Old Public Lotteries.

Harvard was aided by lottery in
1889 by a special act. The scheme was
to buy Joseph Pope's orrery for the
college. Three thousand tickets at
$50 each were sold. The plan was
successful, and after all expenses had
been paid Harvard had the orrery and
$500 in the school treasury. Among
the public buildings erected in Amer
lea by the aid Of lotteries Faneuil hall,
in Boston, has the most historical in
terest. The hall burned in 1851 and
then the selectmen of Boston were
instructed at town meeting to petit
ton the general court to empower a
suitable person to raise by way Of
lottery such sum of money as would
be sufficient for the rebuilding of the
hall. The legislature granted the
petition, and the profits of the lot
teries, which extended to 1864, were
applied to the erection of the second
Faneuil hall, which held the town
meetings OF the Revolution and still
stands In 1893 an act was passed
which put an end to the sale of lottery
tickets in Massachusetts.
