PROSPECTUS.

The Star and Garter at Richmond has a world-wide cele-
brity. This is due not only to its situation, but also to its
high reputation for tavern and entertainment purposes.
Standing on the summit of the hill at the very entrance to
the park, with the far-famed view of the Thames beneath,
and surrounded by the Petersham woods, its situation is
confessedly unsurpassed, whilst the large and increasing,
business testifies to the high repute in which the house itself
is held.
The business hitherto done has been almost entirely con-
fined to that of a tavern. So frequent, however, have been
thy inquiries by persons of rank and distinction for sleeping
and eeneral hotel accommodation, that the present proprie-
tors have long had it in contemplation to meet this want by
adding to the present tc ructure.
To do this and to make such alterations in the building as
the requirements of the present day would render necessary,
if the Star and Garter is to maintain its status and charac-
ter, will involve an expenditure beyond the measure of pri-
vate enterprise.
The object of forming this Company is to meet this diffi-
culty—purchase the interest of the present proprietors, and
make such alterations and additions to the property as will
not only ensure the prestige of the house being kept up, but
still further add to its high character.
The peculiar formation of the ground affords opportunity
for terracing and doubling the are,, and thus materially in-
creasing the facilities for enjoying the natural beauties of the
situation.

The property will be conveyed to the rempauy as freehold,
an advantage of no ordinary kind, and will carry with it the
brood-will and connection of a business already in existence,
and unsurpassed by any establishment of a similar kind at
home or abroad.
terms upon which the property will be acquired are
such as the L irectors, with the aid of competent professional
advice,_ believe to be alike mcderate and advantageous to the
Sompany. The furniture and the stock in trade, including
a 2
.9.ellar of choice wines, will be taken at a valuation.
Tonnes
g,Ts J. E. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand,
and Co., has gone fully into the details, and has sa-
tisfied himself of the merits of the project, and will act per-
sonally as the company's auditor.
, It has been felt to be highly important in the interests of
the shareholders to keep identified with the house the present
_onnection, including as it does noblemen and families of the
niglie-t character and position, and many of the City com-
panies and guilds of London. With this view, arrangements
have been made with Mr. George Ellis, one of the present
Proprietors, to act as managing director of the Company for
period of two years, if desired so to do. This fact, aided to
tne presence of Sir. Staples at the board, will ensure more
'an ordinary attention to the details of practical manage-
Again it has been felt to be important to guard against any
interference with the current business during the time the
contemplated additions to the building, arc in progress, and
these works (which will occupy a limited period only) will
accordingly be so conducted, under the direction of Mr, Ed-
'Ward M. Barry, the Company's architect, ss to obviate the ne-
cessity of a single day's intert,rence with that business.
The proposed additions, which will be more especially de-
signed for hotel purposes, and have a distinct entrance, will
consist of additional wings, containing vetween 60 and 70
rooms, and will be so constructed as to allow of further ex-
tension from time to time as occasion may require. Theesti-
saated cost of the new wings, together with the alterations
a'd improvements in the existing building, is £60,000, for
Which expenditure such an amount of comfort and accommo-
dation will be secured to visitors, whether in large or small
Parties, as cannot fail to be attractive, and produm far more
than an equivalent for the outlay involved. The whole of the
'works—which it is proposed to commence forthwith—Will be
of a plain and substantial character, without needless outlay
for purposes of decoration.
Starting as this company does with a building already
erectad, and a first-class and highly remunerative business
connected with t hat building, the shareholders will have ad-
vantage not usually met with in undertaking's of this de-
scription ; an immediate income will for instance be forth-
coming without waiting for the erection of the Hotel and the
subsequent establishment of a business.
The profits of the current business will allow of the pay_
ment of a fair dividend upon the proposed capital ; and it is
mot too much to anticipate that when the contemplated addi-
tions and improvements have been made, the profits will be
such as to ensure the payment of large dividends.

As the profits of the current bushiess afford a legitimate
fund for the payment of interest upon the sums received
from shareholders, without entrenching upon capital,
interest at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls from the day of payment.
The same rate of interest will be allowed on shares paid up
In full.

No fees to promoters or "promotion money " in any form
has been or will be paid.
The present proprietors have agreed to accept in shares of
the Company one-fourth part of the purchase-money, and a
further considerable amount of the capital has already been
otherwise sutscribed. Applications for shares to be made in
the form annexed to the prospectus, with toe deposit of .£1
er share to the bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co.,

Co.. 15, Lombard-str et.

Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8.. is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing, SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
