much more than what was
allowed to be raised by the former Act of the General
Court--therefore the present Lottery is allowed._

_AND since the said Bridge so well answers the Expectation of
the Public, and the Travelling that Way thereby is rendered
much more easy and pleasant; the Managers doubt not there
will be a great Demand of the Tickets, from a Principle of
encouraging and promoting a Work of such general Utility, if
there were no other Inducement. But when they consider how
much this Scheme is calculated in Favour of the Adventurers,
there being many Prizes of great Value, and but two Blanks to
a Prize; they doubt not of a very speedy Sale of the
Tickets._

_Tickets purchas'd at_ Boston, _if fortunate, will be paid
off there. Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place
of Drawing; and as soon as finished, the Prizes will be
published in the_ Boston Gazette and Country Journal. _Gold
as well as Silver will be received for Tickets; and the
Prizes paid off accordingly. Prizes not demanded in Twelve
Months after Drawing, will be considered as given to the
common Stock for building and maintaining the said Bridge,
and will be so applied._

_Tickets are to be Sold by the Managers in_ Newbury, _by_
Ebenezer Storer, _Esq., and Son; Mr._ Timothy Newell; William
& James Jackson, _and the Printers hereof in_ Boston.
