itself.
OF those judges originally appointed to
superintend the drawing of tickets, Judge
Turner was holding court at San Antonio,
Gov. Lubbock was on his stumping tour
in the northern part of the district, and
Hon. C.. S. West was unable to attend
the fair on that day on account of other
engagements. The judges selected to
fiji their places are all men of the highest
standing, and are, Of course, acceptable
10 all concerned. This is one OF
the most spirited and enierprising
experiments ever tried in Texas by busi-
ness house, and cannot fail ID succeed in
sounding the fame Of the Wheelock
piano throughout the state. 1t viii
be remembered In this connection,
that the Wheelock took the blue rib
bon a the state fair. Messrs. Hazard,
raymond & Co. are agents for the Steck,
