The work of completing- the The Lottery apparatus designed for the Machinery, operation of the lottery in Cuba was in full swing at the Arsenal machine shops in Havana a few days ago, and a test showed that every- thing was working smoothly. It is rumored that the first drawing will take place this month or next. A building on the Prado, it was said, has been selected and then it was rumored that the National Theatre would be chosen. The apparatus is all of brass, and every move is in full sight of the spectators. To the right of illustration No. 1 is a brass cage in which numbered wooden balls are placed.
