after it is finilhad; and any prizes for which fortunate

The real fecuritiesgiyen for the payment of the Prizes,
are held by the Prcfident and two Dirc<stors of the. Bant

The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment oE
the late Commifiioners afufted in the management of thes
Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous talk;
a second time on behalf of the public j a fuffiiient num
ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the
friends to a National UniVersity and the other federal ob
ject, may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the diflerent parts of the
n Coutinent as well as from Europe, where the tieketa
1 have been sent for sale, the public are afiured that the

caution unavoidably neceflary to insure a fafe disposal
