And approved notes, securing payment ineither money
or prizes, in ten days alter drawing, will be received for
any numbpr not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri
vate buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—
Two beautiful designs are already feleyted for the entire
fronts on two of the public squares ; from these prawings
it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings
as soon as poflible after this lottery is fold, and to convey
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
the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus
will be made a part of the fund intended for the National
University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are
fold off.--The money prizes will be payable in thirty days
after it is finith.id ; and any prizes for which fortunate
numbers aie not produced within if,. ■ .1...
drawing is doled, are to be conltdercd as given towdfdi
the fund for the University ; it being determined to fettle
the whole iufmefs in a year from the e itling of the draw
ing, and to take up the bonds giv?n as security.
l'he real securities given for the payment of the Prizes,
are held by the President ana two Dire&ors of the Bank
of Columbia, and are valued it more than half the a
mount of the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointtnent of
the late Commissioners affiftcd in the management of the
Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous tafc
a second time on behalf of the public ; a fufficient num.
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the
friends to a National University and the other federal ob
jeits may continue to favor the difign.
By accounts received from the different parts of the
Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets
have been sent for faje, the public are allured that tin
drawing will fpe'edily commenae, and that the cart arid
caution unavoidably necelfary to insure a fafe disposal of
th« tickets,has rendered the iaor fufpeaGonindifpenfabk.
