yet the federal City will gain its object thereby,
in a magnificent building designed both for pub

Although some ex pence must necessarily at
tend the conducing of the lottery, (which ex
pence will be taken from the principal prize) the
Commissioners having agreed to present in re
turn a fuffici'cnt quantity of excellent free-ftone,
together with the best adapted lots for the hotel
and for the out-houfes, the value of the lottpry
entire may be fairly'rated at something more than
par: In this important instance it will be found,
on examination, to exceed all ihe lotteries that
have ever been offered to the Public in this or
perhaps in any other country. The keys of the
Hotel, when cornpleat, will be delivered to the
fortunate pofleffor of the ticket drawn aagaioft

without aeduft ion, in one month after the d) awing, by

Bank or Banks as may be hereafter announced,
for the convenimcy of the fortunate adventurers.
