This Lottery will afford an elegant fjiecimen of thie pri- 1
vatb buildings to be ereited ill the City of Washington— n
Two beautiful designs are already fele&ed for the entire a
fronts on two of the public squares; from these prawihgs
it isjiropofed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, 0
as soon as polfible after this lottery is fold, and to convey v
| them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in
the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. '
A nett deduction of five per cent, will be made to defray a
the necessary expenses of &c, and the surplus
will be made a part of the fund intended fotr the National I
Ufiiverfity, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as' soon as the tickets are a
fold off.—The inoffty prizes will be payable in thirty days '

tb? whole business in a year from the ending of the draw- 1

The. real fecuritjes given for the payment of the Prizes, e
_ are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank '
of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the a
mount ol thy. lottery. f
The twenty tour gentlemen who by appointment of '
:d the late Comruiflipners assisted in the managemetre of the
11 Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task
of a second time on behalf of the public ; a fufficient num
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the J
Dr friends to a National Univcrfity and the other federal ob- 3
er jeits may continue to favor the design.
:h By accounts received from the different parts of the
to Continent as, well as from Europe, where the tickets
Js ; have been sept for sale, the public are allured that th®
e. drawing will fpeedily.compien»e,.and that the care and
