As early as a quarter past 10 o'clock on Tues- day morning, interest fan to be especially manifested in the grand dra of the Louisi- ana State Lottery by the gathering of people at the door of the drawing room, along the side- walk, in the shade opposite, and in various peers along St. Charles street, up and down as ‘ar as the hotel on one side, and the Academy on the other. In fact, however, the interest was not alone confined to these groups, for since many weeks past the lottery drawing has been the paocival theme of conversation not only throughout t his elty and State, but also all over the Union. Un- usual Interest was shown partly because of the peculiar situation the company has since aXit- tle while back held with regard to the State, and partly because here when some were im- agining the lottery broken up, it really turos out that the organization is stronger than ever, and to prove it wasabout to give one of the largest, and, to judge by the rapid sate of tlek- t8, Most popular drawings in Its history. by hait-past 10 o'clock the crowd about the THE doors had grown to very large numbers. : Alter a little, that 1s to say, ‘0 I at twenty minut il, the gate was unlocked. and the crow as ce to the second story of the Lottery Dg. ball, as is well known to the majority of the readers of the Times, is of a length of about i0 feet, by a breadth of 39 feet, and Is rigorously iain. At the upper, or St. Charles street, end, is the platform upon which rests the two w one for the prizes and the other for the numbers to be drawn. About five feet in front runs across an {fron railing, to keep back the crowd. Along the left side of the hall are a row of win- dows, which provide the necessary ventilation. The rear of the hall is also divided off bya railing, and back of this, on the wall, {s a black board, upon which the winning numbers are chaiked. The crowd surged up into the hall and hung itself upon. the railing. Soon the hall was crowded, and the audience eagerly awaited the Ferformance. For the first time a grand drawing was to be held in the rooms of the company. There were no chairs, and the crowd could not have rel- ished the position. Nevertheless, they mant- fested not only patience, but the greatest inter- est, and remained standing until 3 o'clock, the closing hour of the drawing. At the next grand drawing, the company will follow the former custom, and will Rene § one of the theaters of the city. Then, also, the tree concerts will be continued. Yesterday there was none because 100m for a band of music could not be had. Already the managers of the drawing had taken their positions upon the stand. Gen. G. ‘T, Beauregard was there, silver headed he is, but yet young and in good form. His eye is as piercing as ever, and his mien is upright and as commanding as when he first led the Soutnern soldiers at Shiloh. He was simply clothed, as is his wont, in an alpaca sack coat, white shirt and cravat, and cassimere pantaloons. He is scrupulously neat in appearance. Gea, J. A. Early was alsoon hand promptly, and in his hand he carried the canvas and sealed bag in which were tickets stating the amounts of the prizes to be drawn. ‘The Gene al, although preserving his good looks remark- ably well, {ppears to have more of age Se him than Gen. Beauregard, and his beard has reached the length that betokens him to be one of the patres of the land. His shoulders are slightly bent and his step ts slow. His voice, however, Is as round and ful! as ever. Concerning his connection with the Lottery and his duties as one of the Commissioners, Gen. Early has frequently made statements, ail rene ie show that his connection ts not only honorabte in regard to himself, but also a proof of the fairness of the drawing. Before accept- ing the position of Commissioner in association with Gen, Beauregard, he satisfied himseif on three points. The first was whether he would be brought in contact with any of the state ofi- Garlan@; motion to set aside demurrer over- ruled and leave granted to amend.

Gen. Beauregard had already looked into the matter, and reached the correct conclusion. It was stipulated that if, at any time, the Com- missioners should be satisfied that the man- agers were attempting to practise any decep- lon, they were to withdraw from their poston as Commissioners, and have the privilege of making pubic anything wrong which may have been discovered. The sole agency the lottery managers have in the drawing is to furnish the materials, that ts, the ballots, tubes, bags, boxes, and wheels necessary for the purpose, and to pay the per- sons found necessary in attending to the de- tails. All these persons are selected by the Commissioners. ‘The latter take precautions to know that all the numbers, from 1 to 100,000, inclusive, repre- senting the tickets in the scheme, sold or un- sold, placed in the wheel from which the draw- ing 1s made, are counted with exactitude. The counting takes five days, and is done by the Commisstoners. There is no possibility of mis- take on their part, or deception on them through others, What ts more, atlemen are sound men, and have been associated with people of intellect all their lives. They have reputations of world-wide extent to sustain, and it is not at all Lee that they would be guilty of the cae itty of blindly certifying to the fairness of a drawing unless they knew the truth of what they stated. These are some of the causes of the immense confidence the SOE ese in the lottery— causes sufficient it would appear. At a quarter to 11 o’clock the numbers, 100,000 in all, as Gen, Early stated atthe time, were poured into the big wheel and were well shaken up. Three minutes later Gen. Early broke the seal of his canvas bag and unrolled the strip of paper which confined the tickets therein. “How many tickets are in the bet Gen. Ear- ly?” inquired the Times representative. “Nine hundred and seventy-nine,” replied the respected commander. “You know it yourself?” “Yes, for I counted them myself before I put con in the tubes, and I have counted the Atl o'clock promptly the drawing began by the blind-folded boy producing the number 55,444, which he handed to Gen.

LOU4SIANA STATE LOTTERY COMPANY. TUNTIY TO WIN latter called the figures and handed it to Mr. Adam Giffen, who called it out to the crowd reopen, almost at the same time, the blind- folded boy drew out a tube from the small wheel. Gen. Beauregard opened the tube, and declared the ticket called for $100, He then handed the ticket to Mr. Louis H. Pille, who called the amount out in a loud tone. As each big number came out of the line there was a buzz of excitement on the part of the au- dience. At twenty-seven minutes past 11, Early announced the number 35,495, and Gen Beauregard immediately answered with the words, “‘One Hundred Thousand Dollars!” For a minute there was absolute silence. Mr. Pilte then took the ticket and repeated the words of Gen. Beauregard. The statement being thus endorsed, and the figure on the Ucket being exhibited, the crowd swallowed the stupendousness of the winning, and the whoie rcom was filled with the loud buzzing ot voices. ‘Have you got it?” ‘*Where’s my number?” “Wonder if it was sold here?” +] am sorry it came out so soon!” &c, were the remarks beard on all sides. After this the interest subsided somewhat, andthe people who had come only to se the $100,000 prize drawn, and having no interest themselves in the drawing, withdrew, leaving neariy one-half of the room vacant. ‘The firty thousand dollar prize was drawn, an- nounced, and exhibited in much the same cere- mony as the prize double thatamount. The time was 11 o’clock and 40 minutes. The crowd seemed to take in the situation better, and the excitement was less. Still, the gulp in the throat, which welcomed the flow of wealth, was visible, if not in the movements of the throats of the people In front, atleast in the excessive redness of face whitch = peice) in all who had a ticket not yet called. Here followed a lot of $100, $200 and $300 prizes, The next big one was No. 24,703, $20,000, ‘These were announced by Messrs. James H. Phelps and J. P.

These two had relieved Messrs. F and Grifiin at the ex- piration of the first hour. ‘The system of booking the numbers as drawn, with the values attached, used by the company isa very scientific one, and insures correctness. Thee are two ledgers prepared so ruled that it is with utmost ease the figures may be placed. The system also has its benefits after the drawing, when the total list has to be printed on the large display sheet. The binding of the ledgers is cut, and the sheets go directly to the printer. ‘The ledger pages are indexed with figures 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and so on to 90 to 100.
