cused him, and in his place assigned Messrs.
A. A. Lipscomb and Howard Clagett.

who will be the Lucky One To-day.

As we expected, our extraordinary pres
ent of $500, which we announced in Satur-
day mornings papers we would put in just
one can and place on our shelves to be sold
lean and contents) for 81 to the lucky
finder, was the means of crowding our store
from early morn till 10 o'clock Saturday
night. One gentleman, who holds promi-
nent position in the Treasury Department,
bought two cans, and was urged by the
clerk to buy the third, at that moment
standing alone on that particular shelf. He
declined. Had he done so he would have
been $500 better off this morning, for this
can actually contained five one hundred
dollar bills
In few moments colored woman
selected can containing fifty cents, which
was next to the $500 can. The clerk, when
he asked her which can she would have,
placed his hand three times on the $500
can and as many times on the other. She
took the can with the fifty cents in it. A
gentleman who found $5 in Il can, came
within two cans of the $500 can. Finally
gentleman from Baltimore, whose name
is Morris j. Mitchell, a bookSeeper at 1872
North Broadway, stepped in in q great
hurry, bought just one eau, had it wrapped
up, and was out of the store in five minutes
and he is the gentleman who was the
"luckiest," so far as presents are concerned,
that visited our store Saturday. We have
concluded 10 0uer tine same Inducements
to-day, viz: We will put in one can, aud
only one,
Five Hundred Dollars,
and place it on our shelves bright and early
this morning Not clerk will know its
exact location, and the person who selects
that can can have it, with the contents,
for dollar
Other cans will contain $3.50, or $500,
or $175, or $50, or $l40, or S125, or 500,
or $75, or $50, or $50, or $40, or $50, or S25,
or SIS, or So or So, or 50, orSS2, or 81, or
various sums down to ten cents. No
blanks. We honestly believe our tea and
coffee is the cheapest in the city, quality
considered, and every can we sell, whether
tea or coffee is worth the price we ask for
it, 81, or cans for s., II cans for Sl0,,25
cans for $50, or 65 cans for $50, with pres
ent in every can.
1t pays to get up clubs for us. Those
who-do get up clubs, as rule, are well
satisfied with the present they receive, and
nearly always send in second club within
two or three days after receiving their first
order.

these draw backs. The weather was Just right
for the horses blood, and the track, though
rather dusty, was in good order.
