ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The Star and Garter at Richmond has a world-wide cele-
brity. This is due not only to its situation, which is unsur-
passed, but also to its high reputation for tavern and enter-
tainment purposes.
The current business has outgrown the proportions of the
present building. and there is a great demand for increased
hotel accommodation in Connection with the establishment.
The object of this Company is to meet this difficulty, and,
baying purchased the hotel and voodwill of the business, im-
prove and enlarge the present building.
The property will be conveyed to the i'ompany as freehold,
and upon terms such as the I, irectors, with competent profes-
sional advice, believe to be mcderate. The furniture, stock-
in-trade, and wines, will be taken at a valuation.
_ In order to keep the present connecticn identified with the
house, arrangements have been made with Mr. Gorge Ellis,
the present proprietor, to act as Managing Director of the
Company for a period of two years, if desired so to do. This
fact, aided to the presence of Mr. Staples on the board, will
enenre more than ordinary attention to the details of prac-
tical management.
a. The proposed improvements and additions—the construe-
non of which will be so arranged as not to interfere for a
single day with the current business -will, it is estimated,
cost £60,000. The additions, which will consist OT additional
wings, and be more especially designed for hotel purposes,
liv.th a distinct entrance, will be of a substantial character,
Without needless decoration.
Starting as this company does with an hotel and business
already in existence, an immediate income will be forth-
coming. The profits upon the current business are capable
of Paying a fair dividend on the whole of the proposed capl-
', ; and it is not too much to anticipate that when the con-
teniPlated additions and improvements have been made, the
profits will be such as to ensure the payment of large divi-
dends upon that capital.
Mr. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand, Youngs,
and Co., has satisfied' himself of the merits of the project,
and will act per sonally as the company's auditor.
As the profits of the current business will allow of the
payment of interest upon sums received from shareholders;
'Without entrenching upon capital, interest at £5 per cent. per
annum,, will be allowed all calls from the day of Payment*
hikhe same rate of interest will be allowed on shares paid in
