00 Tickets at 2 Dollars each, is 12,000 Dollars.

Remains 1200 Dollars,

to be applied to the Purpose aforesaid.

The Necessity of a large and convenient Hall in such a Town
as this, upon all Public Occasions, can't be disputed. The
Rebuilding _Faneuil-Hall_ has therefore been generally
approved of; and the Encouragement it will meet with from the
Public, will, we doubt not, be in some Measure proportionable
to its Importance: We promise ourselves therefore a speedy
Sale of the Tickets; and hope we shall soon be able to draw.

Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place of Drawing;
and as soon as the Drawing is finished, a List of the Prizes
will be published in _Edes_ and _Gill's Boston Gazette,_ &c.
and the Money paid to the Possessors of the Benefit Tickets,
in Twenty Days. Gold as well as Silver will be received for
the Tickets, and the Prizes paid off in like Manner.

Prizes not demanded within Twelve Months after Drawing, will
be deem'd as generously given for the Purpose aforesaid, and
will be applied accordingly.

--> Tickets may be had of the Managers, or of _Green &
Russell,_ in Queen-street, who will receive Prize Tickets in
LAND-BANK LOTTERY.

In 1782 the State of Massachusetts granted a lottery for the benefit of
the paper-mill at Milton.

The Clergy were often asked to use their influence to promote special
schemes. For instance, the Leicester Academy at Lancaster, Mass.,
wishing to raise about $800, advertised on June 28, 1790, a lottery, the
scheme comprising three thousand tickets at $2.00; and the managers,
Edmund Heard and Ephraim Carter, say, "_As the design of this Lottery is
for promoting Piety, Virtue, and such of the liberal Arts and Sciences
as may qualify the Youth to become useful Members of Society, the
Managers wish for and expect the aid of the Gentlemen Trustees of the
Academy,_ the REVEREND CLERGY, _and all persons who have a taste for
encouraging said Seminary of Learning_." Comment on this is unnecessary.
As unscrupulous persons often sold drawn tickets,--for it seems there
were irregularities even in those days,--the following advertisement
warrants the tickets undrawn,--

Wheels very rich!
