THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE. >- -.- vx DRAWING OF THE ACADEMY OF\ MUSIC GIFT SCHEME. Scenes ?n the Building-A Slim Crowd How the Drawing wat Managed-A Fair and Sqaare Pian-Thc Big Prizes and the Lucky Numbers, ?vc, ?vc, ?vc. The anxiously awaited drawing of the prizes offered hy the South Carolina Land and Im mlgratlon^'Association began, as appointed, at eight o'clock yesterday morning. A majority of the managers were present, and we are able to say, from personal knowledge and observa? tion, that the depositing of the tickets and the drawing Itself were conducted with a scrupu? lous fairness, which made any collusion, to the Injury o? the ticket-holders, absolutely im? practicable. To those who know the gentle? men who, from the beginning, have con? trolled the affairs of the association, this assurance may seem unnecessary; but the plan of the drawing has been advertised throughout the United States, and we I deem lt only proper to declare that I the distribution has been managed in such a way that every person has "had an I equal chance of winning a prize. Every check and security which could be suggested j has been adopted, and we have a right to say that the whole affair has been managed in a way which should satisfy the most captious loser. It is a square drawing, whose only fault is that all the ticket-holders cannot take j tl*capital prize. We give officially the num? ber of the tickets which win the prizes of I $1000 and over, and hope to publish, when the drawing ends, an official list of all the winning numbers. -At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the doors j of the Academy were thrown open, and the I tlcket-hplders began ta? enter, slowly at first j ???H in silence, as it awed by the chilly solitude ?Otf the place which they were accustomed to behold brilllaotly lighted up and echoing to the noisy plaudits of the audience. It was still enough now; and the sober change seemed j to portend the chance which might so soon be? fall the structure. -The thinly scattered spec? tators eyed each other askant and scanned the .?ecoraUons of the beautiful Temple of the urama with a newly-awakened Interes:. The delightful possibility of becoming its proprl et or, at one turn of the whee?, kept! rising io their minds, and gave a pleasant coloring to their thoughts. On one of the front rows of the ? oroheetra chairs sat an old gentleman from an upper I deest-rict. He had anticipated a great rush for seats, and was Been hanging around the door a little after daybreak in his primitive black felt and domestic snit. His seat com? manding a full view of the stage, and within easy hearing, he never abandoned lt during j the whole day, and as each number was j called he would scan, with anxious care and" j all-absorbing interest, a number of tickets I which he held in his hand. He gave no signs of having been In luck, and never looked I > around except when he was wiping his silver spectacles in the corner of his handkerchief. Near him sat an old lady, whose bolt upright position and sternly compressed lips gave one the Idea that she was continually about to leap up to a fearful height In the air and give vent to a fearful scream. She never looked to the right or to the left, but watched the wheels intently. It was plain that she had but a single number and knew every figure in it by heart. Luckily for I , the crowd it never came oat, or the services J of the coroner might have been necessary. The seats were thinly peopled, but on eve-y countenance the same expression of eager Interest could Be detected. Generals M. C. Butler and M. W. Gary, and I Jonn Chadwlok, Esq., made their appearance a little after eight, and the commissioners, Colonel Ben). H. Rutledge and C. N. Saber, being present, the Important business was I begaq. On the right of the stage was mount ed the big wheel for tbe one hundred and fifty thousand numbers. The one ordered from Bal? limore by the Sea Gull had been repudiated, and the one used was made to order In this city. It was "a big thing." being about five feet in diameter, eighteen inches through, and being turned by large spokes on an iron axle. The numbers from 1 to 159,000 were brought out upon the stage in three trunks and a box. EThese, were. Inspected by .the commissioners I Ind a large'number of ihe audience who came I fer ward by request for the purpose. A large tin funnel was then plaaed in the square door of the big wi)eel and tho numbers were then rapvoly shovelled in. They were neatly print? ed on red. slips of pasteboard, with a star on one end to denote the right of the long num? bers. I ?The small wheel which had been obtained c the occasion from the Charleston Charita Rassociatlon, was mounted On the left of Sgtage. In this were placed 2405 slips od Btr, each having the value of the prize it j presented neatly printed upon.it in large red letters. The slips were rolled up tightly | like cigarettes, and were inspected by the commissioners as they were placed in the wheel,. At-thls wheel stood a blind man who was retained to draw, the prizes out. Ithe prompter's stand, still further to the lat Messrs. Cart, Dibble and Goodrich, acted as clerks, and wrote down the lucky ?rs and the prizes as they were drawn, best Mr. D. A. J. Sullivan called aloud the Hs drawn, and Captain Melchers, after resisted by Mr. Robert S. Pringle, did COO Bama for the prizes. ' Near by In the rear sat the commissioners Shi the members of the firm of Butler, Chadwick, Gary & Co. Everything being now in readiness, the work began, and was conducted as follows: The big wheel was revolved swiftly several times, and having been stopped, with the little door uppermost, a Email, blind-folded boy, perched upon a stand near it, Inserted his arm and drew forth a number. This he banded to MrTfeulIlvan, who, with stentorian voice, pro jg??ped lt to lue audience. While this was fjCtfbg on, the smaller wheel had been revolv *wTa prjze had been drawn out by ihe blind man and was opened by Captain Melchers, who gave lt to the audience emphatically, like the word of command. The number and its ?apprize were duly entered by the clerks, and 60 ^bn from the beginning again. At first the excitement was intense, and '.the boldest held their breath," lest the Acad rjj^fcjny prize or the $100,000 prize should come tumbling up to some unexpected number. There were 2405 prizes to be drawn, however, ?tne audience, which was still snail, be j?take things coolly as they heard the nu? tt smaller prizes of $10, $25 and $50, Eng each other in quick succession, first $100 prize caused some sensation, but suddenly No. 19919 was called, and as a prize of $1000 was announced, a subdued buzz ensued similar to that occasioned by the sounding of the dinner bell on board of a crowded steamboat. Things went on quietly and easily until several $500 and $1000 prizes had been drawn, and No. 94796 was pulled ?$nt: --Don't all look at your tickets at once," says the teller. A $10,000 prize is announced, and the audience shudder and sigh like a ner? vous person under a shower-bath. drawing now assumed a duller aspect, and but little occurred to disturb the monton ous rattling of the wheel and sonorous an * noAcement of the result. During the after noon the house improved io numbers, and, becoming impatient, several objections were made by persons from the audience to the manner in which the big wheel was manipula? ted. Every effort wa9 made by the managers to satisfy such objections as were made-lna becoming spirit, but those wt ich seemed to emanate from a spirit of fault-flndiog were silenced at once. late in the afternoon when every particle of excitement had vanished and the audience were drowsy, the number 120296 wa3 an? nounced. "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL? LARS !" says Captain Melchers in an emphatic manner, and the audience started as if they had been seated on a galvanic battery. "Call that number again please," and 120296 resounded once more atong the empty gallery, and echoed back from Mount Rascal in a most startling manner. Tickets were pull? ed out and examined up and down, sideways and all around; but figures, they say, won't ile, and the tickets were replaced, as a hun? dred bright air castles went crashing down in dismal disappointment. But talkiDg about four castles, the Academy is to come yet, and the spectators take heart again. The gas has been lljrhted from an hundred jets and chandeliers, and the Acade? my looks as bright and splendid as fairy land. Who would not win such a prize? Afine band has been engaged for the "concert," and every available seat and all the standing room is filled as the sweet strains are heard., A short hour's interval of music and refresh? ments at 7 o'clock, and straightway the draw? ing ls resumed. The house is Jammed now, and a sympathetic laugh Is heard as.some number with six sounding figures is called aloud and rewarded with a prize of $10. The houris big with fate, however, and a little be? fore 9 o'clock THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC 19 an? nounced as the prize drawn by number HS 021. The audience listen lu silence, the num? ber is distinctly repeated, and then such a peal of applau'e follows as would make the heart of an actor swell with pride. There was but little left now to get into a fever about, and crowds take their leave. There are fifteen hundred numbers more to be drawn, however, and the officials keep stoutly at the work, from which all the excitement has for them long sioce worn away. The drawing was kept up until twenty minutes after eleven o'clock, when General Butler an? nounced that the operations would be dis? continued until morning. A committee from the remalniog spectators was then requested to stay and watch the wheels daring the night at the Academy, and the holes lo each through which the numbers and prizes were drawn hav? ing been securely sealed, the crowd quietly dis? persed to talk the matter over. The drawing will be resumed at eight o'clock this morning. The following is au official list of the prizes ot $1000 and over which were drawn during the day and of the numbers drawing them: 19919.$1,000 27213. 1,000 31782. 1,000 40483... 1,000 47476. 1,000 93231*..... 1,000 94796.10,000 100214. 1,000 11(3044.academy of Music. 119936.1,000 130290..-..$100,000 meetings This Day.
