of the undertaking is to combine under one ma-
nagement the business of keepers of lodging and
boarding houses and public and private hotels at
• the recently established watering-place of Wert
id Worthing. A provisional agreement has been en-
tered into for the lease of two newly erected man-
sions, which, being built in fiats, are well adapted
for the purpose, and the Hoene Hotel for a term of
99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furni-
ture and stook of the hotel at a cost, including all
preliminary expenses, of 40,0001. In addition, the
sum of 10,0001. will be required for furniture for
the mansions and additional stock and working ca-
pital. This amount may be raised under the bor-
rowing powers of the company, it will therefore
only be necessary for present arrangements to call
up 40 per cent. of the share capital. It is added

larger capital solely with the view of extending
their operations when the investment halt proved
to be as remunerative as it is now anticipated it
will be. No goodwill or promotion money will be
