L IGHT-HOUSES erected on proper Places, for the Safety of Trade and Navigation, being by all Trading Nations, allowed to be of the greatest Utility; the Legislature of the Colony of New-York, from a Con- viction of the Necessity of a proper LIGHT-HOUSE on Sandy-Hook, for the better Security of the Trade and Navigation of this and the neighbouring Colonies, being ready and willing to assist towards the Completion of the Light-House already begun there, did, in their Session in December 1762, pass a Law to raise, by Way of Lotteries, the Sum of Six Thousand Pounds. The One-half whereof to be applied towards finishing and compleating the Light- House begun on Sandy-Hook; and the other Half to- wards defraying the Exigencies of Government. In order therefore to carry into Execution the good Inten- tion of the Legislature, the following Scheme of a Lottery, for raising Three Thousand Pounds, is presented to the Publick : And it is hoped, that from the immediate Neces- sity of the one, and the Urgency of the other Purpose, the LOTTERY will meet with all due Encouragement.

Pounds, against one in his Possession, called the True Briton. And as the Breed of English Horses is squinted at, with great Contempt, I take the Liberty to acquaint the Public, that I will start a Horse lately purchased by me of Mr. Holmes, of Carlisle, in Old England, to run for One Hundred Pounds, over Haerlem Course, the best of Three Four Mile Heats, against his boasted Favourite, each carrying Nine Stone, on the Tenth of April next. And I will bet One Hundred Pounds, that mine is better bred; and a Third Hundred Pounds, that he is much bet- ter qualified for a Stallion, being far superior to his Horse in Shape, Strength, and Action. It may be proper to ob- serve to this redoubted Advertiser, That all Five Years old Horses carry no more than Nine Stone: And he is cautioned, not to look upon such a shaped Animal as the Briton is, to be invincible, until he has beat a good Horse which he once most unsuccessfully attempted. Remem- ber PACOLET, Master Abraham. One Word more, and then I shall have done with the Jersey Hero. I will en- gage to run the Produce of a Mare that shall be covered by my Horse, against the Produce of one covered by the Briton, in April, when they are rising Four Years old, at 8 Stone 7 Pounds each, for Three Hundred Pounds, play or pay. And this Challenge I am indebted to give, that the Publick may be informed, I rely as much upon the Goodness of my Horse as a Stallion, as I do upon his Racing Performance. If therefore the Briton is not ap- prov'd in Shape, Strength, and Running Form; and if his Owner declines to consent to what I have offered, de- sire he will not presume to rank him with any others than the common Mongrells of the Country from whence he was derived, and that he will be forever silent upon the Subject of Matching and Racing.
