An intense passion for taking a chance is an outstanding characteristic of the Chinese race. This was demonstrated when Chinese formed almost the whole of crowd of some 10,000 that thronged the Canidrome grandstand to see the drawing of the first National State Lottery, which lasted from 1.30 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. The excellent picture above shows a portion of the great gathering and indicates clearly the anxiety and close attention with which the watchers followed the draw, many jotting down the numbers as they were announced. The picture inset shows the three drums from which the numbers were drawn-those of the tickets from the large one in the centre. and that on the left, and of the prizes from that on the right. The small engraved toak balls are seen being poured into the middla drum. From beneath the drains run war row brass chupauls down which the released balls rolled to the announcers. The ticket that won the first prize-289287—came down after two unsold tickets had been drawn.
