1. The scenery of Richmond and Its, neighbourhood, whose
beauties have long been the theme of poet and artist, has slimy.
attracted the aristocratic pleasure seekers of the metropolis.
Convenience of access, both by rail and river, has increased the
number of visitors to so great an extent so to render the present

accommodation utterlil;sdequate.
t The object of this Company Is to erect on Hichrnondhill an
Rotel possessing every modern huary and COLIVOIIiISOCC whether
for visitor or equipage.
3. The Directors have secured an excellent site, In close
proximity to the " Star and Garter," commanding a most lovely
view of the river names and the sarrounaing country, et a cost
of £7,500. The property Is now known as Ashbernham-lodge,
and contains about three amen, partly copyhold (eqnal to free-
hold) and partly lensebold, with upwards of 60 years to run at a
moderate ground rent of £2O per annum. The grounds are
at present beautifully holdout. and will be further Improved to
make them as perfect as possible.
4. The Hotel will contain large and small dining rooms, reading
rooms, billiard rooms, bath rooms, smoking room, sod upwards
of one hundred bedreonsa, and will orter every portrlde conveei.
coca and attraction both to visitors desiring to spend a few
Yours out of town, and to those desirinz temporary residence.
X. Hotel Companies having became a recognised Institntiou In
England, and, with hardly an exception. paying good dividends,
no exams need be offered for putting this undertaking before the
public. Large fortunes have been realised by the proprietors
and lessees of hotels in the immediate vicinity, from which It
may be confidently anticipated that this Hotel will be among the
most prosperous of this very profitable class of undertakings.
O. As an evidence of the large profits derived from hotel pro-
perty, It may be mentioned that the Queen's Hotel Company,
Norwood in undertaking similar in nearly every respect to the
proposed Richmond Hotel) have declared a dividend of ten pu
cent.
7. The nominal capital of the Company Is fixed at £lOO.OOO, but
It Is confidently expeMed, looking to the small cost of the site,
Cc., that not ntruly all of this sum will be required : the Direc-
tors therefore propose at to issue only one half the shares.
Plans of the Kite, together with a photograph of the view, may
be seen at the temporary offices.
Interest at the rate of 5 per cent will bo paid on all sums
received until the opening of the Hotel.
Prospectuses and forms of application may be had at the offices
of the Company, or of the brokers and bankers.
