City Hall Concert Hall at 10a.m.

will take place at two weeks' interval."
Four Organisations
He said four organisations
Radio Hong Kong, Commercial Radio,
HK-TVB, and RTV - have agreed to undertake publicity work for the Lotteries,
with Radio Hong Kong responsible for this year's first Lottery.
Radio Hong Kong has arranged for the draw on June 3 to be followed
by a Cantonese opera show, "Fisherman's Daughter", to entertain the spectators.
The show will be performed by members of the Lung Cheung Dramatic Troupe.
"In addition, our Committee, in conjunction with the Information
Services Department, have prepared a booklet designed to promote better
understanding among members of the public towards the aims of Government
Lotteries and the usage of Government Lotteries Fund," he said.
